I took these shots in early November when the mums were still fresh although they could probably bloom today, it's raining and the temps have been rising through the night - it could get to 60F by this afternoon. And there's thunder! in January!
Even the cats were so surprised it took them a moment to remember they don't like thunder.

Waterfront Mosaic

2012-01-16T12:33:00.000-05:00

NJ has a whole lot of towns.

There are so many that they spill over onto each other. Keyport is one of the 6 towns around me that winds in and out of my town. It's a favorite - it's the only town that has a real main street where you can actually walk and visit small shops. It also has a beautiful waterfront where the marina I often post about is located.

Last fall the town's art council installed a mosaic that depicts the town's history. It's situated right off the waterfront on a little island of concrete that used to be bare.

As I mentioned in a previous post I made a day trip to Philadelphia to meet my wonderful friend Ron and to see my niece perform at the Walnut Street Theater as Lady Tiang in 'The King and I'

The sky was misbehavin' a bit as I approached the lovely Benjamin Franklin Bridge ...

Yet the skies were clear and blue just an hour later

My niece is Hope's Tita Gelli aka - Angelica and AuntAnaGela and many other nicknames. She is married to my DIL's brother but calling her my niece is just easier and I have been appointed an honorary Tita title anyway. She is an accomplished actress with a wonderful voice and a powerful stage presence and an exceptional air of magic all around her.

This photo comes from the theater site. Tita Gelli on stage with Anna, played by Rachel York.

2011-11-29T17:14:00.000-05:00

There is a lovely marina about 15 minutes from me. The area has been renovated and there is a gazebo and more parking and a long walkway. A lot of the original wood was salvaged and reused so it maintains its original organic charm.

I go to the marina often, sometimes early in the morning to watch the fishing boats leave.
There are many salty old sailor type guys hanging around. They wave and hoot and call me "girlie". They always want to add "a little spirit" to my coffee. The make me laugh and are actually quite sweet in their own rowdy way.

Now and then I see this man who stays to himself. He is well dressed and walks with an air of grace and peace. He nods to me and smiles slightly. Sometimes he tips his hat. Although I am a very demonstrative chatty person I just nod back and smile. Once I tipped an imaginary hat to him and he chuckled softly. He never breaks stride yet I always get a warm feeling from him.

I have asked the others about him and have been told many stories but then I decided his story was simply his own and I take him in at face value.

It is more than enough.

He is a gentleman.

Where The Hell Are All These People?

I've shopped at ...

for about 9 years now and every time I passed the business listing I would wonder where all these businesses were ...

I had never seen the lawyer or the accountant or the cigar shop. The center is small. How could I have missed all these places?

Turns out that in 9 years I had never noticed that there was a second floor.

This discovery led me to finally find out why the center is called Airport Plaza since the nearest airport is in Newark, nearly 30 miles away.

I learned there was an airport on the site in the late 1940s which mysteriously closed in the mid 1950s. You can see some interesting aerial shots of how the area looked then and what is looks like now HERE

They were incredibly quiet during the ceremony and then danced with Mickey at the reception.

Finally back home with my deemed safe vehicle I took the original shot ...

She was still hiding a lot as her 3rd year began

But curiosity did draw her out more and more

She got cozier and cozier

Siren was still not so pleased

Isadora learns to speak up for herself

Sometimes she even starts the trouble

One of my favorite things about Iza is how she thinks we can't see her if she can't see us

Cuddling is still in the future but Siren and Isadora will calmly share the same space

Siren will even turn his back or maybe he's just saying kiss my butt

Earlier this year Isadora had surgery to remove all her teeth from the canines on back

This was in response to an autoimmune disease that created severe gum inflammation

I'm so pleased that she's healthy and happy

A lot of people celebrate the gotcha day of their adopted family members but I prefer to calculate when they were probably born and then chose a date that has some meaning

CAMERA CRITTERS

This is my cousin's dog Daisy. She's a good old girl with a bit of arthritis and a tendency to sit with her mouth open. She is lovable and loving and will kiss you a million times. She loves children and is incredibly gentle and patient.
