Alissa is not alone

     The Mommy has landed, and I have pirated this blog for the next little while.  And believe me, it isn't easy to blog.  I have to sit at the end of Alissa's bed with the computer up against the wall and hurry before the connection ends.  Anyway, I had the smoothest flight ever.  This morning we had brunch at this really cute little tea shop with Becky, one of Alissa's friends back here.  

Then she walked me all over NY.  These are snowflakes at Columbus Square.  The bright white dots on the pink ones are when it snows - every 10 minutes or so.

         

We went to Macy's today - huuuuge.   It has all the stuff ours does

but 20 times more brands and styles.  The top floors still have the

original wooden escalators, and they get narrower the higher up

you go.  Really cool.  Also, I'm not sure you can tell, but that is a

POODLE tree - yes really!!!!  Tomorrow we see the Rockettes!!
