Our Last Night in the Big Apple :)

Had a big last day in the City. Did two plays, Spring Awakening and Hairspray. What a day! Looking forward to seeing everyone but am very sad to leave. There is so much here to see and do, I want to come back, already!

Habu yarn from Soho!

This is some of the prettiest yarn. I really like the way it looks. I got some from Purl in Soho and some in Greenwich at the Point. I love reading the comments, especially the ones from friends and family.

A Day in Soho

We went back to Soho for the day. Had lunch in Little Italy. Visited Memet, our favorite jeweler in Soho at TeNo. Went to the Purl knitting boutique. Rushed back uptown and am now getting ready for the play, Wicked. Everyone says it is the best. More tonight.

Finished the front and started the back

Finally, the knitting shops

Well, we finally began to hit the yarn shops. The first was the Yarn Connection off of Madison Avenue (see photo). Yarn was stored from the floor to the ceiling. She got two skeins of taupe Jaeger for the 'mystery stole.' Diane is getting ready for dinner and asked me to post (again). She also changed her mind on where she wants to live; now she wants to be on 3rd Ave instead of 5th Ave. We will see.

A Busy Busy Day

It was a busy, busy day and Diane and William are now sleeping. Today we did Little Italy, the Financial District, Chinatown, our favorite jewelry shop in SoHo, and ended the day with another play that had a bulldog in it !!! It looked like Maisy's twin !!! More tomorrow.

On Top of the World

From 70 stories up, we had a great view of the city from the new observation deck at '30 Rock' (Rockefeller Center). Diane is knitting now and she asked me to post this on her blog. Yes, Cassidy, I am working out with her every morning. And you didn't think I would? lol. Saw lots of neat stuff. Scored some more great theater tickets. Went to mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. And walked all over the city tonight. More tomorrow.

Tony Award Winner

David Hyde Pierce won a Tony (best actor) for Curtains and we saw why tonight. It was just excellent with a rousing 'standing ovation' at the end. It was possibly the best play we have seen. Did tons of walking today, weather was great, picked out an apartment on 5th Avenue that I want Michael to buy me, visited the Apple flagship store, Central Park stroll, etc, etc. More tomorrow.

Last week was a special week!

It has been a busy week with very little knitting but a lot of celebrating. My son William celebrated his 16th birthday this past Thursday. He had a cake made in the shape of a New York Yankees baseball. One of his favorite gifts was an electric guitar.










After many years of religious education, William was confirmed this past Saturday. His Confirmation was so special, his Aunts and Uncles were in town to be a part of the event. I got a wonderful picture of William and the Archbishop. William was truly beaming and quite proud.













After William was confirmed, we enjoyed a special dinner at Del Friscos where he ended the meal with a wonderful chocolate mousse.
