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 more packing and we left our room at 11:58, two minutes before...

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 Urgent Care at 5:00 and our final show was going to start at seven. It...

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 delicious bite. I had a bagel and lox, yum. And then we headed into...

I’d never seen this statue before. It’s inscribed, Dedicated to the Indomitable Spirit of the Sled Dogs that relayed antitoxin 600 miles over rough ice over treacherous waters through Arctic blizzards from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome in the...

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. He didn’t seem to be doing much. Loitering. Down below, traffic...

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, Mom. We walked through the library and out the side door...

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 agreeable about going back to the Astro Diner for breakfast, probably...

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 marching along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in Wales. And before...

When we got to the Met it was very crowded. The line was long, and I snuck a photo of these oddly-dressed young women. Mom tried to ask them if they were in a play, but they didn’t speak English. I told her I was sure they weren’t in a play, but on the...

I woke up on our second day in the city with plans. Did I? Yes, I always have a plan. I believe I intended to go up to the Metropolitan and maybe the Frick and also Central Park, which is just about my favorite place to sit and watch people in NYC. But when I opened...

It was Friday, June 19th, and we’d breakfasted, we’d gelato’d, we’d walked a lot at the Little Island and the High Line, and I was in need of refreshment after all that walking. We’d managed to walk a few blocks to a drugstore on our...

Well, here are some of the photos from our first day – we were busy and of course I took more than one million pictures. Even though I’ve whittled them down to way less than a million, I still have to break up our first day into two segments. So this...

Mom and I left for New York on Thursday, June 18th. Our plane didn’t leave til the three in the afternoon so it was a leisurely drive to the St. Louis airport Or it would have been a leisurely drive, except as we neared St. Louis it started to pour down rain....
