It was Jeff's birthday and so we headed into NYC where we met Joel at Penn Station (it was bound to happen in a city of 8 million people)
before going to Wellington's to get a peak at the birthday cake
not to mention his wonderful statue
and some lighting issue that make me think I need a new camera
though food pictures continue to work.
The birthday boy arrived
and started to speak with Martin in the blur
as I surveyed the kitchen
while Adam and Martin told tales
and dinner was served
followed by the all important birthday cake which Jeff was first to instagram
and then the birthday boy posed with his cake
which amused Suzanne
and Jane.
A few days later, Dr Len and I headed down to Lindenwold to visit Jackie Lagakos who does unique art in mosaic and glass including this dog
fire hydrant
as I inspected details of the dog
and other pieces in her yard
and along the walls of her house
including this bird bath
and more house decorations
before her first bottle construction arose
with details at the top
and more house details
and bottles
and tributes
followed by more impressive bottle structures
as we continued to make our way through her yard
to the bottle towers
memorial structures
and this remarkable mosaic
so that there were remarkable things to see
before we went inside to see the floor of the bass room
and then sat with George
and Jackie to visit and discuss lives and dreams.
Our next stop was at Mr. Bill's in Hammontown where we first observed the main attraction from behind
and then captured multiple frontal views.

being happy that they were opened
though this was a blur
and then I posed for the next potential Inn D Inn poster
and though we recorded the menu at Bill's
including the ice creams though we only had a taste of the dregs of mound ice cream there.
En route to downtown Hammontown, we stopped at a yard sale where this stool was available but passed up
and then we passed a street named in bad judgment
and an acknowledgment that this is the blueberry city
before heading to lunch where the condiments
and food were excellent.
En route home, we stopped at EL&M auto recycling to admire these sculptures made from old auto parts
|
while Dr Len greeted this man
and we noted the number of car parts they have stocked, a collector's dream
as well as bins filled with hub caps.
We recorded the location
as Dr Len fed his phone to this monster
and then recorded the site
as well as their defining sign in dark
and in light.
