305/366 Ready for trick or treaters

Mili hates to get dressed... but I love my doxie dressed as a hotdog for Halloween.  So, I torture her for just a little while every year.

We have a bowl full of candy and so far no trick or treaters.  It's a good thing I don't like any of the stuff we have to give out.  Looks like the candy is headed to my treat jar at school.

304/366 Weekly organic love

Each week, I pick up a box of locally grown fruits and vegetables from a little grocery store near my house.  I love being able to buy foods locally and I love the variety (and the surprise!) each week.

303/366 No place like home

This view from my garage is one I see almost every day.  While I had a great time being on vacation and visiting with my youngest son, I was so happy to get home early this morning.

Props to JetBlue for not canceling our flight.  It was hard to hear about so many other flights getting canceled while we kept our fingers crossed that our flight would still make it.  Also, it was the roughest plane ride I've ever been on.

We are all okay and very happy to be home!

302/366 Oddly enough

We are used to the effects of hurricanes in south Georgia.  How'd we end up dealing with one in NYC?

Please don't cancel our flight.... please.... I really do love NYC but I am ready to be home, too.

301/366 A little piece of Brooklyn

On Saturday, we first went to the 911 memorial.  Then, we went to Brooklyn to spend the day with my niece and her puppy named Taco.  We spent a long time walking around in this cool flea market not far from her apartment.

I can't tell you how happy it made me that Dalton still likes toys.

300/366 Walking the High Line

On Friday, we spent the morning gallery hopping in Chelsea and then walking the High Line.  The High Line was once a railway but now it is a fabulous little park 30 feet above Chelsea.

We spent the rest of the day walking about and shopping in Chinatown, Little Italy and Soho.

I love NYC!

299/366 An Empire State of Mind

While in NYC, there was a daily charge for use of the internet ($15 a day!).  I'm a cheapskate and I was not paying that much money for internet.  At the moment, I'm sitting at JFK hoping they don't cancel our flight... and using their free internet.

On Thursday, we traveled from New Haven to NYC.  After checking into the hotel, we walked around and shopped and talked and ate.

Originally, Dalton was going to stay with my niece but the hotel upgraded us to a bigger room and he got to stay with us.  It was a great room and only a couple of blocks from Central Park.

This picture reminded me of double exposed pictures.  I love the way Dalton was chilled out on his bed and I was snapping a picture of the office building that was the view from our room.  It was late on a Thursday night and people were still working.  I wanted to knock on the window and yell for them to go home -- but I'm sure they wouldn't have heard me.
