the final bit of our second day in new york…

After leaving the spectacular SeaGlass Carousel on the evening of Wed. Dec. 11th we got on a bus and made the short trip over to the 9/11 Memorial Fountains. It was dark, cold, and windy by the time we got there, so not a big crowd. You can’t tell in the picture...

the SeaGlass Carousel

On Wednesday, Dec. 11th after we left the Brooklyn Museum and got tix for the Temptations show on Broadway, mom and I hopped on a free downtown manhattan bus and headed for the Seaglass Carousel. Bev had told me about it; she’d seen a post that our friend Gil...

More from the Brooklyn Museum

I feel i’ve been woefully lacking in my posting of les paul photos, so here are some from the beginning of November. we were having a lovely walk…and then Les decided to climb right up the oak tree that’s leaning way over in the lake. he didn’t...

December!
