And still more ramblings

-

 We saw a house yesterday.  It was listed for rent on Thursday and we were the first prospective tenants.  We put in our application as soon as we walked out of the house.  Broker had two additional appointments to show the house yesterday. Still upset about the first house, it would have been perfect, but this house is very nice, has a great location, and we’d love living there.  I want this settled soon.  Fingers crossed.

We had our Father’s Day celebration last night.  Jen is going to a bridal shower today.  She’s a bridesmaid and has known the bride since they were in kindergarten.  

Besides, Becca and Brendon had to run errands for their wedding, so they were out on Long Island all day.   

The restaurant was wonderful, even had numerous gluten free choices.  

So today we’ll do some cleaning and packing. 

Friday night could be interesting…the full moon coincides with the summer solstice…will there be magic in the air?

Look what showed up in our garden.  I’m not sure what it is, but it’s definitely interesting.

    Your mystery flower looks like a gladiolus. They are normally dug up in the fall so they don't overwinter in the ground. But, we've had them come back without digging up, so this doesn't surprise me in your zone. Too bad you will be moving before you find out if you have any other good flower surprises coming.

    Alana's right, gladiolus. Hopefully you will be in the new place (fingers crossed) long enough to plant your own flowers!

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
