JuneCon! Part 1
JuneCon was a celebration of June's Journey's 9th Anniversary. I've been playing the game almost since it started. It's a hidden object game, and the storyline is set in the 20s involving the intrepid detective June, her friend then boyfriend then husband Jack, plus assorted other family, friends and others. June is always working on solving some kind of mystery. The story is divided into volumes, and they're up to Volume 10 already. I'm still on Volume 7, because I'm not playing as much as I used to.

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...

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...
The Met on Saturday in New York
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...
