belated birthday wishes for you...Hello dear Frances<br />belated birthday wishes for your special day!!!<br />How could anyone ever forget the horror of 9/11/2001 - in New Zealand we hold a special memorial service each year on the day.<br /><br />What a lovely way to celebrate your day - a beautiful textile exhibition at the Met - a feast for the eyes, mind and soul! I can only dream of visiting the Met one day...<br />Finishing with an enjoyable lunch with your friend.<br /><br />It must be amazing to live and work in a city such as New York which, to me seems to have everything for lovers of culture.<br /><br />I've not been to NY but I'm always pleasantly surprised when I see a documentary, at the green spaces in the city - Central Park looks so lovely and I imagine you might walk in the park on occasions.<br /><br />Lovely to catch up with you Frances and thank you for popping in to see me and say hello!<br /><br />hugs<br />Shane <br /> Shane Pollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674612132049839026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-18812468115469230192013-10-01T17:24:10.445-07:002013-10-01T17:24:10.445-07:00Dear Frances, I am a new visitor to your blog and ...Dear Frances, I am a new visitor to your blog and have landed here in the usual accidental way, but I am so happy to see your posts of NYC. We live in CT now, but we did live in the city for several years, ending up in Brooklyn Heights while we worked in the trade center. Tower 2 was my building, although I had already "retired" to raise my children in 2001. It sounds like you had a wonderful birthday at the Met. I have been trying to find a date to see that exhibit and still hope to do so. Thank you for the pictures. I am looking forward to more posts about NYC and your life there.

The pastries and cappuccino with a friend sound like an enjoyable way to celebrate your birthday. Soon the leaves will turn in Central Park and you will be able to have some great autumnal walks.

How fortunate you were to have taken the museum photos just before the curfew; at least you have a reminder of these fabulous pieces.<br /><br />I love the roof art too, such an innovative way of giving a concrete space life and beauty.<br /><br />You are lucky to be where you are and you are doubly lucky to be the kind of person who appreciates where you are.<br /><br />I hope to see you soon.

Thank you for sharing your day. I'd very much like to have been able to see the exhibit. I don't know a lot about textiles, but whenever there is an exhibit I try to see it - textiles fascinate me.<br />Since you are still within your Birthday Week, I hope the days ahead hold a few more treats, that you encounter only kindness, and that most of all, you are kind to yourself!

Textiles are a favorite since I grew up among quilters and seamstresses who treasured beautiful fabrics. The photos were perfect. Amazing that you have a personal history with the Met! Just the other evening I "whined" to my husband that I have yet to visit New York City... Perhaps, perhaps and I will use your lovely blog as my guide.
