Saturday walk in the park: Prospect Park

 As much as people love TGIF..i feel the same way about Saturdays and Sundays. Sleeping in late, wearing pajamas and eating breakfast on the couch...oh wait i don't do that anymore..the doggie has to go outside at 6:30am and she doesn't care if today is the weekend.  I still love her.  And on the weekends we like to go on long walks in the park to change up the scenery and meet other canine friends.

Since we are staying in Brooklyn NY today we chose Prospect Park.  Here are some snapshots along the way

Moving Day

Yesterday was moving day...boxes, boxes, boxes, garbage, crap, more boxes.  That's usually the theme of the day.  But towards the end when everyone was exhausted and dusty and the rooms were bare i felt sadness instead of relief.  Sadness for leaving the place i've grown to call home.  Sadness to leave my first apartment after moving out from Mom & Dad's.  Sadness for everything.  


Leave the keys.  Turn off the lights. Goodbye memories...on to the next one. 

Fall Fabulous

Cooler weather is back...that means long sleeves and scarves...cashmere sweaters and hot cups of tea!!! Leaving the windows open at night and breaking out the fluffy comforter...and most of all i'm excited about black nailpolish...no more Ballerina Slippers...it's all about Essie Devil's Advocate!
