From this Side of the Pond

 




1. Something little you are loving right now? 


I bought this little thing for my desk.  It doesn't take much to make me happy these days.






2. Red roses or pink peonies? Red wine or pink lemonade? Red lipstick or pink polish? A cotton candy colored sky or a fiery red sunset? A book-movie-song you love with the word red or pink in it's title? 

Roses, definitely roses.  Pink polish.  And the sunset.


And



3. What's something you currently have your heart set on doing-going-seeing-or experiencing?

Live theater.  I miss Broadway and I can't wait for this pandemic to be over and theaters to reopen.


4. Who would you most like to have a heart to heart with right now? Is that possible? 

My mom.  Or rather, my mom before she had dementia.  


5. Write an acrostic for the word L-O-V-E. 

Living in Covid times

On with the mask!

Vendors using curbside pickup

Everyone stay safe!

6. Insert your own random thought here. 


There's an ancient curse, "May you live in interesting times." We are living in interesting times indeed.

    I miss theater, too - even local productions!

    I got to see Phantom while in NY in 2008. I love it. My mom has Alzheimers and hardly talked the last year of her life.

    I'm with Liz A.! I miss live music, crowded restaurants, the bustling city streets, travel, and the list goes on. I like your 'little' something...these days it really is the little things that brighten our day.

    I totally missed how to do an acrostic. :)
    Sorry about your mom...that has got to be tough.

    Oh yes, interesting times. Who would have thought I would absolutely be riveted to something happening in the Senate? Watching them usually is like (as the cliche goes) watching paint dry. I miss live music, festivals,library book sales, and travel. Big big sigh..... Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
