Oopsy Daisy. I know I need to update when I have several people reminding me. Tick tock, tick tock. Here goes...........There's a funny picture I want to show everyone. It doesn't just represent my mom, but all moms and the lovely way they always want to be moms to helpless children. Of course, even if you're married and living miles away in a big city, they will always worry and will always jump at a chance to help in any way. I find that my mom gets ecstatic every time I ask her for any sort of help and since I don't need help with money or any other service, I usually ask her to send me care packages whenever we get visitors in town. She takes the meaning of "care package" waaaaaay overboard! And this isn't even everything. This is all that would fit in this one cupboard. I really mean it. I have other cupboards filled with fish sauce and a bunch of other things I use to cook with.
Moms... Gotta love 'em!
On a bright and sunny day, the three of us (Goosey was busy) decided to head to South Street Seaport to hang out and have lunch. It kinda reminds us of Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco except I didn't see any seals or walruses.
After South Street Seaport, we headed for the Silent Rave. For the 2nd time this year, New York City held another Silent Rave in Union Square just a few blocks from our apartment. I was curious about this event so I immediately excited to hear about a 2nd event since I missed the 1st one. At a Silent Rave, everyone dances and listens to music, only they listen to it via ear phones. So on the outside looking in, it looks quite hilarious because all you hear is giggling. You don't hear any music, yet all these crazy folks are dancing. Well, I decided to join the crazy folks. LOL. This event happens all over the world. The premise is that music brings people together. It doesn't matter what kind... Music in general. Attendees of the Silent Rave can listen to whatever they want and dance in any way they want. The only rules are to be at this one spot and start at exactly the same time as everyone else does. And the number one rule... ear phones only, no speakers!
Of course I dragged the boys along in my crazy shenannigan.
....and for those of you who have forgotten how short I am, here's a picture to remind you. I'm dancing in a train and as the hubby got a picture of me, everyone else's head is cut off. LOL
During a free weekend free of visitors, we roomies took a bus trip to Thousand Islands and Niagara Falls.
In Thousand Islands, we took a boat trip around the Thousand Islands area. If you take a look at a US/Canada map and check out the northeast corner where all those little islands are bordering the US and Canada, you'll know where we were. There are over 1800 islands there. Some have houses on them and we even saw a huge castle on another.
We spent a night in Rochester and headed out to Niagara Falls the morning after Thousand Islands. Niagara Falls borders New York and Ontario, Canada. We only visited the New York City side, but we got a glimpse of Canada from the other side. While at Niagara Falls, we took a boat ride and came close enough to the falls for it to spray us. Luckily the boat company gave everyone rain ponchos!

Yummy, rainbows taste so good.
That's all for now folks. You'll hear from me again in Entry 19. September is a busy month. We've got 9 visitors. I hope to get back to you all soon!
