Just wanted to say hello.

I haven't been blogging too much lately.  I have a lot going on in my life, one of which is that we are moving.  After having lived in our home for 23 years, needless to say,  there is much packing to do.  We are donating a lot of clothes.  My daughter and I never throw out clothes.  She says we have to spread the love around.
I love blogging and appreciate my readers from all over the world.  I will post from time to time but not as much as usual for the month of August.  I hope to resume regular posting in September.  Have a great weekend and enjoy the rest of the summer!   xoxo elyse

Love this photo.

Chocolate shoes...yum!

There is a local store in Hewlett called Dolce Confections.  It is awesome.  You must visit it to see all that they sell.  When I was recently there having the best peanut butter yogurt ever I took some photos of beautiful chocolate shoes.   Here is a link to their site (Baskets by Expressions.)

How to make friends by telephone

It is so funny to look at this booklet.  Back in 1940 it was probably taken very seriously!

Bunny Deana

In March I told you a little secret of mine.  My secret was that when I was younger I wanted to be a Playboy Bunny.  It was a dream of mine.  So one day I went to the Playboy Club in NYC with one of my friends who also wanted to be a Bunny.  It was amazing inside.  And there were the Bunnies walking around with the poofy tail that I wanted to proudly wear.  I never followed through with my dream because mostly I thought my father would kill me.  I regret that I didn't go ahead with it because I know how exciting that experience could  have been.

Bunny Deana

 A few months after I posted some wonderful photos of Hugh Hefner and the Bunnies I was contacted by email by a former Bunny.  How exciting!  She told me that her name is Deana so she was Bunny Deana.  Deana told me that till this day such tremendous interest exists in regard to the "Playboy Bunny."  Deana was a Playboy Bunny at the London Club from 1969 to 1972.  Deana told me that it was more exciting than I could imagine!  Deana became a Bunny in March of 1969.  Just a few months later she won the annual London "Bunny of the Year" competition.  Deana won a trip to the United States to compete in the  "International Bunny of the Year" competition.  What followed for Deana was more than exciting.  Please click on Bunny Deana's website  to read about  her incredible experience as a Playboy Bunny.
p.s. Well I never got to be a Bunny but now I can say I am friends with a former Bunny!

In my mind I'm going to California

Tomorrow I was supposed to go on a vacation to California and it was cancelled.  Bummer!  So I started singing to myself the James Taylor song but changed the State.
In my mind I'm going to California
Can't you see the sunshine,
can't you just feel the moonshine.
And ain't it just like a friend of mine to
hit me from behind.
Yes, I'm going to California in my mind.

And here's James Taylor.......

A cute story!

Yesterday I was at the beach and I met my friend in the ladies' room.  It was extremely hot and she seemed kind of annoyed at something.  She then started telling me the funniest thing that had happened to her.  I have to share it with you.
My friend said that she started to put on her bathing suit in the morning.  It was a tankini.  She had just wore it a couple of days ago.  But when she put it on it was soooo tight.  She couldn't understand it.  Her boobs were overflowing and she was really puzzled.  Even though it felt so tight she wore it anyway.
She went to the beach with her husband.  So she was not alone.  They were sitting on the beach and she was really uncomfortable in her bathing suit.  She went to scratch her back and felt a bump.  It was the cups to her bathing suit.  She put it on backwards!!!  She was walking around on the beach with boobs in front and boobs in back and her husband didn't notice.  Maybe her husband didn't tell her because men like boobs wherever they are! Doesn't matter front or back (typical man).
When I met her she had just finished turning her top around.  She really made me laugh.  I asked her if I could post her little story.  She said "yes, but please don't use my name!"
