By now you all know how much home baking we do – as much as possible in our little apartment kitchen! We haven’t bought store bread since February and with that, a few weeks ago Bill set about to make our own homemade crumpets! Crumpets are hard to come by here. When we lived in…

Cruising with the Space Shuttle Enterprise #blogjune
We see some amazing things from the Library. Back in February we were working away when we heard a horn play New York, New York. We ran to the windows and could see a beautiful cruise ship sailing up the Hudson. It was the inaugural Disney Cruise arriving in the city with much fanfare. They…
Boo to the BBC #blogjune
The Queen’s Jubilee has been something I have been excited about for months. For the river pageant, I made sure our calendar was absolutely clear. Because of the time difference, we could get up and enjoy the pageant on Sunday morning. So naturally, I was so excited I was up at about 6am. I had…

That is the length of time that I have wasted in my life waiting for the G train at Hoyt–Schermerhorn while looking at this…
Dick Clark
I always remember randomly reading about Dick Clark when I was younger and not knowing much about him. When I moved over here and saw parts of Rockin’ New Years Eve I couldn’t understand how he was still hosting it with his difficulties since having a stroke. I am so glad I watched some his…
Yankees Vs Twins
Just a quick recap from our fab night at Yankee Stadium last night as other stuff happened besides scoring a baseball! This was my frist time at the new Yankee home though Bill had been before. I love watching sports live, in a stadium. This is just total Collingwood influence – I just can’t watch…

Tonight we are at the Yankees Vs Minnesota Twins game. I can feel the spirit of Brandon Walsh right here! Anyway, look what we got from one of the Twins players! Score!!
