I went to the big apple!!!!  It was so amazing to go to New York.  My Nephew Daniel invited me along for his trip and of course I said yes.  We had the time of our lives.  We went to several broadway shows that were amazing!  Moulin rouge was decadent!  The set was so dreamy and very Red!  The performances of the cast was on point and I just loved every minute of it!  We also went to see his friends off broadway show and that was a real treat!  We met up with one of his friends who was a cool dude and then our seated were right at the stage!  His friends show was awesome and I loved all the music! My favorite broadway show was Wicked!!!  It was magical and colorful and amazing!  the cast was great our seats were great and I will never ever forget it!  We walked in central park and what a great park it is!  Went to Strawberry Hill and that was amazing to see the people and musicians who played Beatles music and I left a painted rock there! Miss you John Lennon.  We went to a great restaurant called Carbone and had the most incredible food.  I finally had my first official "slice of pie" in New York at a place called Stellas, yes of course I had to yell STELLA!  If you know then you know.  We went to a place called Juniors and had the best burger but their New York cheesecake was the best Ive ever had!  Times Square was fun and lively and i loved the ambiance! We sat in for a taping of Andy Cohens show Watch What Happens Live and we saw Dionne Warwick!  That was a really fun thing to do and Andy was so nice. We walked the High line which is an old above ground railway turned into a walkway and was fun.  I absolutely loved our day trip to the Statue of Liberty and /ellis island!  No trip to New York would be complete without going there.  The ferry ride to the Statue was so fun just due to the anticipation of seeing her in person.  We climbed to her feet as that is as far as you can go now.  It was surreal.  The museum is great to so don't forget to check that out.  I wish wee had more time but Im so fortunate that we were able to go there.  Ellis Island was amazing to be able to stand on the same ground as my ancestors who came here from Ireland and also  when we left and went back we got to go to the original Castle Garden where my actual great grandparents came to the USA through. It is very small and is a round brick building and that was so amazing.  I would have to say the one negative was the Mexican food! LOL!  the flavor profiles were not very good.  My enchiladas tasted like Italian sauce on them rather than the robust flavors Im use to. But all in all my trip to The Big Apple was amazing and the best part was to be able to do this with my nephew Daniel who is battling stage 4 colon cancer.  I was honored he wanted me to join him for one of his bucket list trips.  
​Be kind everyone.

Hi my art couch people!  I hope this year has started off well for you all!  Im excited to see what great things happen for us all this year.  I was able to go on vacation to New York at the beginning of March with my nephew and we had the time of our lives!  New York is such a great city and we were so fortunate to see Moulin rouge and Wicked!!  Talk about lucky!  We also saw an off broadway show with one of my nephews friends and that was super fun!  Of course the Statue of Liberty did not disappoint and thought it to be magical!  Im hoping to be getting back to a routine with my art again and I'm looking forward to creating more exciting items!  I am also very excited that I am able once again to finally teach my mandala art in person!  WooHoo!!  I taught my first in person class in my hometown thanks to a wonderful friend who is letting me use her studio to teach in.  We had such a great turn out and everyone was having such a really fun time.  I will be having another class and am really looking forward to it!  So that is what I am up to so far this year.
