NYC Sibling Trip #6--New York Public Library Children's Room

-
On our last morning in NYC,
David and I took the subway
to the New York Public Library's
Children's Room.
I was captivated by the  displays and 
murals on the walls
that showed so many of the
places we had visited.

I hope you enjoy!

Welcome to the Children's Room!
The original Winnie the Pooh!

The Hundred Acre Wood


Christopher Robin


Oh, how Winnie the Pooh loves his honey.



Times Square and the Theater District

What a special Green Space Central Park is!!







Books, Books, and More Books
I was in Children's Lit heaven


We enjoyed a young man singing Beatles songs
in Strawberry Fields in Central Park, built
by Yoko Ono to remember John Lennon




I loved seeing newer books like
Scaredy Squirrel along side the classics.


We spent some time at the Guggenheim Museum

Thanks for sharing some memories with me on my
posts of our NYC Sibling Trip!

How blessed I am to be able to share
such special times with my family.

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because.

Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
