#skywatchfriday -- Bored on the Belt
Coming home from a short road trip, got stuck in a huge traffic jam on the Belt Parkway. Right near Kennedy Airport, of course.
Look skyward...
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.

ReplyDeleteGreetings and Salutations! We hardly see or hear planes go over our house but it does happen occasionally. Sometimes a private plane flies by and I remember a friend of ours (God rest his soul) used to fly really, really, really, really low just to say "hi".

We were all young then.
ReplyDeleteI hate being stuck in traffic. Anything to pass the time, right? Fun to watch jets coming in low like that.
