Another this and that

We were supposed to see a concert in NYC last night — “The Monkees - the Mike and Mickey Show” - but the show was postponed until January because Mike Nesmith took ill.   So instead we drove down to Jones Beach and took a walk, then picked up some Hawaiian take-out and came home to watch the Mets game.

Our friends L and E went to Westbury Music Fair last night to see the “Happy Together” tour — featuring the Turtles and several other bands from the 1960’s.  They were supposed to see The Monkees with us, but when the show got cancelled, they bought tickets for the Turtles.  Funny thing is, they originally had tickets for the Turtles, but sold those tickets when they bought the tickets for The Monkees.

Tonight we are headed to Citi Field for a Mets game.  You know we love baseball.

Still trying to figure out when to have the 4th of July barbecue.  The holiday is on a Wednesday this year, which wreaks havoc on our schedule.

Drew had a little visitor to his yard.







The bunny seemed to really enjoy the tall grass.  Drew’s lawn mower is back from the repair shop now.  I hate to disappoint the bunny, but I’m sure Drew’s neighbors prefer shorter grass on the lawn.

    Bummer that the concert was postponed.

    You might enjoy what the summer school is doing for the 4th. They're taking *the whole week* off. They're calling it a "spring break" in the summer. I think we all should just take the whole week. Why not?

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
