Did you see how this woman flipped a red seat in Alabama cruising to victory with a 25 point lead?
🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢
This happened Tuesday and more is to come.
🎉👏🎊🍻🙌🎊🎉🥳👏🎊🙌🍾🍻🎊👏🎉
As Joe has said repeatedly never underestimate women.
🌎🌍🌏🌍🌎🌎🌏
What shall we do next?
Stay tuned…We’ll change the world for the better.
As I sit in front of the fireplace wrapped in an afghan I ponder what should I write ✍️ of after reading and hearing from the pundits of the day?
There is such a wealth of craziness out there.
The world is getting crazier by the minute. Could this all be a bad dream 😴 and we will wake soon?
It has to be as why would anyone, especially women, vote for a rapist?
And why would people want someone in power who has told us he will destroy all we have, and have fought for, and worked so hard to achieve?
Perhaps the biggest question is why hasn’t someone killed him? This is the unspoken question which ruminates in all us sane people’s minds.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I think I have the answer. We’re hoping, that is the sane ones, that the McDonald’s and KFC meals will give him the big one.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Caveat: Don’t call the FBI on me.
Had a lovely bus ride on the Coachline from New York to Monticello. What a spectacular day, and visit to the Big 🍎.
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
Returned to the cabin finding most of my electrical work completed, however, more is required to keep the place code compliant and safe.
Seems like I’ve underestimated all which needs to be accomplished.
😩😩😫😫
Made calls to the carpenter, blow in insulation man, well driller, plumber, and building inspector. WHEW! At least I’m getting call backs. Just hope my pocketbook can keep up!
💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Look forward to seeing what the well man has to say as all is contingent on this.
?Maybe there is a book 📚 in all this or better yet a movie?
Have to write ✍️ Reese Witherspoon.
Started my day by picking up food to take home. 86th St. Brooklyn has a wealth of wonderful Chinese restaurants and baked goods. I bought a rolling bag to bring home the goodies.
Here’s some places to check out, plus the 86th street bakery near 20th ave cross street, and the $10 pizza 🍕 place across from TD Bank. Enjoy.. You’ll be hunting for a scrolling bag, too.
Hint: They are at every store on 86th.
Next was time for a haircut..
While in the chair received a text that the buyer for the fl. condo backed out. Oh well..
But next call came from Rob, my cabin electrician, saying I have heated floors with propane, and a new propane hot water heater so guess that’s positive.
My next cabin lesson is in propane?.
💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
Post haircut boarded the D train and on to the best Cuban sandwich in the world 🌎 on 46th street in Manhattan, Margone. Been around over 50 years. For $20 got a Cuban, a beer, and still had some $ toward a tip.
On to Central Park after this feast to walk off the calories..
And the finale, the Alicia Keyes play,
Hell’s Kitchen.
While still in previews think they have it down. It is the story of a single mom raising her teenage daughter in the NYC projects. The music, dance, and story line is a phenomenal experience.
Hats off to Alicia Keys, our native New Yorker, who brought this to light.
She certainly has a winner on her hands and possibly a Tony!
XxxxxxxxxxxxxX
And this ends my Spring 2024 NYC Venture.
Hope you’ve enjoyed it vicariously with me.
Daffodils of Central Park.
Started my day early as I was unsure of how to locate the Players Theater on Mac Dougal Street in the Washington Square area. After several navigation errors ended up early in the vicinity.
Had time to check out the nearby park.
After my treat seeing the Park was off to the play. Quite an interesting marquise and box office..
Sat in front of Ella, the birthday girl, and 4 of her friends who loudly proclaimed when I sat,”Mom, an adult is blocking our view!” I moved but was returned to my aisle but another seat to accommodate the birthday girl. Ha! Ha! Guess I’m getting my indoctrination into grandmother hood.
Happy Ending
Next Venture
Walked from 15th to 42nd St on this glorious spring NYC day. Found another bountiful park on the way with magnolia trees.
Then stopped for an hour long foot massage.
And on to the show..
Five, at the 555 West 42nd Theater, was a parody on the 3 wives and 2 other gals (Stormy and Ivana),in the rapist prez’s life. There also was a special appearance by Hillary.
The dancing and singing 🎵 was amazing but sadly the show will be closing 4/20. What a phenomenal ensemble cast, and only $43. for the seat..
The final destination for the day was Theater XIV, Queen of Hearts, a burlesque show.

What a way to end a perfect day!
Have to get tickets for my daughter and son in law.

