A Day in the woods....

As many of you know - Mark has been seer hunting this fall - its been a busy fall - we have been up to the cabin alot where he and my dad lease some land and hunt. He is ONLY BOW hunting - which takes time and patience. Well, in mid Sept - he shot one! Late in the day, close to dark and she darted!!! So the next morning, we got up really early to track her down. We had blood and everything 0 - just expecting to find she laid down someplace to die..... well, she was a tough one, because after 3 1/2 hours we did not find her....... me, mark, mom and dad all searched and followed the trail of blood - to no avail! A fun morning, just not with the ending we wer hoping for - sorry for Mark!

This is likely where i picked up this pesky Lyme Disease I am so blessed with now - still a fun day!!!! :)

NEW YORK CITY!!!!!!!!!

The top of the ROCK! Rockefeller Center - 70th (plus) floor! A great view of the city - and we got there at sunset! IT is just gorgeous and you really feel lke you can see forever!

Thanks, dear friends for a great time! I really feel blessed to have these 3 women in my life! :)

PS - those are some nice purses! :)

The coolest thing of course we saw was Ground Zero and the things related to there - the fire station next door and the tributes they have in a loval church - just really cool stuff. I am going to try to post the fire station wall pics, but it says - Dedicated to those who fell and to thoise who Carry On! Pretty cool tributes and reminder of how real that all still is today!!!!! The pic of the construction site struck us - still twisted metal and rubble they are clearing away! The one pic (if it saved on here) is of all the fire fighters that lost their lives that morning......pretty amazing.

PURSES PURSES PURSES!!! I think it is important to point out that only a small percentage of these are mine!!!! :) This is actaully just after day one - the pile got bigger!!! :) We all went crazy - running into old warehouses - following strangers into black hallways and locked doors - almost getting friends arrested - but just look at the rewards for a little GUTSY SHOPPING!!!!!! :) Bless New York! :)

Wall Street Walkers.... We had to go to WallStreet - since that is how I make my living! Amy and I had to get a picture to frame for our office - and for Dad! :) It too is amazing - just huge buildings, one on top of another.seemingly endless.......

The Ladies of Liberty! This was a favorite stop -

Took the ferry out to eh island and had a perfect sunny day to go on! We did not get out at Ellis Island, as we were all opposed to any kind of education on the trip - but we had a great time! :)

Legally BLONDE! One of my favorite movies - made into a Broadway show! We all loved it - has a blast! This was our first night in NYC. We saw Joely Fischer (Til Death, Ellen) at the show - just hung out and chatted with her :) It was a great night! :)
