Pink Saturday Returns to Mystic

 

We're visiting Mystic, Connecticut (as seen from the Mystic River Bascule Bridge) for our Pink Saturday fun

A slightly different view from the bridge, equally beautiful

I spent some time walking the main street and doing both window and actual shopping. I loved the big rocking horse and the autumn leaves in the background. The leaves had just begun to change last week, but with cooler nights, the area now must look spectacular.

I didn't eat here -- my focus was on local seafood -- but couldn't resist taking a picture for all the fans of the movie.
 

I've been home from Mystic for a little over a week and it's been a tough re-entry. Usually when I get home from being away it takes a day or two to get back into my routine of gym, Weight Watchers, errands and swimming. Add in time with friends, a museum visit and perhaps a play or movie and by the end of the next week I'm totally back on track. I have seen friends, done errands and I went to virtual Weight Watchers meeting and services, but the other pieces of autumn in New York are missing. No whining -- or at least not much -- but I miss the anticipation of a new season, as well as the new season of theater, movies and concerts. 

But I am starting a new virtual class on studying Bible texts from an interfaith perspective this week, going to a virtual author program sponsored by a major publishing company on Saturday and looking for a few virtual theater events to add to my calendar for the coming weeks. We've also got a big Monkey Monday announcement tomorrow and a fun Wedding Wednesday in Central Park upcoming, so I hope you'll stop by. 

As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care.
