Thank you, buddy! ...Greetings <b>Constant Complainer</b>~<br /><br />Thank you, buddy! I just got this new camera and I'm really enjoying it. I took it to NYC to try it out first, because I ADORE that city. It literally SMILES as you take pictures of it!<br /><br />"I can't help but think of the movie "Home Alone 2" every single time I see a picture of the Plaza Hotel."<br /><br />HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YES! I totally forgot about that movie, you're right. GREAT film!<br /><br />Oh, if you ever get the chance to visit NYC, I just KNOW you'll love it! It's so full of creative energy. It INSPIRES!<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, CC! ALWAYS nice to see you!<br /><br />And HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too!<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />XRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-58431460136143106672011-01-18T18:47:46.097-05:002011-01-18T18:47:46.097-05:00Ron, those were great pictures.

They're bold and rich! Just loved how you captured the beauty of each store. Something you'd find in a travelogue for Manhattan! What I love is Manhattan's architecture which just adds to its sophistication and charm!<br /><br />As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words!

It makes you feel like a kid again! They at one time closed the store for financial reasons, but then reopened it a year later. It's a landmark in NYC.<br /><br />OMG...you would DIE to walk through Bergdorf Goodman! I worked there a few times last year, when my company did a few special events in the cosmetic department downstairs. The store is exquisitely displayed. The windows are decorated so beautifully.<br /><br />Neiman Marcus is probably my favorite speciality retail store. A dear friend of mine works at the one in Orlando, Florida and LOVES it. Neimans is so CLASSY and PROFESSIONAL. <br /><br />Can you believe I didn't buy a single thing while I was in NY last week? I took some spending money with me, thinking that I would buy myself a treat, but I was so busy walking around taking photos, I forgot - HA! I may be going back at the end of January, so I may buy myself something then.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, dear lady!<br /><br />Hope you had a super weekend!<br /><br />X to you and Cristy!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-10258821318634733662011-01-16T18:44:28.461-05:002011-01-16T18:44:28.461-05:00Oh, 5th Avenue!

For many many many years, one of my life ambitions has been to go to Bergdorf Goodman. Sounds just downright ridiculous, but there it is. I remember the first time I went to Neiman Marcus in downtown Dallas. And bought a pair of red shoes. That I couldn't really afford. *sigh* just felt so good. So, Ron, what did you buy?

They actually have a photographer standing there, offering to take your picture while playing chop-sticks with your feet on the keys.

My father always had a conference and would fly out with my mother from CA. We'd stay at the Plaza and go shopping. It was always so nice.

I LOVE my time in the country too!<br /><br />So glad you enjoyed the photos, dear lady. I am soooooo happy with my new camera. It seems to be quite easy to work too. And like you said, I've been keeping that thing with me everywhere I go, because you never know when you'll spot something you might wanna snap a photo of!

And what a grand time of it you had--'specially the bus ride, apparently. *ahem*<br /><br />I'm a small town gal. I like the inconvenience. It means I learn to do without and make do--or ask the neighbor and borrow that cuppa sugar.... I'm guessing that's a good thing for me, given I had this thing for 'immediate gratification'.
