My sister shared this view from her West Village apartment window tonight 9/11. The moon and the memorial tribute beams of light. You’d have to be in NJ to see both streams.

Surprise Find by Granddaughter West Village NYC
It was Tuesday morning.
She was jumping up and down and made me close my eyes as she guided me out the front door of my sister’s apartment building. Close your eyes, close your eyes. She was breathless.
She was so excited.
I opened my eyes and there was a couch at the curb.
Abandoned furniture. A favorite for the collection.

If couches could talk……

On the way to the parking garage as I was leaving town, luggage in hand….I had to stop and take a photo.

My sister waited outside the Yarn shop while I popped inside. We were walking back from the parking garage by the River.
Mary had spotted the handsome dog above the entrance.
I bought a couple of skeins of Tuscan Gold DK weight yarn -50% silk 50% Merino wool by Rosie’s Colors in Brooklyn.

My sister made Raffetto’s Wild Mushroom Ravioli and Broccoli tonight. Parmesan cheese on top.
After we ate, we took a walk. No gelato tonight. We already had an Italian ice earlier in the afternoon
I had raspberry Italian ice from Rocco’s Pasticceria
It was such a lovely evening. Lots of people out to dinner and enjoying the summer night.

Last night my sister and I were walking around the neighborhood and window shopping at Naadam Ultra Thin on Bleecker Street. Cashmere and silk store. “Responsibly Sourced Sustainable Mongolian Cashmere Clothing” – The sign says soft, soft, soft world.
Can you find the two of us with the goat’s reflection? And the goat is not a taxidermy specimen but a large replica, like a giant stuffed toy.
