Summer in Upstate New York is just beautiful. Everything is so green and lush and at night cool breezes blow… unlike here in the city. While it still gets humid and warm up there… it is bearable because it is so relaxing. Back in the summer of 2009, we spent time visiting Dan and Paula…

#blogjune – Day 11 – 2011 Lebanese Food Festival
Last weekend, Our Lady of Lebanon Cathedral in Brooklyn Heights held the Lebanese Food Festival again. Remember last year? Well this year was sooo much better because the humidity wasn’t 1000%! It was still warm but not too uncomfortable so we were able to walk the 30 minutes to Remsen Street. This year we went…
#blogjune – Day 8 – Memorial Day
For some reason, I seemed to understand and appreciate more about Memorial Day this year than in previous years. I am not sure why, but there was a whole bevy of experiences that culminated in a further appreciation for what the day means. This is the US equivalent of Anzac Day – so it has…
#blogjune – Day 7 – Hankering for a Hankie
I cannot believe I am doing a post on this, but I must be the only person left on earth who never goes anywhere without a hankie! It definitely seems that way because trying to buy just normal, everyday hankies over here is near impossible… even Wal-Mart doesn’t have them! We eventually found some at…
#blogjune – Day 5 – Books & Stuff
I love my Kindle. I realized over the weekend that I had never written about it at the time, but part of my Christmas present from Bill (and it seems half of America got the same gift!) was a gorgeous black Amazon Kindle. I love it – I haven’t been reading as much as usual,…
What are you listening to?
I just had to share this great video. Perfect chance to do some iPod snooping, meet some fellow New Yorkers and see some of the sights as well! I most definitely had one of those “Why didn’t I think of that?” moments when I started watching it. Great stuff!
Devastation & Destruction
I spent last night glued to the TV watching live coverage of the tornado outbreak that happened across the country last night. The coverage on The Weather Channel was absolutely superb through last night and they were also fantastic during the awful night of Tornados that hit Arkansas in April. Last night they were live…
Saturday
Girl day. Upper West Side. Brunch at Cafe Luxembourg – best steel cut oatmeal EVER! An overload of gossip and girl talk. Seeing Bridesmaids at the AMC Lincoln Center. All Awwwwing over Chris O’Dowd. Love these girls!
Baking up a storm
Last Wednesday night we braved the frightful weather for a bread baking class at Le Pain Quotdien in Soho. It was some of the most fun I had ever had. There were only six of us in the class, we came home with a cab full of bread (we even gave a baguette to the…
Have a Heart!
Tomorrow night we are walking the in the 2011 Start! Wall Street Heart Walk and Run. Bill is a great supporter of this cause and this will be his fourth year both as a participant and major fundraiser – he has raised over $15,000 for the AHA over this time. I have the honor of…
