GLEE!

Shannon joined us for the Glee show at Radio City Music Hall.

While waiting in line, Glee star Jane Lynch walked by the crowd.

She did a great job on the live show.

Cheerleaders passed out barf bags to the audience...

Courtesy Sue Sylvester, who was convinced that the show would be bad.
Till tomorrow,
Love, Maia

Zoey & The Crosby Hotel

Brooklyn took a walk and made Zoey's acquaintance around Bowery and Houston.

Zoey is a Pom like Dolce.

Zoey goes everywhere with her owner and is happy to go in the crate.

Then we went to the new Crosby Street hotel on Crosby, for lunch.

The furnishings are clean and contemporary.

One of the many SoHo boutique hotels.
Till tomorrow,
Love, Maia

Mrs. Goodson Goes to Scotland

Mrs. Goodson flew to Scotland to visit Miss Emma.

She saw statues of soldiers...

...and dogs.

She recorded its scenery.

Its shops.

And its people.
Come back to SoHo, we miss you, Brooke!

A Walk in the Park

It was time to take a walk around the neighborhood.

We wandered to the Liz Christy Garderns. This was the First Community Garden in New York City founded in 1973; it is located on the northeast corner of Bowery and Houston Streets in Manhattan.

During the 17th Century, this site was then the corner of Bouwerie and North Street, the southern tip of a large farm owned by Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch Governor of New Amsterdam. In the centuries following, this bouwerie (which is Dutch for farm) changed radically. It was in complete decline in the 1970's when many buildings were abandoned and torn down.

In 1973 a local resident named Liz Christy and a group of gardening activists known as the Green Guerillas were planting window boxes, vacant lots with ‘seed bombs’ and tree pits in the area. They saw the large rubble-strewn lot as a potential garden and in December went to the City to find a way to gain official use of the land. Volunteers hauled the garbage and rubble out, spread donated topsoil, installed a fence and began planting.

Done with our walk, we had a snack at Gemma up the street.

Dolce Makes Friends at the Bowery Hotel Lounge

Dolce was bored.

She wanted to see her old pal, Mario, at the Bowery Hotel lounge.

John-Michael (right) looked at pretty Dolce and said, "She's a little Jon-Benet."

Then Jamie came over to say hello, and Dolce's night was complete.

Maia Gets Stuck

Every now and then, Maia gets stuck in her bandana.

So India gets her un-stuck.

How she gets stuck, no one knows.

But Brooklie thinks it's interesting....
