I am sooooooo excited!!!! 🤗😁 I got my bag and pouch with art from @nikmoire today!! I love buying her art from her shop. There are so many wonderful things from which to choose. This time, I got these two, but I'm saving up to get more because I love her art, and the products she sells are good quality and very charming. I get a lot of compliments from people about these items. I think everyone should go to her page and order something from her shop because it is sure to brighten your day. I believe that we should all support the artists on Tumblr. This time, I even got free shipping. I love that, and I love these bags! Thank you, nikmoire!!! 😊 😍😁

Happy birthday, Anthony Volpe!!! What a great gift you got in today's 15-5 win against the Brewers!!! I love you, Anthony!! You're headed to the hall of fame, in my opinion! 😍 let's go Yankees!!!!!

Heading to the lake with Petey.

As Winnie the Pooh would say, it's a blustery day. It's so lovely here that rain or shine, it's beautiful 😍 Petey enjoyed the walk as much as I did!!! 😊😍 We love waking around the lake

It's record breaking time for the Yankees!!! Congratulations to Anthony Rizzo for hitting his 300th home run!!! And for the second, yes I said SECOND, day in a row, the Yankees have 15 runs and the game isn't over yet. You hit a home run, you hit a home run, you hit a home run.... it's like Oprah giving prizes out there!!!! Let's go Yankees!!!!!

Brooklyn graffiti.... very cool 😎 😊😍

Amazing graffiti in NY. What a spectacular piece of art!!! I love all the great things that you can see just driving around in NY. Sooooooo cool 😎 😊😍

Before I could leave NY, I had to go see Vinny at his pizzeria, Super Pizza, in Bellmore, Long Island. He is my pizza guru. I try to channel him every time that I make pizza. Today, he shared his recipe and secrets to making great pizza dough. I am elated!!!! 😁 as you can see from the bottom picture, I am bringing 5 large pizza pies home with me. Mmmmmmmm ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ now, my bags are packed properly. I have 5 pizzas, 5 egg rolls, 3 pounds of Italian cookies, and 4 very wonderful Italian cheeses. TSA gave me a weird look as they always do. I love Vinny's pizza. He is a master and he not only gave me his dough recipe, he also gave me a large Italian ice. Mmmmmmmmmmmm 😋 so kind. so good. So refreshing. I'm sooooooo happy 😊 I love NY, and I love Vinny and his pizza 🍕 😋 😍

To prepare for my flight home, I have to get Italian cookies. I went back to my hometown in Merrick, Long Island. I then went to Salpino's in Bellmore, which is just down the road from where I used to live. They have the best cookies at the best price in town. The lovely Angela behind the counter not only waited on me with kindness and charm, she packed up my cookies in the best way to stay whole and fresh on my flight home. 😋 Angela is a very nice lady and I really like her a lot. I couldn't resist buying a soppressata while I was there. It'll go very well with the cheeses I bought yesterday. I can't wait to get home because I'm getting hungry just thinking about my suitcase full of food. I love NY ❤️ 😋😍

I visited the Stand Alone Cheese shop in Queens. They have every cheese that I've ever dreamt of and so many that I will now dream of. The people there are kind and very knowledgeable about cheese. They proved to me that I've got a friend in cheeses😉 I should've brought an extra suitcase that I could've filled with cheese to bring home. Next time, I will. Right now, the extra space I have to bring things home is already almost full of pizza, bialys, egg rolls, and Italian cookies. But I still bought some Parmesan reggiano, pecorino romano, and some asiago to take home. I'll find a way to squeeze it in. I couldn't resist. I can't wait to cook with these cheeses!!! Mama mia, this will be delicious 😋 😍 TSA always looks at me kinda funny when they see my bags are packed with food, but I don't mind because it's sooooooo worth it 😁 I love NY ❤️

I love this bakery!!! 😀 they have Gelato from Italy! It's so rich and creamy and full of flavor! I didn't think it was possible for something to taste that good, but it did. Mmmmmmmm ❤️ the pastries and cookies are phenomenal 😋 😍 and the people in the bakery were sooooooo nice! I wish that they had bakeries like this where I live in Washington, but they don't so I keep trying to create these delightful desserts on my own. I hope that someday I can bake like they do here in this bakery. I'm very thankful that I got to sample their glorious goodies!! I still need more pizza 🍕 😍 I love NY ❤️ 😍

Found on a wall in NY. Very cool 😎 😊

This made me smile. I hope that it does the same for you. 😁😊

It seemed like a strange sign considering that there was half a block stacked with apples 🍎 🤔

It's a perfect day in Queens, NY 😊😁😍

I had my first gyro today!!! It was fantastic!! My friend thinks that I must be a sheltered New Yorker because I have never enjoyed a gyro before. I think that they're right. The best part was enjoying it and sharing it with the pigeons. The white one ate the most. I think that it would've sat in my lap to get more if I let it. Maybe next time little bird. 😊😍😋

You see the coolest things in New York. This woman has a handbag made of soda can flip tops. She likes it because it's very light because it's made of aluminum. I love the variety of people and things in New York 😍 💕 ❤️

The detail in that portrait of the older woman is fantastic. Graffiti has improved, since I was a kid. It's always been art, but it's reached new heights😍😁
