My week in Jersey is nearly over...it has been one of a lot of work to get my daughter comfortable in her new place in NY. I was not expecting to stay over to help her...i thought i was in for a day and then back out of there, but stay over i did...with no notice...no toothbrush...change of clothes...meds... sigh.......
AND having to drive her car out of there to find my way back to the wilds of NW Jersey! Bear in mind that driving in what to me is “the city” is terrifying to me...even tho i kept being told i was not in “the city”, just in Mount Vernon!! Could have fooled me!!!
i thankfully learned how to use google maps on my phone since of course my GPS was in MY car in NJ...and out of desperation not to be driving in circles in Mount Vernon i had to buck up and figure that out on my new phone! (have switched from iPhone to Galaxy S7 because i was tempted sorely but the HUGE carrot on a stick of the camera that shoots manual and RAW in it!! Once again i find myself on the cutting edge of technology......me...the most techno-impaired woman on the planet other than MY mother!
Took a class today to hopefully help me catch on faster. it was extremely funny, actually....as i was with 3 men who were even older than me, and twice as rowdy! Proud to say i was only second in line for the red timeout chair!!! The 74 year old man beat me out for first place!!! (it involved following specific directions!!! LOL!! Surprised???? yeah.....didn’t think so!!)
Hope you all have a fabulous Friday...i will be packing my car to head home Saturday morning. My cat misses me!! So does the ocean and the warm sunshine! ;)

There was a technical glitch from our Internet provider and the entire household (perhaps the city) was disconnected from the WEB. I just realized how much time I spent on Facebook spying on my friends. It seems that I'm at a lost without snooping on people's status update. I need to know what they are doing. Where they are. What they bought. Who they Like. Where they went. I'm utterly dependent on their existence. Sad, but true.
An Artist friend (see link below) lectured me that the way a picture should be looked at when visiting a museum is to walk up to it spend two hours contemplating it then walk out without looking at anything else.
His advise is quite impractical but keeping with his somewhat pompous attitude to everything.
Yet, looking at this picture at leisure, so much is revealed or implied that I was not aware in the seconds that passed recording it.

I'm in flickr timeout as I prepare for my hubby's return from Iraq.
(This is a photo of my daughter's FAVORITE "lovey," named "Fluffles.") He goes everywhere with her.
After the Christmas holidays, a hockey net remains on a local pond partially embedded in the frozen ice, waiting for the next game to begin.
Thanks for viewing and have a wonderful day!

Taken on a side street during the Sanja Matsuri (festival) in Asakusa, Tokyo.
A young girl put in her ear buds and started playing with her Nintendo DS, offering an interesting contrast between new and old Japan.
The Sanja Matsuri is one of Tokyo’s three main annual festivals. It is held to honor Hinokuma Hamanari, Hinokuma Takenari and Hajino Nakatomo- three fisherman who supposedly found an image of the Buddhist goddess of mercy, Kannon in the Sumida River back in 628. They had the statue enshrined in Tokyo’s oldest temple, Sensō-ji and from the 7th century, a festival to honor the three men became an annual event. The festival is held on the third weekend of May and features parades of three mikoshi (portable shrines) through the narrow and jam packed streets of Asakusa. Every year, an estimated 1.5 to 2 million people attend the festival.
