This past Sunday I made my way to Macys to do a bit of shopping. What a mob scene! Solo shoppers. Families with small children running everywhere. Strollers banging into my heels from all sides. And can we talk about the endless tourists pushing and shoving their way through the crowds?

But not one person at the registers. Seriously I did not wait on a line once during the entire trip. I actually had my choice of cashiers. When I jokingly asked a group of employees gossiping at one particular check out if Macys was now a museum they burst into gales of laughter.

Hopefully some coin of the realm will be rattling round in the tills some time soon.

And how is your holiday shopping going?

My completed forms, with all necessary documentation clipped to them, are in clearly addressed envelopes.
And yes, I did remember to sign them.
They were not sealed with a kiss – more of a hiss
The powers that be got their fair share from me.

And with that being posted let’s move on to some pics.

As you know Sunday I was down on the Bowery brunching with the ladies.

Lower Manhattan is a non-stop photo opp for this blogger.

Here’s a few favs:

A different version of this photo was my Momentile for the day. I love how the painted tracks lead up to the mural.

This old toy tractor reminded me of the fire truck my brother Joey got when he was five. No plastic crapola. I love the little big tires.

I would love to know the story behind this sculture in a community garden.

Can’t you just see elves and leprechauns sitting on these little stumps?

Okay, time to get on to the next project.

Till Later.
