Six-Year-Old Violinist

Isn't this just the cutest thing you have ever seen? He was playing outside of the New York Public Library. That's his dad behind him. I wonder whose idea it was to showcase his skills on the sidewalks of New York. I'm guessing the dad wanted his kid to get some public performance practice. And, yes, of course, I gave him a dollar. He was good!

 


The First Leaf

Sitting in Bryant Park yesterday, a lone leaf landed on the table where my handbag was sitting. It was the exact same color as my handbag, and I thought that was neat. . . 


How to Decorate a Long Hallway, Part Three

I wanted to decorate my long hallway with photographs, but I didn't to spend a lot having them enlarged and printed. So, I did it myself using my plain ol' black and white printer. I just enlarged the photos on the computer and printed them in 8.5 by 11 inch segments. I used green painter's tape to add some color and a nice graphic element to the theme.


Eyebrow Threading in New York

Got my eyebrows threaded for the first time the other day. I had never heard of it in Cincinnati, but perhaps that's just because I wasn't looking. It seems like every beauty salon offers it here and not just for your eyebrows, but for your entire face!

I did my eyebrows, but she asked me twice if I wanted my upper lip done! Uh, no and no.
