ReplyDeleteYou caught a quiet moment. So it looks. :-)
ReplyDeleteI grew up in the suburbs of NYC - I have a lot of fond memories of Manhattan from the 1970's through the late 80's. have only been there on a few occasions since moving away, but it will always be my home city, even though I'm a country girl.
