How The Other Half Lives



 
Let's see. It's grey and rainy. We've stopped at a Dunkin' Donuts.
That can only mean one thing.
It is Springtime in the Northeastern Half of these United States. 
 
Forsythia Everywhere!
We left the Western half of the States to attend a family wedding in Connecticut.
It was lovely.
 I availed myself of the open bar and endless trays of hors d'oeuvres and generally carried on like someone who doesn't get out enough....because I DON'T. And because I like you, I will not subject you to those photos.
But this is a smattering of what we did see. 
 
We were in Edward Hopper territory.
A pit stop at a diner is required.
Sailboats on Long Island Sound. 
Now we're in Fitzgerald territory. 
The trees at Caramoor are just starting to blossom.
Ohhhhhhh!!! 
 
I can just imagine Jay Gatsby and Jordan Baker strolling down this hallway at
We even got to escape into New York City to visit our old neighborhood.
Our apartment was the brown one.
Did you ever see the film "You've Got Mail"?
That was our neighborhood.
And when I lived there I looked EXACTLY like Meg Ryan. Yeah, that's right.
 
Tulips Everywhere!
We took in Facades, the Bill Cunningham exhibit at the New-York Historical Society.
I love Bill Cunningham soooooooo much.
The restored Jose Maria Sert murals at  Rockefeller Center are insanely wonderful.
Cocktails at the Algonquin Hotel where we celebrated OUR marriage 25 years ago.
Cheers!!!
A mural of the Algonquin Round Table by Natalie Ascencios hangs in the bar.
That's Dorothy Parker in the hat. I do love Dorothy Parker. Check out these Dorothy Parker quotes HERE and you'll understand why I'm such a fan.
And it was STILL raining as we sloshed our way to the airport.

Three Things

Life has its ups and downs. That is certain. Sigh... One can easily lose perspective.
 I have found a simple little method for keeping my spirits aloft. Every day I seek out Three Things that make me feel ESPECIALLY content ~ Three Things that give me a little kick in the pants to remind me that life is good ~ my little bits of "snow in the air" if you will.
These Three Things can be as simple as a curtain fluttering in the breeze...or a perfectly ripe banana...or an off-color joke that makes you laugh so hard that your ribs hurt. Anything.

So these are my latest Three Things:

Bill Cunningham via The Sartorialist
While reading the Sunday Style section of the New York Times, I was reminded of how much I ADORE Bill Cunningham. Did you see this film? It made me cry.

I spotted these on my way to the library. I think tangerine is the color of the year.


And I found this cool video of The Syndicate of Sound while attempting to load " Little Girl" onto my ipod. Suits by the sea in 1966. Awesome.

What are your THREE THINGS??????
