Friday Frivolity - Oh Winnie the Pooh

TGIF  - last week had Winnie the Pooh Day, but I think his sayings are good for any day. Hope everyone is staying well, dodging the germs, and muddling along. January has been quite the challenge. Hmm, What shall February bring us?

Love

Smile as you shovel - February can be quite contrary

 And this is a cake!   Yes, we enjoyed a retirement/birthday party for the matriarch of Knight Electronics  - Ray's former employer. We were invited to a lovely dinner, celebration, and cake. 

She helped found the company and handled all office requirements on an old typewriter - in triplicate. 

Stay warm, have a good weekend, and eat cake!

New York: The Morgan Library

 NewYork City - love it, never have enough time to do everything on my list. I did get to the Morgan Libary this trip, and what a treat. Pierpont Morgan, financier, assembled his world class collection of books, bindings, medieval manuscripts, literary and historical manuscripts, plus drawings and prints in the 1890s.

 Today the library and museum, brownstone and new modern airy spaces, welcome the visitor into another world teeming with a vast rich history.

 Here is one view of the East Room, filled with rare books.

 Another view of the East Room. Note the stained glass windows, the vaulted decorated ceiling, wood carvings, and ancient tapestries.

Here's a postcard illustration, courtesy of the Morgan collection - A.A.Milne's Winnie the Pooh and his Ten Honey Pots by artist Ernest Howard Shepard. So many gems to unearth in The Morgan Library. It's heavenly.
