The Fair! Part One
Bev and I went to the fair on Monday, August 17th, Senior Day, and had a grand time. We hurried to get there because Bev wanted to see her former tapper group perform; they were scheduled for 9:45. We arrived with time to spare, but then had even more time because the people doing the sound were having many issues to getting the music to play. Eventually it began and I took this picture because it was funny that the couple in the front row, somebody's children or grandchildren, were filming like crazy. I wonder if they'll even watch the many photos/videos they took? The summer has been...

Farewell to New York…
Our plane didn't leave til 3:15 in the afternoon, so we had plenty of time to get out of the hotel. Or rather, we would have had plenty of time, but instead there was much scrambling and packing and...
After the Fall…
After Mom fell and broke her shoulder walking up the stairs at the Frick Museum, and got a diagnosis and a sling at a walk-in Urgent Care, we had lots of stuff to do. We left the Medrite Lenox Hill...
Our Fateful Walk through Central Park
Mom and I left the hotel about an hour after I returned from my run/walk. I wonder why Mom didn't get a phone photo here? Maybe we were in a hurry. We headed to the nearby Stage Star deli for a...
The rest of my walk through Central Park

Monday morning in New York
When I woke up on Monday morning at around 9:30, on our last full day in New York, I looked out the window to see what was happening down the avenue. There was a guy on the roof across the street....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (yesterday), KEVIN!!!
Kevin's birthday was yesterday, August 4th, and a good time was had by all. We started out with a kayak (first time this year for me) over to Long Bay. Delightful! This is the end of Long Bay. The...
Sunday afternoon in NYC, June 21st, 2026
On Sunday afternoon we hopped on a bus for the short ride down to the library. This picture is funny to me because that's what happens when you don't quite get somebody in the frame. Oops, sorry,...
New York on Sun. June 21st, 2026
We stayed up late (for me, and early for Mom) watching TV, and on Sunday morning, the expo was still going on. Not so busy at 10:30 on Sunday morning. Ready to roar out at the crack of noon! Mom was...
Saturday night in NYC
All dressed up and ready to go! I'd never changed outfits so much on a trip, except when Kevin and I were super duper dressed up for sailing to and from the UK, and then changed to hiking gear for...
