back from vacation

Oh and we saw some celebrities while we were there. We saw Martina Navratilova walking down the street and if that weren't enough she also went to Kate Clinton's comedy show and sat across the aisle from us. We were all cool though and didn't intrude into her space.
I also saw the actress who played Dawn Wiener in the extremely disturbing movie Welcome to the Doll House directed by Todd Solondz(sp?) I believe she was on board Rosie O'Donnell's family cruise ship that was docked for the day in the bay. Anyway here are a couple of pictures of our trip.

a catch up post
So this what has happened since the last post. I will run down the list:
- I found out I will be a grand Uncle in January.
- Niece Stacey came for a visit before starting her freshman year of College
- Ned has started a new job locally, luckily, we were afraid we would have to relocate.
-Gaby and I went to see the Ritz in NY, which was big fun.
-the Pocono house was a great respite area for us during the hot Summer and we are looking forward to the fall and winter with friends and family by the fire.

a star interaction

Unfortunately I was a little nervous and didn't quite know to say to Mr. Granger. A few days before the event there was a newspaper interview with him. In the interview he said he partially left Hollywood for New york because he wasn't comfortable with the spotlight and limelight of being a star so I didn't want to overdo it. There were two chairs set up next to him and I hesitated to sit down as he was signing my copy of his autobiography and after I said what a pleasure it was to meet him someone (who had an oxygen tank) sat down not in the chair right next to him but in the second seat thus blocking my path next to him ( i didn't want to knock anything over or injure the fan with the Oxygen) so that ended our interaction. His Partner and co author Robert Calhoun was there as well. so anyway that was that. The rest of the evening was lovely and we had a great time at the party and the movie. I have included a picture of me sort of meeting Farley and one of the group at the party and then a decal i found in a shop in Provincetown over the week of Farley at the height of his Hollywood days.
By the way the book was a great read it was just amazing to read about parties where these icons of screen and stage attended and some of the back story to them. Of course I am a little starstruck anyway. 

Vacation

We just returned from a great week in Provincetown. We had a great time as we walked through commercial street (several times), shopped, ate and had some drinks, saw a show, got massages and overall had a very relaxing time. There was talk of a tattoo or two but in the end no new tattoos were had. There was a John Waters sighting which was in sync with Hairspray! the movie musical which was playing and we saw while we were there. We rented a little house for the two of us but had the joy of our friends right upstairs. and you know what, People are just friendlier in Provincetown. Here is a picture of the tanned crew.

Landscaping

So the house in the Poconos finally has some landscaping and it looks great. Unfortunately Landscaping is a very expensive home improvement. Living mostly in homes that didn't have a lot of land around it I had no idea of the expense even for basic things. But you know what, it looks terrrific and our job now is to maintain it. I hope it becomes not a chore but a hobby that one or both of us glam on to.

Here are a couple more the next day when the landscapers were truly finished.
