Sunflowers....xoxoJaneoxox

Last time...really.

2010...all this time and I cannot get Aiden off my mind...xoxoxo

Beaten to death. I wish I could have saved him. And all the others. What about them? Who is listening? How could someone not know? How?

September, 2010, R.I.P.

Moving in Florida, oh my! xoxoJaneoxox

Renting. Short sale. Moving. Again. 1 year. Crap. Practice. Makes. Perfect. I've had a lot of practice...How long til perfect...I wonder.

This is what moving looks like. I will move this myself. Outside only 85 degrees and oh so humid...a breeze!

A view of the hallway...11 days and counting.... 
The kitchen counter. Hmmmm...11 days!

What used to be a studio. Isn't that big red metal table grand!!!???

The FLYING PIG...OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

This little piggy was in the sidewalk...now he wants to fly. Now you see it! Fly piggy, fly!

Say hi to the pig. I love this guy. He has been 'begging' to be in my 'book'...NOW YOU SEE IT! Well here he is but where is the book? Wouldn't that be fun? I must get on that...in the meantime, I'll be really really busy for the next few days...so maybe I'll take a break...and leave you with the piggy...

The Lipstick Building Reconfigured...Photoshop Fun

Fun with Photoshop! I love to spend time playing with this fantastic program. Of course, I need years of lessons and experience to really 'get it'. Not too likely...I plod on.

The ORIGINAL...I might have changed the 'sky' to brighten it up a bit...

I absolutely changed the sky!!! 
Changes all around...

A brand new eye on a black and white foreground...a new eye...


The End....

LITTLE INDIA...today I felt like I left NYC for a short while and entered another world...

I went with a friend, who is from India, to Little India. We had a wonderful lunch at Bhojan, a vegetarian restaurant and then went for a head massage...Apparently head massages in India are done by people who know what they are doing; not the case here. But I listened to a lot of Hindi-gab and saw my friend in her 'other' world. From there we went to a little grocery where the proprietor fed us figs and 'cookies'  and could not have been lovelier. His parting words were salaam alaikum. Peace be with you. I needed that. What a wonderful day! Oh...I love New York!!!

A RATING SYSTEM
xo=eh
xoxo=ok, just...ok
xoxoxo=really ok
xoxoxoxo=yes+I'd go back

A head massage...that was no massage. I'd love to find a place for a wonderful head massage...any suggestions?

Isn't this gorgeous! So many sweets, so little time. At the restaurant, we had gulag jamun for desert

All the world's food cultures are endlessly fascinating...and there are so many right here in NYC! Where to begin???

Obama and the traffic jams...by Jane

HAVE YOU SEEN HIM? No? How is that possible? He's been here fundraising more time than I've been here...and I LIVE here! 40 fund raisers. This number brought to you by the NY Post. I've been stuck outside in the cold unable to CROSS THE STREET to enter my building for 40 minutes waiting...for what? (The police, who must earn BIG OVERTIME, can be surly; of all the nerve...just answer my question. Look up when you talk to a civilian who, by the way, pays your salary. Not too many tourists at 2nd Avenue and 55th St. so know your audience. Don't know the answer? Apologize. Smile. Make a joke...) Cars don't move and people can't walk when the the above is in town. I've had it. I think I'll vote for...anyone else.  I am so so so disappointed...Spending four years raising money for the next four. Damn I hate politics and politicians. Just stay home O. Please.
Your former friend and former supporter,

PIO PIO on the westside...went for lunch...still full...

Came back from NJ and went to the westside for a walk and lunch at Pio Pio. Peruvian with a twist. The Picantito (the green drink...) was DELICIOUS! The Fried Cali (their word, not mine) was good. Hot dogs and french fries...their idea...not Peruvian. No kidding. Really good, if you like hot dogs and french fries...the seafood was very good.


Fried Cali...

Hot dogs and fries! Oh my aching tummy...I ate TOO much! Plus:Traditional Peruvian yellow corn stuffed with chic hen and peanuts served with salsa and Salsa Criolla
Pan fried Corvina, Scallops, Shrimp and Squid served with "Clasico Salsa Macho" a spicy seafood sauce and a side of yellow rice...yummy!!!

The entrance to Pio Pio with a very 'hot' or very confused guy, eating on the street....

The slow and lazy weekend....in the Garden State...

Walking down the sidewalk in W. Palm Beach, my brother and the Yertle turtle.(don't you just love Dr. Seuss? I'd like to rhyme my time  away! Oh well...have a great day!

Off to New Jersey for a lazy slow weekend. Off to a friend, for dinner and a good night's sleep and then out to the COUNTRY to visit another and to a home and garden tour extraordinaire...I will take a lot of pictures...or not. Have a lovely weekend....xoxoJaneoxoxo
