SPRING TIME IN BROOKLYN

So we have entered another season, It's Spring time in Brooklyn again. Spring is such a great season; it enters in the feeling of new beginnings, joy and hopeful expectations of what is to come. We watch the trees waiting in anticipation for the first blooms to appear. So it is in these crazy economic times and we really look towards hope and have joyful anticipation. I say yes and a resounding yes! For me personally my hope is that we all take stock of what is really important and redirect our priorities. I went to my neighborhood florist just the other day to pick out Palms for my Church and I ask the head florist how was business, were they being affected by the economic uncertainty. With a big smile she responded, they are doing just fine because people are staying home more so they want to fix their gardens, porches, windowsills, etc. They want to surround themselves with beauty and not concentrate on the negatives. Being home and enjoying the anticipation of Spring picnics in their yards and Summer Barbecues with family has become their priority.
There's nothing like a Brooklyn Barbecue and Brooklyn Picnic and a Brooklyn Block Party. May this season be hopeful, colorful and filled with family love; that's what really counts at the end of the day.

VICTORY OUTREACH NORTH BROOKLYN HARVEST FEST

A BROOKLYN SUMMER

The Brooklyn Bridge in all it's glory on the 4th of July.
My family and I and some friends got to see the fireworks from a rooftop in Greenpoint Brooklyn. It's was a beautiful Fireworks Show and we saw it clearly on a wonderful clear evening; oh it did start to drizzle, but we were not daunted. One of our very smart friends brought over his large white tent and we were well covered and having a ball. I started to look across all the other rooftops and they also were filled with people enjoying the Fireworks and enjoying each other's company and all of us enjoying the uniqueness that is BROOKLYN.

GRAHAM AVE. STREET FAIR

The Graham Ave. Street Fair was a great success as usual. Always jammed packed with wonderful vendors, and great displays and merchandise. Delectable foods and exciting entertainment. There was one missing ingredient, our very own Ambassador to Williamsburg Betty, who had emergency surgery but still ran a tight ship even from her bed rest. The highlight for me was Mr. Boro President himself........Mr. Brooklyn...Marty Markowitz. He shared a few encouraging words with the merchants and residents of Williamsburg/Woodhull,Graham Ave. BID and then was off to the Coney Island Area. Before leaving he spoke to as many people as possible and even stopped for a few photos. I was extremely excited to meet and greet Mr. Markowitz and blessed that he took the time to take a photo with my Church one of the organizations represented in the FAIR. Our tent was pitched early, My husband and myself arrived by 8:00am to secure a great spot. The weather was great to us, it was a wonderful fair the beginning of many exciting events that will be held in the Williamsburg area.
Be Back soon with more event reports, pics and news.
