Girls, it was a perfect weekend!!!!!
After all we did Saturday and Sunday, the Holiday started off with an excursion to Chinatown, to honor Monsieur's friend, Herb, whose birthday just happens to be today. Same as Clint Eastwood. Only Herb doesn't take up with crackpots, like Eastwood does in "Play Misty For Me." We ended up at the most charming place on Pell Street that served the best Dim Sum. Again, where was B.D. Wong??? He should have popped out of a rice cake!!!!!!!!!
And, much as I did my best to welcome the Sailors, I guess they chose to go elsewhere; I can only wonder. But after Chinatown, we met up with Judy in the Village and hopped on the PATH over to Sinatra's hometown of Hoboken, NJ, which is the new home of Audrey and her charming daughter, Ruby.
Audrey's apartment is fabulous, and there is so much one can do with it. Her view of the street, which looks like something out of "Tales Of The City," is gorgeous, there are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops, the library is impressive, the parks are lovely....I just know they will be happy here. Monsieur and I were finally glad to get out and see Audrey's new digs. While we visited, Audrey's amazing father was putting up shades. I have SO much he could do at my place. But you can bet if MY father had been there, even at 96, he would have been right up on a ladder, beside Audrey's, working away. The resilience of this Depression era generation is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
With the sun sinking slowly in the East, we finished off with dining at an exquisite Thai restaurant. That ice tea was a bit much for me, but the Pan Thai was luscious. After a farewell to all in the park, we hopped back onto the PATH and whizzed into Christopher Street at the speed of light.
What a lovely wend to a lovely weekend. Or loverly, as Eliza Doolittle would say!!!!!!!
Hope all my girls had a loverly time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
