Hanging At The Lincoln Center

June 2, 2017 and we are standing in front of the fountain at the Lincoln Center in New York City.

We were gathered together to witness the fifty-third commencement at the David Geffen Hall.

Cuny, City University Of New York, The Graduate Center Hooding Of The Candidates. 

Presenting Dr. Timothy Marshall Griffiths.

Proud supporter for the last eight years!

Just a couple of reminders to not let the mother take the photos!

I know it's blurry but it was the tears in my eyes.

Fortunate to have a level headed photographer in the family.




Could you imagine if we hadn't got the picture?

Dr Tenacity. 





What are your thoughts, Dr?

Man Of The Hour!

Timothy earned a PhD in  English. His defense was Bricolage Propriety; The Queer Practice Of Black Uplift, 1890-1905.

The robes! It's all about the robes and the hat.

Travel USA

The spoils. I am getting ready to post some exciting news in my life. Takes time to sort out all of the photos and notes taken on this excursion to NYC. I will say that the Strand book shop was one of the best spaces in time I have been to in a while. Although, it may be a three out of ten this trip! Travel USA...United Sardines Airline...packs you in and gets you to where you want to be in twenty minuets! I had an aisle seat in the last row and took a moment to lean out and notice all the shoulders, elbows and knee bones hanging out of the seats. We were not bothered to have our carry-ons under the seat in front of us as that was the only place for your feet. Sheesh, I held my magazine at an angle to the left, because there was not enough room to hold it straight in front of me, to be able to read the darn thing. Took eleven hours of traveling to make it home to my own bed. Could have been in London in eight. All in all it was the best forty eight hours a girl could ever have.

Could Use A Little English Daisy

Loved how the decorator balanced the extreme vertical with the drapes in a horizontal stripe.

Faux Bois and roman shades are ruling the roosts these days!

We tackled NYC's hotels so you don't have to.:

This would be an interesting hotel room to stay over in.

There is so much color in this black, white and natural kitchen.

All of the warmth and vibrant colors of summer are captured in one stylish hue with BEHR’s Color of the Month: English Daisy. This rich golden yellow works great as a bright accent color when paired with neutral grays and whites or deep greens. Click here to learn more about how you can use this trendy hue in your home.:

BEHR Paint



I now understand this color and why they use it in drawing rooms in England. We have had a cool and rainy spring and I could use a good dose of sunshine.

And that is what caught my eye, on Pinterest, this week.
