Everything I learned about NYC, I learned on the Grey Line tour bus. You’re invited to ride along. Times Square.Because the NY Times was located in the building behind ‘the ball’ at the intersection.Like Vegas only more squooshed.Been there. Done that. Don’t need to do it again. Uptown.Not a location per se, but a direction.If you are going anywhere north on Manhattan it is considered ‘uptown’.Going south? It’s ‘downtown’. “Up. Down. Cross. Town”.I give it a 10. It has a… [Read More]
I should have known better. I heard the Ouija Board Face Book Edition was a portal to the past and things unworldly. I heard the stories of people mischievously conjuring up old boyfriends and the like. I just couldn’t leave well enough alone, could I? As the bewitching spell of current technology swept over me one night putting me into a zombie-like trance, I registered my name. That’s when it happened. I opened the electronic portal to my past. Since… [Read More]
Before I take off for the college drop off I wanted to share some articles from the‘college’ section of The Huffington Poston studying tips and getting enough sleep that could benefit all students of any age. You’ll find the college tab on the blue header. It’s easy to find. The college section lists college trends, campus news, NCAA sports, articles by psychologists, professors, lecturers, economists and college students. As you can see from the article links below, my area of… [Read More]
As my college boy packs for his sophomore year it feels like autumn.The metaphor is not lost.Another takes to the wind dancing like a vibrant leaf leaving branches bare. I am ready to invite autumn in. I’ll welcome it with a fragrant invitation though the essence of pumpkins and the soft glow of candle light. I’ll treat myself to an appetizer of autumn crispness in a tart apple dipped in caramel sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. I’ll feel the softness of… [Read More]
Marianne’s photographer was also her friend and completely captured the twinkle in her eye and her playful personality. Her pictures are so beautiful and need no introduction or commentary, mine, on the other hand, need all the help they can get as you’ll be able to see at the bottom of this post. :)Beautiful photos by Brittany Dow Photography Now my photos. Brittany has no worries. These are mostly for family but I thought I’d share… “The bride and groom’s… [Read More]
We’re going to NYC for the first time for our 28th wedding anniversary next month and I’d love your input of where to go and what to see!! Of course, we’ve got to see the S of L and we must pay homage to Mr. P.M’s Norwegian grandparents who came through at Ellis Island. A carriage ride in the park is on my romantic man’s agenda but is that too embarrassingly bourgeois especially with my foam crown? Other than these… [Read More]
I didn’t watch the Emmys.But I read today that Jon Hamm’s fly was down for the entire opening number. Dang! I missed the best Emmys ever!
Happy Alliteration Day!Not really, I made that up. 🙂 Thought I’d report in today because for the next week or two I am going to be very busy. I have 150 cookies to make for a very whimsical nautical wedding.Today I’m going to be rolling in dough!Here is my prototype ~ I’ve ran into some problems with twisting the licorice and the stickiness factor of the strips I made from fruit roll-ups which are good to hold the licorice in… [Read More]
Hi all.I’ve got some questions for you and I’d love to hear your comments and get your insights on a few or all of them. On your own blog, would you rather see the icons and faces of followers in the box (it’s always nice to know we’re not alone) or are you just as happy with subscribers through an email feed or reader page who are not visible for display? I’m wondering why on some of the blogs I… [Read More]
Monday and it’s August 2nd. The countdown has already begun.My heart begins to thump in my chest. Matters of my heart are now pushed to the forefront as the layers that have lovingly surrounded it since June will begin to flake away by the 15th as children start to leave for college again. I always feel such conflict when the ‘back-to-school’ time of year approaches. It started when my boys were in elementary school so this isn’t a new thing… [Read More]
