three beautiful things

in New York City.

a few hours spent with two wonderful friends in Washington Square Park, watching our kids use their ingenuity and the universal language of play to communicate when their vocabularies failed them.

lunch with Blackbird and her husband, talking, laughing. my heart filled with the joyful feeling of being blessed with good, good people.

eating my first cupcake at Billy's Bakery. so happy I almost cried. and when we got up to pay, the lovely lady there smiled at us and said "no, it's okay."
