"Life isn't long enough to do all you could accomplish. And what a privilege even to be alive. In spite of all the pollutions and horrors, how beautiful this world is.
Supposing you only saw the stars once every year. Think what you would think. The wonder of it!"--Tasha Tudor

On the boardwalk......





........I can't believe it is snowing again. One warm day last week, when the last storm's snow melted, we took a walk on the boardwalk. Playland in Rye, NY is one of my favorite places. It is an historic amusement park here on Long Island Sound, with original Art Deco architecture from the 1930's. These pics were taken on the boardwalk, but there is an entire really pretty amusement park with rides there as well. 3 of my favorite rides are the Dragon Coaster, which is one of the last original wooden roller coasters in the United States, the Derby Racers and the Carousel. The last two have beautiful original wooden carved and handpainted horses. Does the boardwalk look familiar to you? Movies are occasionally filmed here. If you are a Tom Hanks fan, you may recognize the boardwalk from the movie "Big" where 'Zoltar' the fortune teller made his wish come true.





What is Bridget looking at? I wonder if she is making a wish?....






Happiness is.....
