Whirlwind Visit with Good People

I am feeling honored that my dear friend came to visit me in NYC on her last weekend in the US. It was long overdue but even more so, much needed.

It's interesting when you think about friendships and the things that bond. Me and C met through Weave Girl, but I knew right away that we would have have become friends under any circumstance. I was automatically taken by C's energy, openness, ability to live in the moment and smile. And over time, I came to know her as also a person who is very persistent in achieving her goals, thoughtful in her actions and true blue to her friends and family.  She is worldly yet unpretentious. She is good people.

To me, this picture really embodies C's spirit.





In our 24 hour whirlwind visit, we managed to walk along the Bowery and through Soho, stopping for art shows (including opening night for Mark Morrisroe) and drinking coffee at Ground Support, listening to music at the Rockwood and meeting friends at V Bar, eating a world-class burger at Corner Bistro (who were experiencing a black out) and drinking up at Cubby Hole, and playing a little guitar and having lunch with Yahtzee at Mexican at La Superior.

And of course, sitting on the rooftop in Snuggies till 4:30 in the morning - talking.

Is there anything she can't do?

Bon Voyage friend, I have no doubt your energy and smile will win the Dutch over as you find a new home in the Netherlands. 
Thank you for being my friend.

    all she needs to do is get used to little space (in housing and human contects)!

  2. Dasha,

    Did you know your Grandpa Gayles' bar on Chippewa St. in south St. Louis was named the "Cubby Hole Lounge"?
