A couple of Saturdays ago, we had a special visit from my parents and my surrogate aunt, Linda Kammer. Linda is a painter who travels all over doing amazing watercolors where ever she lands.
In this case, Linda took us girls on a little field trip to look at one of my neighborhood’s most beautiful features, the covered bridge. She wanted to paint, and Mira wanted to paint, and so we had a beautiful morning sitting out, talking about the things girls talk about when they are together.
We call Linda, or “LaLa” as Mira calls her, Mira’s fairy godmother. She keeps a door open to the magical world for my daughter, and they have a very deep connection.
My mom, Charlotte or Nonna, depending on who you talking to, regaled us with stories about my Gran and let me snap a rare picture of her. She is very shy to the camera, and I felt very glad to see her this relaxed while we were hanging in the alley.
It must have been something about that bridge. It is one of my most magical spots, a bridge to all sorts of fairy tale worlds, but New York style, amidst the graffiti, the scorching heat and unsavory smells that the City offers in the Summer.
Do you have a sort of magical space in your corner? A place you go to get inspired? A Saturday sort of place?
