"When so I ponder, here apart, what shallow boons suffice my heart, what dust-bound trivia capture me,
I marvel at my normalcy."--Dorothy Parker

summer in the city


We have been blessed in the last few years to have excellent, I mean really wonderful, neighbors. We all moved in as child-free couples, and over the past six years have added a dozen children to our building family, meaning that our boundaries are starting to spread to Connecticut and beyond. So, between our summer trips we were looking to get in lots of neighbor time, hoping to make the most of proximity while we have it.


Tracy arranged for music classes in the playroom. Sara suggested a walk down Park Avenue to check out the public art installation of Niki de Saint Phalle's sculptures.


I may have suggested a stop at Dylan's Candy Bar.


During all that screaming good fun, I tried not to think about the changes that are coming. I love these ladies and their babies.

the best pic is the one of all the kids pigging out of the same bowl, and poor left-out little Towns sitting there looking at you in desperation.
