As a nice start to
your week, here are some fun pictures.
On a recent visit to the 79th Street Boat Basin Café (trying to squeeze in just one more ounce of summer) we noticed that many of the benches in Riverside Park had plaques indicating that the bench had been donated in honor or memory of someone. When we got home we looked into this and found that dedications are placed for donations of $3,500. That got us to thinking, are there benches for grabs at the New York Botanical Gardens? Well, there are, but they cost from $15,000 to $25,000! Here are two we found next to each other, with a close-up of each so you can see who these fellow garden lovers are. I imagine for them these amounts are just small change.
We took a little time to visit the New York Botanical Gardens last week. Although it is only September, they appear to be in serious Halloween mode. Here are a few items from their whimsical exhibit.
I had some fun time with Julia yesterday while Joshua and Barry went to a Patriots Game and Ella was out picking apples with a group from the synagogue. Julia is not even 2½ but is already a big help in the kitchen. With her infectious smile and her adorable chattiness she is joyful company for an afternoon!
Have a great week.
Love,
Rebecca
