It was a beautiful night here in NYC, so we hopped on Stella for a ride to the West Side to watch the spectacular fireworks display. These always amaze me, as do the conversations I sometimes overhear. Tonight I overheard a family of three from Stamford, CT who first, they announced these were the most spectacular 4th of July fireworks in the WORLD, then commented on the new "technology" for the floating effects, and when the child lightly coughed, the mother told him to "do what you need to do sweetie, do what you need to do - cough it out" - whatever that was about.
Earlier this week we drove to Pittsburgh. We drove into the city for some Regatta action and after had drinks in Market Square with my brother and his girlfriend. Market Square was recently renovated and I am amazed at much space they managed to create there, even though with the upgrade came NYC drink prices.
Above all, we spent lots of time at the Compound and poolside with the family. My niece went underwater for the first time with the prodding of her mama.
Me and my sister shared ideas for project "neon sign" which will be unveiled pretty soon, along with gossip and a few vodka slushies.
We sat a lot on the porch - not just to BBQ and eat lots of good food but to share stories and chat and best of all, laugh.
This little guy was a hamming it up for us all the while. He even managed to call me Tante before the weekend was through.

Heyyyyy...didn't the cherub picture make the cut? haha It really was the most relaxing and laid back weekend I've had in a very long time. Glad to share it with family. 4th of July could be my new favorite holiday!
