Arguing In the Street

When I first moved to Midtown I had a great flat practically right in the center of all the action. I could walk across the street and enjoy the best Mexican restaurant in the city or take in a dinner and a show a block away. Bars everywhere! On hot nights, since my apartment didn't have the best air conditioning, I would sleep in the living room with the front door ajar (security screen locked) and the windows open to bring in a nice cross breeze.  Unfortunately, having the door and windows opened not only brought in the breeze but the noise from the local night life - people laughing and having a great time.

April Blog Challenges Bring May Followers

I hope! I have officially entered in next month's blogger challenge  A -Z! I'm extremely excited. This is an amazing opportunity to not only gain new followers but also to see how my writing evolves after posting every day for a month.

April is going to be a crazy ride!

While David is busy painting away, Artis is at her table putting together some of very pretty South Western jewelry. They both are very camera shy which is why I have only their business card to share. This picture really doesn't do the miniature justice. To see it in person is truly a delight. The painting of the horse above reminds me of that song from the Rolling Stones'
