New York City and Beyond
Can't start the new week without mentioning that our four day getaway to New York was hot, hot, hot! We spent most of the time at my mom's apartment in front of the cool A/C. We did manage to go to Abingdon Square park and Hudson River Park "the beach" but that was it. The WIFI at Wesbeth was erratic and unpredictable but mangeable.
It was nice to see my mom and her caretaker and familiar things like the security guard and the exterminator who knew me as a little girl. It's amazing what five minutes of seeing somebody you knew for so long can give you such a sense of belonging.I'm truly grateful for that.
Ivry watched the construction of the townhouses being built across from Westbeth with cranes loading and unloading and a massive display of people at work putting our books of building in motion. A three year old paradise.
It was still nice to be there, watch the Wheel of fortune and enjoy the company of folks that I can safely call "Grandma Yvette" (Grandma Carmen's caretaker) and "Grandma Carmen" (my mommy). My mom's Alzheimer's does not allow her to give Ivry hugs and kisses, but Ivry was so cute and sweet and ran up to Grandma Carmen's knee and kissed it and ran back to me and said, "I kissed Grandma Carmen!"
I'm posting pictures of those days of New York City - memories will take those days over.
