At the Frick Museum Pittsburgh

My friend Gail and I went to the French Moderns Show today. This portrait was in the show. Thanks J for the gift of a family membership to The Frick.
Friends Debbie and Sy invited us to come see the giant steam locomotive with their visiting family and then see fireworks later in the evening. We had a great time. We were at a fenced in playground so the kids were safe. And they brought chairs! Nice planning. We went across the Ohio River to their house for dinner and then headed to Avalon for fireworks! What a day.

You hear it before you see it.


Deb and Sy went to Euclid Ohio June 8th last week and saw the giant Big Boy engine stopped, with a crowd and here are a few of the pics they sent me





On the way home I pulled over for “Night Couch” bonus




Do you keep a sugar bowl?
A friend was coming for coffee today and she enjoys a bit of sweetness in her coffee.I was filling my old Fostoria sugar bowl from my maternal grandmother as it doesn’t have a lid .
I drink my coffee black these days and although I love coffee ice cream I don’t add sugar to my hot coffee.


Thanks for a happy Fourth of July celebration Debbie and Sy.





Wednesday morning we were at the Kamin Science Center on the North Shore. Shanti saw the grasshoppers in the terrarium and said “he’s getting a piggy back ride.”

Shanti and I had a great day at the Children’s Museum on the Northside.

I know these two couches had some adventures to tell. Shanti and I were headed to the Groceria in Bloomfield neighborhood to pick up a couple of meatball subs/hoagies/sandwiches for some friends. Oh my. I pulled over to the curb. Put the flashers on
We both got out of the car. She was as excited as I was to see TWO abandoned couches in front of the apartment building.
You do know I don’t go looking for these things, right? But there they were
