It's Gonna Be A Sunny Day

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.


The entire cast was exceptional. The sets and costumes were beautiful.

Big Cat

I met this magnificent fellow on Market Street in Philadelphia. He was bathed in sun and shadow.

Back When We Had Money To Count

If I remember correctly this adding machine dates back to the early 1800s.




I don't remember the name of the place where this was displayed. I want to say the Wells Fargo building but I could be wrong.

I was in Philadelphia last week to see a show and meet the wonderful Ron from VENT


More shots from that day coming up.
