June 2009 in NYC

We were in New York City this past weekend.

We stayed at the Affina 50, our room was on the corner of 50th and Third Ave, large terrace, with a large table and chairs, the living was large with a dinning table for 4, the kitchen was small, but we didn't cook, nice bedroom. The girls were in the suite next to us and had a very large kitchen but didn't have a dining area but did have two terraces,one off the living room and the other off the bedroom.

The views below are from the terrace

Had a great time, saw three plays, Reason to be Pretty - great play, Hair slightly different when I first saw it in 1971, man I hate to say that, ouch, still a good play. The last plat was recommended by Kenneth in the (212), I don't know what he was thinking. Thank you for being a Friend was the name of the play and it sucked. Thought it was just me but other people walking out were saying the same thing. Do not go and waste your time or money. I've seen high school plays that were so much better.

Three great restaurants, Bill's, Cafe Au Du Tua and Becco- all three were great, outstanding.

The First of the Season

The first pink poppy of the season in one of the front gardens

The new garden on the side of the hosue

The picture below, is in the back corner of the yard, it's how the area I've been working on looked before I ripped it all up and put in the garden.

This is my new shade garden, the bleeding hear has passed, lupins, columbines, spider wart and a hosta are in bloom.

Here are the dark and light Siberian iris, in one of the front gardens.

The first of many day lilies in bloom. This one is the first to bloom.

Rainbow on Route 3 South

The other day after it stopped raining there was a great rainbow over Route 3 south, heading towards the Cape. I took a few pictures of the rainbow from the car, we didn't pull over like other were doing to get a better picture. The two pictures I've posted are the best I got of the rainbow.

The Graduate

The Graduate from the University of Maine, Kayla Lisa Manning

Traveling up to Maine on Friday 05.08.09

Michael and I traveled up to Maine last weekend, we went to his niece, Kayla Lisa Manning graduation from the University of Maine in Orano. We took the convertible up and had the roof down for the ride up. Here are a few pictures I took while on the highway in Maine, we were on Rt.95, the highway that runs from Maine to Florida.

Playing the same CD all day at work

I'm sure my coworkers must be thinking of ways to get rid of my new CD purchase, Diana Krall "Quiet Nights" that been playing all day. I love it!!! Nice listening music, I'm thinking of playing it this summer while everyone in the dinning room for dinner.
Diana Krall will also be appearing this summer at the Melody Tent in Hyannis, Michael and I will be going to see her. If any one's is on the Cape this summer, the Melody Tent has a good line up of performers. It's a nice venue to see music, under the tent, it's a small place, 20 rows back from the stage (I think it is), the stage rotates, so no matter where you sit you get a great view of the performer.
