Mary and I had a great time in NYC this past weekend. We went up there so Sarah and John could have the weekend off. We got there late Thursday afternoon. Friday the regular baby sitter was on duty, so we took off and wondered around China Town. Mary picked up some items for her book club since they were reading the Good Earth and she was hosting the meeting at our house. The Chinese Grocery stores were so much fun with all the stuff you have never seen before. Mary got some candy which when we got to the airport did not pass the scanner and had to go thru a second time. If it had been a month or two later I would have wondered if it was from the radiation from Japan. But now I am left with guessing what goes into the candy.
We went to Queens for lunch with Joe.
Sat and Sunday we played with Evelyn with walks in the neighborhood and Central Park. There are musicians playing throughout the park and it is fun to sit on a bench and listen. We heard a sax player, Dixie land band, hammer dulcimer, jazz quartet, a bongo drummer, a high school orchestra from England, and a drummer playing pans. I would go there every day to hear the music.
Joe brought us takeout on Friday night from and Asian restaurant in Queens.
Evelyn was a champ, never a cry even when we had to put some drops in her eye for some pinkeye. Put her to bed and she just goes to sleep. Amazing.
She loves her bath, I took her out after 30 or 40 minutes as I was getting afraid the wrinkles were never going to come out of her fingers and toes.
We left Monday morning as the painters arrived. Sarah and John are repainting the whole apt. in anticipation of putting it on the market. The realtor said it would be sold by July. We have suggested that they throw in a NC mtn retreat house as a bonus.
Sarah and John had a fun weekend in Philly and we had one too.
