Sloane and I got to New York on Tuesday afternoon. After checking into the hotel and getting her NYU pass, we took a cab over to ASTA'S HOUSE! We got to meet Asta and her parents Ami and George. They live in a beautiful apartment near the river. Actually only about twenty minutes from Sloane's dorm. Oh what fun we had. Ami and George were so gracious to allow us to come over to their lovely home. Asta is the sweetest woofie! Sloane and I fell in love with all three of them!
We sat and chatted with them for hours. Ami is an incredible artist. She showed us a lot of her art and it is simply amazing. Their apartment is a unique showplace. They have taken an apartment and turned it into an amazing piece of art itself! George has made a lot of speciality pieces for the apartment. Ami's art decorates the walls. I would love to have some of her artwork, so I'm going have to see when her next showing is. (FOR THE RECORD, WE BOTH WANT TO MOVE IN WITH THIS WONDERFUL COUPLE!)

Then Asta and George went to the run while Ami showed Sloane and me around their neighborhood. Then, we all went out for a delicious dinner at a restaurant that they frequently go to. The best part was that we ate outside so that Asta could join us! The meal was wonderful and the company was just amazing. Sloane wants Ami and George to adopt her! Asta, of course, attracted lots of attention. She LOVES to give smoochie kisses and I LOVE to get them!

After dinner, George, Ami and Asta walked around with us showing us the highlights of the neighborhood. We finally left them around 11:00 p.m. I am greatly relieved to know that Sloane has friends live so close to her! George and Ami are two of the most amazing people I have ever met. I feel blessed that they are now such good friends.

On Wednesday, The Big Guy and Tatum drove to NYC from Maryland with most of Sloane's stuff. We spent hours getting her dorm ready. (I mainly just supervised!) Afterward, Sloane was ready to start her NYU student experience. Tim, Tatum and I got home last night around 9:00 pm.

Hi, we are so glad that you got to meet Asta and her Mommy and Daddy. Mom got to meet Victor's and Nina's mom and boy and Grr's, Midnight's, Cocoa's, etc. Mom and two of her girls, and loved it. They all had a great time too. We think it is really nice that we can meet such wonderful friends thru our blogs.
We missed you and are glad you are back home.
Tiki, Tavi, Cody, Camie and Miss Jade
That is soo pawesome! We love Asta! We're glad that Sloane is all settled in and that the trip went well.
Take care Auntie Deb!
OMG! mommy says Asta looks just like her doggie Tippi when she was a teen! She said she had to redo so many homeworks 'cause Tippi would drop her wet ball on it so she would play ball! When everyone was busy Tippi would run up the stairs just get the ball to the edge tip it..then race down the stairs to catch it in her mouth. When her ball got dirty she would put it in the bathroom sink , sit on the toilet seat and stare out for a bean to wash it off for her or she would wash it off herself if you just turned on the water!
NYC is a very special city and so are the people that live there. It is the greatest city in the world! We live only 2 hours from the city( Hey mommy you are taking over our comment!) Well it was nice that you had such a great visit, thanks for showing it to all of us=^Y^=the Cat Street Boyz
Angus' Mom says: What a wonderful way to start off her college experience. It'll make you feel better, too, Deb, to know there's someone nearby that Sloane knows. The Big City can be a bit overwhelming when it's just you. I hope Sloane has a great first semester!
We are lucky our eldest boy bean gets to come home from college on the weekends. We would all miss him too much otherwise.
Getting to visit Asta and her family sounds wonderful. Sloane looks very happy at college. ~S, S & C
Hi Catssss and Deb!
When Sloane needs a Cattt Fix, she can come visit Mica, Petey's brother. And from what Asta's told me, Sloane sounds like the PERFECT person to throw the tennis ball for us for hours and hours at a time!
So don't worry about your Sloane Kitten, Deb, between Asta, her Mommi and Daddi and me and Mica and our Mommy, Sloane has SIX new friends off-campus to look after her!
Your pals,
Petey and Mica
Sounds like an amazing time! I'm very jealous! ;) Glad everything went well. :)
