Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow, But...

...it's great to be home! Hello there everyone! I certainly did not intend to be away from blogging quite this long but what can I say except to say, time flies when your having fun!

New York was beautiful and we truly enjoyed our week there. I was a little sad to see it come to a close, but it was nice to come home as well.

We timed things just right as the leaves and fall foliage were in full bloom! Brilliant colors of yellow, gold, rust and red were every where!

I will soon be making my rounds and getting caught up visiting every ones blogs.


Me on vacation with eight million of my friends! It's what I love best about New York, the people.


Hubby being checked out at a deli by a very friendly cashier.


One of the first people to greet us in Times Square! Lucky for us the "Free Hugs" campaign was in process and we both got free hugs! http://www.freehugscampaign.org/


Beautiful church located in the quaint little town of West Point, NY. Right across the street was the West Point Military Academy.



Three brothers from Brooklyn, New York who happen to be visiting West Point also. They looked like mafia guys but they were some of the friendliest people we've ever met. It was kind of funny hearing their thick Brooklyn accent and our very southern drawl. Their wives were across the street shopping. They actually out talked my husband and that's pretty unusual!

Just a glimpse of the lovely fall foliage on our bus tour.


This picture proves I'm not really a hat person. But it was very cold and I needed not just one but two of them! Taken on a cold and rainy cruise up the Hudson River.

Blessings everyone, peace and all that is good!
