HOLE IN THE GROUND

 "

"New York, New York, it's a wonderful town!

The Bronx is up and the Battery's down

The people ride in a hole in the ground,

New York, New York, it's a wonderful town"

Of course when you find a neat old shelf on the sidewalk,

 you have to haul it home...on the subway, 

the hole in the ground.

..and when your Mom is in town she makes you do it.

I was in NYC all last week visiting the kids and I am 

now jet lagged and exhausted from walking many miles, 

and from subway stairs and 

dorm stairs. Darling Daughter chose to 

live in a green dorm, no elevators.

I am happy and thrilled to have spent days

 just hanging with the kids.

Did lots, saw lots, ate lots.

Dearest Son hung with us every night and 

some afternoons. Seems he is always checking his phone

however - he is a busy guy. Still working two, no, three jobs.

I tried to read all of your posts and 

 tried to keep up with my replies to

 your lovely comments, 

 but I may have missed a few so I apologize, 

if you were one of them.

I also have rose orders that came in right

 before I left and while I was gone 

 so the shop has no new pics

as they are leaving too quickly to shoot.

So please just tell me what you would like,

 and I will get right on it, and I will try to get some 

photos in the shop by weeks end, along 

with some other items coming in soon

also - I hope. I'm a bit out of sync.

The week away and the daylight savings

 and the 3 hour time difference and 

flying the red eye both ways has me

 a bit discombobulated. It also did not help

 to sleep on an awful dorm mattress, but

 saving $1,000 on a hotel and all the late night chats

and early morning teas were wonderful 

and so worth it.

So, there you have it.

I'm sleepy and slow moving but give me one good night's

sleep and this old grey mare will be her old self.

I adore my kids and I am so blessed
 to have had this opportunity to enjoy
 sharing some of their big city world.

I hope you are all well and happy.
