For the last few years we've made it a tradition to trek in to New York City on the day after Thanksgiving (along with about a million other people.) Not to shop, but to walk around and sightsee and have lunch (and bargain with the street vendors over scarves-- such deals!) This year a few more family members joined us. We had a blast.

Good Morning All:
I was up and about bright and early this morning, as I had a landscaper team coming in at 7:30 a.m. Of course, they were only here for a couple of hours, nevertheless, I had to be here to meet them. They came in to break up the dirt in my garden pathway. This isn't a huge job for guys with jackhammers, but for us, it was impossible. You see, the dirt here in this part of the world is, literally, as hard as concrete. 
This dry, arid air makes for hard packed earth that no shovel can break down. So...in order to lay a path of walking stones, we first had to hire these gentlemen to come in with jackhammers to loosen the path. In just a mere few hours our pathway soil went from cement-like to something that almost resembles sand. 
The soil is so loose and free that the ants have already started their tunneling and busy work. 
This weekend, we will buy the stones and lay them ourselves. Through-out the next couple of weeks, I will plan the beds and ground-cover. All of this, by the way, is my Mother's Day gift from Gary and the kids. It's what I wanted! I've been waiting to get this side of my garden finished for several years now, so for me, this is huge.
I'll keep you posted on the progress of this long-awaited pathway...In the meantime, here are my two newest prints listed in My Etsy Shop.

oh that sounds like a lot of funny. i wish i could get my husband to do something like that. he hates cities. wonderful blue-y nyc map!
i meant 'fun', a lot of 'fun'....mondays...
I think I like a lot of funny better!! :-)
I like having a lot of funny too.
I don't go for the big cities either ( high five Chad), but I'd do it for Christmas time in NYC. My grandparents used to take me to FAO Schwartz to see the toys.
Rockafella Plaza.
Nice map as always. Did you pick whih things to highlight or was it the client?
Thanks, Frank! Nah... the client usually tells me what they want labeled.
We did FAO Schwartz a few years ago... must have walked about a million blocks. Not sure if I could live in the city, but sure is fun to visit. No one is weird there! Everyone fits in! ;-)
I thought you'd like having funny, too. (You've started something new, Christine!)
ok you two...you'd think i didn't win the 4th grade spelling bee or something? LOL hmmmm......
chad in the city would not be 'funny'....so he can hang out with frank and jennifer and i can go site-seeing...
Um... Chad hanging in the city?? Now THAT's funny! (Sorry. I know the elections are over and all...)
;-D
Hanging chad. oh yeah. Hey we should start a comedy blog in our free time.
as hysterically funny as i'd like to say all these 'jokes' are, i think it's best we all stick to our art careers... i'm chuckling though
Yeah-- comedy might be the only career that has more rejection than art! ;-D
