PHOTO DIARY SEPTEMBER 2018: ROAD TRIPS





Photo Diary | Ms. Toody Goo Shoes





September is the perfect time for a road trip......or three.
The weather is usually beautiful;
and the crowds of summer are gone. 

Our September road trips took us north, south, and east........
one to Long Island's North Fork..........
another to the Catskill Mountains in NY state,
and a third to Asbury Park, NJ.

Aside from that, I split my time between my backyard and New York City. 

Live life........That's my motto. 



Kicked off the month celebrating my birthday!

Portion control: mini ice cream cone. Then again, if you have one every day..........




Road trip #2: 70-mile drive to Resorts World Casino in the Catskill Mountains. Came back the same day........with $25 more in our wallets than when we got there.

Both sides of the new Tappan Zee Bridge are finally open after a scare that the old bridge could topple onto the new one. Yikes.

My face got a workout at Saks Fifth Avenue's new Face Gym in NYC. Facial included a warm up, cardio, and muscle stimulation. That's me, post-workout, face looking buff.

Been hankering for a dress made out of 187 soup cans?  "One Of A Kind Luxury" exhibit featured 20 dresses made out of unusual objects by students of the School Of Visual Arts in NYC.

Any guesses about this one? What? I can't hear you!
It took 2528 foam earplugs to make this. I'd wear it, would you?

  1. I love these posts. Your hand drawn picture is perfect! That ice cream is crazy small but sometimes you have to indulge a little. Your mums look gorgeous! I decided not to get any this year because they don't do well on my front porch....not enough sun :-( Happy Fall!!

  2. I heard lord and Taylor wasn’t just downsizing, but closing :(. Say it isn’t so!

    I forgot about that song from Melanie. Was she a one hit wonder?

    I think I mentioned your fur baby looks like Charlie, my grand dog. Such a love! ❤️
