You lucky, lucky girl!! Have a Wonderful Day!! Marilyn xxoo
This is just SO neat! I read that post, and it sounded like a fabulous time!
Now, I'm going to leave a message here that I'm a follower. Is that correct, Pat? I think you know that, but I'm leaving it all the same since you said to do that.
Thanks for letting us have a chance at the drawing.
what was he like? i used to be a fan, then i saw that reality show he did and it turned me off...now i think he might have gotten the raw end of the deal. sounds like you had a great time in LA... i have loved your blog for the glimpse of new york...and now here i am seeing my own city from a completely different lens and finding a bit of pride. thanks for that!
Hi Pat, This is my first time posting here, I just left a comment on your back page regarding your LA trip. I truly love reading about New York in your blog, it has been an inspiration to me on my 2 vists to your New York, with all the wonderful people, you are a wonderful writer and photographer and I connect with your warmth and love of people and many interests! Thank-you for sharing. I live in the lower mainland of B.C. Canada, currently in Winnipeg with my husbands work. Thank-you for your wonderful blog!
Hello and welcome!
I'm Pat, a lifelong New Yorker who has recently moved to a suburb of Denver in the beautiful state of Colorado, so that I can live close to my children and grandchildren. I look forward to learning many new things about my new "mile high" city and I will share them on my blog.
New York City will always be my second home, and I will also continue to share many posts about it.
My blog's name in Italian means a "Thousand Favorite Flowers." I chose this unusual blog name because researching and writing for my blog, and taking photogrpahs for it, is like another "memory flower" that I am collecting in my bouquet of life.
I hope you will enjoy your visit to my blog and that you will leave a comment so that I know you've been here.
Thanks!

And our first pure mountain day, warm, calm, cloudless, - how immeasurable it seems, how serenely wild! I can scarcely remember its beginning. Along the river, over the hills, in the ground, in the sky, spring work is going on with joyful enthusiasm, new life, new beauty, unfolding, unrolling in glorious exuberant extravagance, - new birds in their nests, new winged creatures in the air, and new leaves, new flowers, spreading, shining, rejoicing everywhere. - John Muir