Kissed the “kids” goodbye as they headed north to catch the eclipse in the Central New York region. After that began my day heading for Times Square. Arrived early for my first event so took in several sites of the area.
From here it was off to the play which was,
Enjoyed the performance but only attended as wanted to see Corey Stoll, as I have adored his work in Billions, and House of Cards. The story line was about a dysfunctional family who are brought together after the demise of their last remaining parent. Was 2 1/2 hours long with reasonable tickets, but doubtful it will last long on Broadway, and my recommendation is to skip it.
Next to the car 🚗 show..
Really enjoyed this, and it can only be expressed visually. Following are some pics, and probably too many unless you are a car enthusiast. No longer do scantily clad sexy gals lay on the cars, so that was promising.
🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
There was much emphasis on EVs and you know my lament with those creatures. And several recruiters were present at the show from NYS Corrections/State. Police, NYPD, as well as the Fire Department, and even the Marines. The numbers applying are dropping dramatically for these positions. We need immigrants to fill jobs..
The pictures
From 35th and 11th Ave walked 2 miles to my next event, the 9pm performance of Titanique which was a recommendation of my son in law.
Since I have never seen Titanic, yes I am the only one in the world, I didn’t get much from this parody, however, the cast was stellar. It was a hilarious romp which caused most of the millennials and generation X present in the audience to howl with laughter. Have noted more and more of the 20 to 40 age range taking in theater, and believe this a good sign.
XoxoxoXoxoxo
Want to close with this lovely cherry blossom pic from Union Square this evening.
See you tomorrow..
Attended Suffs, the story of the suffragette movement co-produced by Hillary Clinton. It was a packed house at Music Box Theater and a riveting 2 1/2 hour performance of phenomenal acting and 🎵 singing. The play has been extended if you are in the area.
Got my tickets through the Today Tix AP for the bargain price of $77. No compensation received, but check it out as it has fair pricing, and even discloses fees that are included in the ticket price.
We were in the last row balcony and the view. — shall we say priceless.🌸
Saw Hillary on Fallon promoting the show and she brought him a 👒 as the suffragettes were known for them. Thought this was an audience thing so made 2 for my daughter and I to wear. Well, we were the only ones in the theater wearing hats but she was a sport and wore it through the show. 😍
She knows what a crazy mother she has!
🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵🪵
Learned much of the movement’s history from the play. Didn’t realize how much President Woodrow Wilson blocked the women’s movement. He even had the suffragettes jailed.
🖤🖤🖤🖤
It also told of the differences in the movement between the conservative and radical gals as well as how black women were de marginalized. An honest portrayal.

But back to Woody, interesting fact,,, he acquired the Spanish Flu and was incapacitated the last year(s) of his presidency. He had a stroke as well as other sequelae. His wife, Edith, refused to have anyone see him. She ran the country, and when World 🌎 War I, ended they contacted her first to report this 🆕 news.
“Never underestimate the power of a woman.”
Thanks to all those women who devoted their lives to this movement.
Let’s honor their memories, and not vote for a rapist who bars female health care.
to Brooklyn to see my daughter and enjoy several plays. Started the day at 415 waking for the 605 bus to NYC. I noted it was snowing 🌨️ gently as I refilled the kerosene heater on the porch. Can’t fill the heater inside in case of spill as the smell 👃 strong.
Cabin 101 lesson.
This and several other things were shared by my electrician, Rob, who loaned me the item. He will arrive Monday for the cabin’s electrical overhaul, and the carpenter is beginning closet construction today, with new windows due in 3 weeks!
We’re moving along.
The stars ⭐️ are in alignment.
I’ve named the cabin Yeratel for the guardian angel of my birth day.
Fun fact: We all have guardian angels according to our birth day. Find your angel.
Back to the trip..
Took the Coach USA line out of Monticello Short Line Station 🚉 with a chipper driver. Don’t you just love friendly morning people! Well, I do. 🌞
🌞☀️🌞☀️🌞☀️☀️🌞☀️☀️☀️☀️🌞
The ride was a quick 2 hours for only $60 round trip, senior rate. Got to see several small towns during the drive, and grateful to leave the drive to someone else
Next adventure- evening performance of Suffs, the play co-produced by Hillary Clinton about the suffragette movement.
A mother daughter event.
Stay tuned.
👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Last night heard much noise around the cabin. Since I couldn’t see out the windows decided to lock the doors and hunker down. I quickly fell back to sleep 💤 .
And look what I found as I opened the bedroom drapes.
So excited I walked around the cabin for more pictures. Enjoy..
And guess I had some visitors.
Good day to sit by the fire.
and do a little sewing with a cup of tea,
and read a good book..
Enjoy your day as I will as well.
One more picture…

…and boy am I glad!
Heard from the realtor on Sunday that I had an offer on the condo. While it was $43,000. less* than my initial price I was grateful. The contract seemed aboveboard but waited till Tuesday to sign just in case.
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Since my cabin had no internet access went to the friendly local library to complete the contract. The angst of fl life is over with an April 30th closing, my late father’s birthday.
Thanks, dad.
👨👧👨👧👨👧👨👧👨👧👨👧👨👧
Found a great Italian bakery across the street from the library, and celebrated with a purchase of Italian baked goods.
I know most would have gotten stinking drunk, but I much prefer tiramisu.
🥐🥮🥮🥐🥮🥐🥮🥐🥮🥮🥐🥮🥮🥮🥐
Later the electrician who will be doing the cabin’s overhaul appeared to pick up the down payment for the job. Noting the cabin chill he appeared an hour later with a kerosene heater!
What a jewel 💎 of guy, and the bonus is he’s a democrat!!
He is one of those older men that are going to carry Biden over the top as Joe Scarborough states.
After this the cable guy appeared, and while a bit of a curmudgeon I have internet access.
Things are moving along.

The rest of the day was spent trying to figure out how to use a drill to put up curtains, of which I was unsuccessful. Why did I ever have to take home economics in high school? What a waste!
Luckily, the previous owner left the rod hardware in place so bought cheapie rods and now have drapes covering the windows with a warmer night to come.
💡💡💡💡
Also did much retail damage with Amazon. Isn’t Amazon wonderful? Today I bought everything from lamps to lampshades to reclining chairs, and all we be here in a week!
A shout out to Bezo, always a fan but remember who is #1.

*Did you see the rapist prez truth social stock tumbled? I guess we both lost big this week, only difference..
I’m not taking the same path as tr..
As in typical trumpian fashion what does he do?
he sues.
Then the next news.. who posted the $175. million? An 80 year old guy who made his $7 billion fortune in the repossession trade. Maybe he can repo the rapist prez?
After all the $175 million is pocket change considering how he probably scored when tr changed the tax laws for millionaires. Payback is a bitch and am sure tr called in his cards on this one with the Hankey-panky guy. Wonder what Hankey will repo from the rapist when he looses?
The bet is on Eric..
