I have come to the conclusion that New York may in fact have stranger weather than Minnesota. First is a day of mist, followed by a downpour that night, with some nice thunder. The next day is warm bordering on hot with not a cloud in the sky, the day after sunny and nice. That night is a sudden storm with a beautiful light show, the rain ( Read more... )

Today my phone decided it didn't want to work any more. Oh, it would tell me I had messages, but could I view them? No. In fact, I could not do anything.

Well, I didn't get it. So earlier this week, I called ( Read more... )

As has been mentioned, I have been knitting socks for Miss Death. Well, the toes of the first sock are complete and are very comfy. I don't say this lightly either. I am very particular about things that go on my feet, or anywhere for that matter. These socks though are very soft and ever so comfy. It's due I think to all the alpacas the put in ( Read more... )

Again that shuffling sound is heard, though this time, with the slight pitter pat. A drizzle has started, but like the wind it is short lived, barely ( Read more... )

Kingston Avenue. Main street of the Jewish quarter, you could not find a busier street if you tried. Not in this part of New York. Week long the sidewalks are crowded with people; bochrim rushing to yishiva, men to kollel, women with carriages out for a bit of sun, doing the shopping, and everyone shcmoozimg. The street is packed with cars, the ( Read more... )
