Where are my Rockaway Beach girls? What did we call this type of sneaker growing up and what was the name of the company who made them? HELP!! It's driving me crazy that I can't remember.

You can't tell me that the person who designed this didn't realize what it looked like.

I love my new bathroom faucet. It's so pretty.

Living room walls before the bead board.

Making progress

All the beadboard is up. Tomorrow it gets painted and then it's finished.

This is why I don't do the outdoorsy thing. I was talking to my neighbor out side my door for two minutes and I now have three welts. One on my leg, one on my arm and one on the web between my left thumb and pointer. Damn mosquitoes. I put cortisone cream on them and took benadryl and prednisone. I want to scratch them so bad.

The Living room is now done. All I have to do is hang the pictures back up.

Cheryl Dean I have this hanging in my kitchen. You nailed it !

A throwback Thursday pic on a Friday because I forgot yesterday. Riss Booth check out Ray.

Joseph J Rabito- old, old, old map of Maspeth

Here he is my grandson Jackson, the future NYC Police Commissioner doing a ride-along with a member of the SWAT Team.

Riss Booth- this would be perfect for my tattoo. I would just have them change it to green eyes for both and instead of a heart a conch shell and their names underneath them. What do you think?

Yes that's right. $2.66/gal!

At 6 o'clock it was still 66 degrees. It's warming up again! :-)

It's a beach day but also a nice day.for a long drive.

I think this is great! Too many parents let their kids run wild and it annoys everyone but them. They have to teach their how to behave when they're in public or remove them from the store when they act up.

My next tattoo for my grandchildren with a few minor changes.

My two favorite kids.

Brrrr....... Have to wear shoes and socks today. :(

I think from now on when people ask me what political party I belong to I'm going to say :

I give thanks this Thanksgiving to all of my family and friends for their love, support, help and kindness. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Riss Booth - A very Happy Thanksgiving to your family. I'm thankful for your parents for taking such good care of my rugrats.

I love daisies! They're such a happy flower.

This year's Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. I missed the tree lighting ceremony tonight but I found this picture online. Christmas in NYC is enchanting and magical.

Dear Santa, I've been a very, very, very good girl this year and I really, really, really need, want and have to have this fireplace please and thank you.

Your picture is on Google.maps

Regina DeNardo Leflar I thought of you today when I saw this and they had lots more at the Pottery. Different sizes, colors and materials. You can do that Christmas tree project inside one of those.

Another little bit of Christmas in the house.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Santa Baby and me!
