Trip to the Big Soggy

 

On Sunday I joined a few of my neighbors on a bus trip to the city.  Sometimes I call the Big Apple the city--just to annoy my west coast friends and relatives who think I've become a little uppity since transplanting to the east coast.   Of course I know there are plenty of other cities. It's just that none have quite the same charisma as the city.  I mean, where else can you find a trapeze college perched on top of a pier building along the Hudson River?  Or a white-gloved doorman hailing taxis for customers departing a Bed, Bath and Beyond store?  With an umbrella in hand.... because on Sunday the Big Apple was the Big Soggy. 

Even the newly-completed Freedom Tower was half hidden in the mist.

Since travel writing doesn't come easy for me (I just can't get past the then-we- did-this-then-we-did-that) I'll get back to what I like best....writing about my silly crafty stuff.

So the plans for the Celebrating our Creativity event here at the condos are coming along nicely.  I've recruited a few more crafters and I'm nudging some others.  I've decided to make a banner for the front of the building to let people know about the wonderful treasures inside.  Yes, I've been known to sometimes bite off more than I can comfortably chew.

And in other news, an article I wrote for the condo newsletter--under the heading of "Meet Your Neighbors"--was published.  I had a few nice comments and am hoping it will become a regular feature.  I'll include it in the blog soon--after I've had time to change names and places.  After all, Mr. Gadget is already in hot water around here.  I'd prefer to stay out of the tub.
