As we were drifting off to sleep on Christmas Eve, Jennifer mentioned that she loves experiencing other people’s holiday traditions. So true. And this CE was no exception as we spent the evening with our friends Colin and Barbara Lynn. First we attended a wonderful CE service at this cool historic church in our old neighborhood (John Street United Methodist Church, near Wall Street, the oldest Methodist congregation in America - 1766!). We then took a brisk walk through the South Street Seaport to see the big tree (which are a dime a dozen in NYC as there are big Christmas trees everywhere, but festive nonetheless).
Then back to Astoria where we enjoyed the company of our friends, who made their Xmas tradition…delightful huevos rancheros a la Colin--pictured here in the kitchen. And of course there was also a delicious ginger beverage a la Barbara Lynn for Jennifer, and delicious bock beer a la Shiner for me. We had a great time.

ReplyDeleteThis blog is just one more reason to love the Browns. You guys rock the web.
ReplyDeleteThe tight quarters in the galley notwithstanding, you guys have an amazing apartment. The high ceiling . . . the stunning chandelier . . . all those wooden benches for guests! And the scaffolding shows me just how committed you are to making improvements and more room for the bambino.
ReplyDeleteAmazing.
