New Year's Weekend

JANUARY 4, 2007 --

December 28 LPR photographed a display of 2007 glasses at Ricky's, on West 23rd Street -- they were sold out two days later -- and then went to a Sugar Brothers fashion show at Myst.

LPR was at Times Square before noon, December 31 and again five hours later.

Revelers came from all over the country,
indeed, the world -- including -- Australia (the accompanying photo shows a mom from Sydney [l] and her daughters).

More Times Square New Year's Eve photos are planned for the next LPR.

(Caveat--no photos of midnight in Times Square: LPR was home asleep at that
time.)

New Year's Day, LPR went to the Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden, on 250 acres in The Bronx.

Here shown is the cluster of Christmas Trees at the park's entrance. Photos of the train display are also planned for the next LPR.

FYI -- the annual orchid show at the New York Botanical Garden -- with some 13,000 types of orchids -- opens in February.

A Couple of LPR suggestions for 2007:

1) Take down the number of the taxicab you hail in NYC

2) Don't be taken surprise by a moving company, on moving day.

LPR plans to elaborate, next posting.

And May God Bless Us All in 2007.
