Because I Can't Keep Resolutions for Myself….

I’m making them for our apartment. Cuz its easier much needed. I personally think that the hard part is over.  Downsizing from 3000+ sqft to 400sqft (a generous estimation) was NOT easy.

Canal Street and a Long Lost Cousin

My 2nd cousin, Teresa, came down from her home upstate to visit the city. We haven’t seen each other in about 15 years (or so. we aren’t actually sure).  We met at Bryant Park which has a really awesome Christmas market and an ice skating rink.  It really wasn’t that crowded either.  The shops are…
