"When in Rome....yadda yadda yaddda"...

Yeppers...one must try to fit in..anywhere they go..so "they" say..

So, when you're in the "hood"...in NYC...

now, I don't know any gang signs..but I think we're trying to count to 7...

But when one is at the Cherry Blossom Festival, one needs to look "Spring-like"..


{didja see the T-shirts?? They are original artwork from Erin over at http://eef-ink.com/ }


Thanks Erin!  She's a real sweetie..go look at her aDORabLe art!

She draws little "creatures" and when I first saw Mia, Brandi's little rescue dog, I told Erin that Mia looked just like one of her drawings..well, she gifted us with this:

Pretty good likeness, yes??



So, I turned them into iron-ons for T-shirts and even made one for Ella's Build-a-Bear..


OK..so back to the whole "when in Rome" thing..

So at Branch Brook Park...lookin' all girly..

Chloe..

 Mia...

 Grammie



..and Ella..

And...let's not forget..Lancaster County...






hahahhahahaaa!

We were standing at the photographer's place when a train with tourists went by..they were all pointing and waving at us..guess they thought we were the 'real deal'..

Yeeeeah..1 Puerto Rican, 2 Irish women and a PuertoRican Irish Princess!! 

OK..whew..a lot of stuff in one post.  Sorry..it must be the cold meds...cough cough hack hack..

Have a great tomorrow, OK?

Loved your post and the T-shirts. Ella is adorable in her pink sunnies. The costumes make you look like you should be working hard.

Oh, you funny lady. Did you just stop those gangsta dudes for a photo op? The T-shirt of Mia is marvelous. I can't believe there is a Amish-look-alike photo place in Lancaster. So sad! (And I mean that in the best way.) You are a gorgeous Grammie!
