Dee Dee sent us a care package of wheat grass seeds, since she knows my vices! This summer, while Maggie was out, padding around the city, I was holding down the fort and watching the grass grow. This is how fast it grows over the span of 4 days in our sunny apartment window.
In June, Maggie traveled to SF to do a craft fair with Dee Dee and Susie to sell their Hello Sisters designs: http://www.etsy.com/shop/hellosisters
Chalk art the kids from our apartment building did during their lazy summer days.
Maggie loved coming back to that!
However, there were no lazy days of summer for Maggie. Work, work, work. Her buddy Sweeney gave her a custom-made count-down to 6/2011 calendar (Monkey is standing on it, peeping the view from her 34th Street office window).
Summer wasn't all work - Maggie had her fun seeing some shows - The Aggrolites, The Old 97s, Rhett Miller solo shows, Tim Finn, Eilen Jewel, Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women, and Brooklyn faves, The Slackers!
She also joined a few drawing groups - one that meets in Central Park and a figure drawing group on the Lower East Side. Susie was in town for that session. Felt like old times!
July simply requires a trip to the beach. Maggie checked out Rockaway. Rockaway Tacos was worth the trip alone.
Mmm, fish tacos. Groovy that they grow tomatoes on the roof.
But who needs to trek to the beach when Central Park is steps away? Here's her friend Cedric finding some shade on a hot August day in the Conservatory of Flowers.
Now that Fall is officially here, so is the new season of TV. We welcome 30ROCK back into our lives, pull on a sweater, curl up on the couch and toast our first full year in NYC!
TTFN, Patty
