while in NY for business, i got a chance to stay until saturday at my sister/brother in-laws house in chatham, nj.
you can’t beat new jersey in the fall. you know, now that i think about it – new jersey and detroit are very similar. yes, one is a state and one is a city but they both have totally skewed perceptions about them. you’d think (from the media) that the minute you step in new jersey a mad housewife is going to come yelling at you or a snookie is going to bump into you at the grocery store. but new jersey is gorgeous.
detroit – same thing. while some of it true – it is still the murder capital of the country and all – no one ever mentions how fantastic the neighboring towns are.
anyway, fodder for a future post. i was thinking it, so i wrote it.
susan and i went to the beautiful new york botanical gardens in the bronx (hello…the bronx y’all!) last week we stole away for a few hours and walked the grounds where there was a monet exhibit and had a wonderful lunch. we also rode a tram (freezing cold!!) around the entire grounds. who knew it was started in the 1800’s? not i.
this picture above was not made in the future. yes, it is only october, 2012 not 2013 but i can’t change it or don’t have time to – so please ignore. thanks mom for letting me know!
Love this!!! We had fun. Love you!
Had a blast! Love you too!
