RITTENHOUSE SQUARE...

...and other views. 

I got into Philly late this afternoon and staying overnight in Philly with a friend before heading to New York to meet the clan tomorrow. Once off the train, I was already greeted by a stunning tree in 30th Street Station, then headed to Wanamaker's for a organ listen before closing. A short walk about yet again makes me miss Philly, and how beautiful the city is. Just walking around for a bit before settling in tonight got me into the spirit of the holiday. Everything is sparkling. That old song from Auntie Mame, We Need A Little Christmas rings true, in these times we are living in. It seems to me I'm seeing more lights and decorations then in years past. And since I love Christmas Pyramids and have quite a few German ones, I was so happy to see a huge one in Love Park. It's now raining and my friend informs me he made a homemade butternut squash and apple soup for dinner. I tell you; I have the best friends. I will sleep good tonight.

AUTUMN TRAVEL

The Mistress has been very busy of late. It stared last week when I was told I'd be going to several stores to help gather them together with my magic hands. While fun to get away and out of my own store, it was tiring to be in a different city so quickly. I was in DC, then Chicago, to New York and back to DC this week. What a whirlwind. But when on breaks, walking to the stores, or in Ubers, I did snap some pictures.

Left Philly....

 Arrived in DC to head to Tyson's Corner...

One project...the suiting shop.

This little fellow on our night at a restaurant in DC. Thought it adorable, all he wanted was his owners attention and to get off the phone.

Then off to Chicago….

Our boss took us to dinner the night in Chicago with spectacular views.

The only downside....was had I been there longer, I would have LOVED to have met Sixpense and Huntly. I'm sure they could have shown me something or two.Then to New York....

Another legend is going.....

The thing is, even when time doesn't permit to go off touring, there is still beauty and things of interest to see and take in if we only look.
