A Memorable Memorial Day

Outdoor BBQ on the streets of New York! It must be memorial Day weekend!
The area is filled with the Navy and the Marines. It is Fleet Week and it has been
nice to see them here instead of in Iraq. Afterall it is Memorial Day, and a time to
remember.
The picnics and parties are nice though and I really had a great piece of grilled
corn on the cob, which always gets caught in between my teeth, but who cares!
I think we all grew up expecting such parties, but they still seem unusual in
our neighborhood.
Today was a good day to celebrate!

Color Me Greetums

In search for the perfect colors, and lighting, for Greetums, Tom and Kat took a day trip to
Cape May, New Jersey; a bucolic Victorian seaside resort at the southern most tip of
New Jersey. Although Tom had spent many summers on the jersey shore, together they
have only had one vacation in the last 26 years. And that was two weeks in Cape May.
We think of Greetums as a place and as a place Kat thinks of the Shoppe as a little Victorian
store but on a very small scale. The colors, the light, the Victoria styles on such a small
scale. TomKat wants to build a little Victorian storefront in Hell's Kitchen, New York!
Cape May, New Jersey 2007
Between them they have over 350 images; Kat concentrated on the colors and lighting that
caught her eye, the architectural details. she looked for the examples that were perfect for
Greetums in my mind's eye. Tom made great photos, incuding the portrait of Kat which
I adore.
Lighting at the shore is pretty much perfect at all hours; bright but totally idyllic, it is god's light. The colors are deep and pastel, smoky and sun bleached. At this time of the year
everything is fresh and ready for the summer. TomKat are planning to go down again for the
historic Christmas celebration. We'll keep you posted.

I can be very Generous.
New York. If you can make it here you can make it anywhere; or so the saying goes. It's
where the salt of the earth meet the state of the art. And no place has more color than
42nd Street.
Here you have Disney, movie houses, Broadway theaters and creepy wax covered celebrities.
What some actors won't do for a buck.
I love this town.

Ah springtime in Hell's Kitchen; it's like that old New York joke.
It's Springtime in New York. THE tree is in bloom, and THE bird is singing.
No seriously. Our local community garden is spectacular this year and Tom has been busy
documenting the flourishing every few days, while I have been steadily working on my crash
course in how to "Win websites and influence Servers".
Things are going to be alright and it really helps to see things being built so strong!
It's the weekend of the Ninth Avenue Food Festival which means that the National Stationery Show is in town, and the New York dreamteamsters are joining me in a marathon three hours of walking the Javits Center and soaking in all things gift and greetings.
I am dreaming of having a booth in the 2008 show. It all looks so good in my head! I
continue to work on the uniform for the Greetums Lady and it just tickles me to brainstorm
(and daydream) about the Shoppe.
The dream includes our flagship store which is going to really be the sets for Greetums TV.
We all need a little Christmas right this very minute!
