Enjoying the beautiful city!

Today we woke up this morning and decided to go to Chinatown and do a little shopping on Maiden Lane.  Have you ever been to Maiden Lane? Talk about perfect weather in the city!  Sunny, breezy, not too hot, not too cold.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this four story fabric store!  It's a sewers dream!  Beautiful fabrics imported from all over the world, notions of every imaginable kind....ribbons, braid, buttons, you name it, they have it!  Could have stayed all day in that store.

Summer eats!

What's on your kitchen table this summer?

Apricots and Tapioca pudding

Home grown apricots from Dad and Mom's tree!  Home made tapioca pudding, made from Almond milk!  It is way delish, and you can hardly tell it wasn't made with cows milk!

summer lunch
