A New York State of Mind

So, I created this brand new blog and then left town!   Spent the last week in Brooklyn visiting with Vicki & Steve and our grandson, Charlie having our early Christmas.  What fun we had.  Charlie is just chatting up a storm now and really enjoyed playing with his new toys.  We took him to see Santa at the ABC Carpet store in Union Square (a fabulous vintage, Norman Rockwell Santa) - went to gym class and music class with him.  Saw the windows on 5th Ave. and the tree at Rockefeller Center.   Here's a photo of Charlie with Santa...  he wasn't thrilled this year and shed a few tears, but managed to say "bye bye Santa" thru those tears as he was leaving.
