My dear we have something every hour!!! I actually snagged a few hours yesterday to sit in a wonderful little button or mushroom shaped chair with my feet up on the window sill looking out at sea and reading! Otherwise…. Pretend this is a movie! Days go by with white chocolate and pistachio pancakes with vanilla sauce. Talks on the sky scrapers of New York (Empire State building built especially to be the tallest building in the world by Al Smith (ran for president) and DuPont. Was indeed tallest for a long time.. In 1908 tallest building was 612 feet high. Empire passed the Chrysler building that was 1046 feet in 1930. Chrysler is actually more interesting look as it is Art Deco with gargoyles, tires, and wheels on it and the hood ornaments of 1929 Chrysler!!! Picasso, Matisse, Expressionism and Fauvism influenced Chrysler. Empire State building went up to be a rental and almost went bust until the movies showed it in the background… of course remember An Affair to remember and Sleepless in Seattle!!!! Ahhhhhh.) Planatarium shows where we watch the progression of the creation of the universe and galaxies and stars blow up and planets formed. Afternoon concerts from Puccini to the Beatles on Oboe, violin, guitar. AHHHHHHHH! Pool bouncing most every day. We’ve made friends with many people, but my special pool friend is Margaret. She does not mind the somewhat chilly atmosphere on the pool deck (she is from Scotland and has the most beautiful Scottish brogue!). Daily Mass to which I must go now.. Champagne, tuxedos, celebrations and today the talk will be on the World Trade Centers. Think sunshine for tomorrow (Halifax Nova Scotia (New Canada)… Swim today no matter what Mother nature says – she has been blustery and chilly with rain in the north atlantic where we ply the waters. God bless you dear readers.
