New York City Silver Thimble

This is my NYC Silver Thimble.  

I look for Thimbles everywhere I go.  Thimbles that fit my finger well.

Each drawer has a different silver pattern in it

Do I look happy?  Yes!

This is a picture taken the first day of our New York City 21 Birthday trip.

We walked by a tiny old Silver Shop which was packed full of old silver.

Cambridge is my pattern.

My Granddaughter is great. 

 She went in with me with a smile on her face and was totally patient waiting for me as I looked at everything!  It made the trip  extra fun for me.

And I found this Sterling Silver Thimble.  And it fits me. And it's pretty too.

I was in silver heaven.

NYC - Last Day of Birthday Trip

I  LOVE my Granddaughters Fit bit!! 

This is proof that we walked and walked in NYC.  I love a city you can walk around!

We began our last day in New York at St. Michael's Church.

It is a beautiful Church with Tiffany stained glass windows and a fantastic organ.  I was pleased to meet Eleanor, a customer I have talked to on the phone many, many times.  She attends Church there. 

We were there for the Blessing of The Garden!

Top of the Rock - courtesy of a Canadian we met at Matilda - who gave us tickets they didn't have time to use.  Thank you, kind lady!

We also went to the Tenement Museum which is a wonderful glimpse into our history of immigration and the people who came through Ellis Island and settled in New York.

My Granddaughter and I finished our day at the crowded Times Square restaurant Ellen's Stardust  Diner.

Here is the place for great and expensive burgers and excellent entertainment.  The wait staff sing for the customers and I have to tell you many of them are every bit as talented as the stars on Broadway - which is where they hope to be someday!

We had a great time.

Leaving in the morning!

Good bye NYC….I'll be back to visit again.

NYC Birthday Trip Day 2

We were so concerned we would have trouble on the Subway that we got there almost 2 hours early!  

But it was fun to walk around.

Day 2 Celebrating Ambers 21st Birthday in NYC!

She wanted to go on a Food Tour!

It was great.  The tour guide takes a group walking around a small area of New York and talks about interesting history and cultural events.  We went on the Village tour.

I want to live in the Village.  

Love it!!

On this walking tour, we stop (often) to sample foods that are well know in The Village.

Here we are at Joe's Pizza where we sample the delicious pizza and hear all about Joe, his business and pizza in general.

I had the best Meat Ball in my life here!

Wonderful Day!

NYC Day 1

If you have been following my posts you will know that I am with my Granddaughter in NYC. 

 It is a special trip to celebrate her 21st Birthday.

After our breakfast at Juniors we walked along Fifth Ave (where we drank the yummy hot chocolate) and the rest of the day was literally a Walk In The Park!

Central Park

Our destination was the Central Park Zoo where we saw amazing things….like Sea Lions throwing a Frisbee for his lunch.  And penguins being hand fed fish.

And the Childrens Petting Zoo where the Goats fell in love with me!!

I think the food I gave them had something to do with it.

The evening was a trip to the theatre to see Matilda.

It was very entertaining and well done.

A perfect Day.

Birthday Trip Day 1

 The next morning  we had breakfast at Juniors.

A fun extravagance.

Then we walked around.

It was cold and I bought Amber a knit scarf to keep her warm.

The shop girl is dipping strawberries into the chocolate.

We stopped at the Godiva Chocolate Shop.

And had the best Hot Chocolat I ever had in my life!

Do you know where I am??

A Birthday Trip

At the New Orleans Airport waiting to board the plane.

For my Granddaughters 21st Birthday, I took her on a special Birthday Trip.

Just the two of us.

It was a beautiful sunny day and perfect flying weather.

I am still in awe when we fly above the clouds.  

Where are we going?
