Layouts #3 and #4 for June

One of these days, I'm going to get back on track and post daily. I've been working hard on my NYC 2008 album, but a lot of those layouts were premade, and I just have to put the photos on them, so I don't share those. But today I did one from "scratch." This was my first trip to NYC, and I fell in love with the city. I've been four times since then and hope to go back in 2020. I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to scrap these pictures. Maybe it's because I took almost 1,000 pictures, and I had a hard time realizing that I don't have to scrap them all. Anyway...these are pictures of stores along 5th Avenue.

What I'm reading
I finally finished Sarah's Key and really enjoyed it. I gave it 4/5 stars. Now I'm back to a cozy mystery, A Wedding to Die For by Leann Sweeney. It's #2 in the Yellow Rose mystery series.

What I'm cooking
Tonight I'm making the second meal from my Blue Apron. It's a recipe I've made before from them, and my family really enjoyed it.  General Tso's chicken with Jasmine Rice
