I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Me & Mom - The current exhibit at the New York Transit Museum Annex is Celebrating 25 Years of Poetry in Motion. It is all about poems on the subway. Since 1992, the MTA has been displaying posters of poems  or excerpts from poems in New York City subways. Walt Whitman, Shel Silverstein, Gertrude Stein and Emily Dickinson are just a small fraction of the poets whose works have been displayed on subway walls. To date, over 200 poems or excerpts from poems have been presented. A selection of these poems is now on exhibit at the New York Transit Museum Gallery Annex and Store at Grand Central Station. The exhibit is not very big so its easy to go through in a small amount of time. There is no fee for visiting the exhibit. If you really like poetry, you will very much enjoy the exhibit. However, even if you don't you can still enjoy the illustrations, and there's a good chance you will find at least one poem you'll recognize and/or like.





And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for Theater Thursday.
