Lovely Weekend

 We Had a Lovely weekend with Janice and Madhu. On Friday I took them down to The World Trade Center site and The Oculus. We had lunch at Eataly. That evening Madhu took us out for dinner at Il Tinello. Saturday lunch at Saravanas. Junu, John Koerner and Kate, a friend of Chiara's from college, joined us.Saturday night we went to see La Boheme at The Met. It was terrific.

State Cross Country

Laura ran in the NY state cross country meet yesterday at Van Cortland Park in The Bronx. It was a fun day. As you can tell from the photos her team is really small, She is the only girl. It is quite an achievement that they qualified to run.

It's the end of October, 2021

 Two sunny days in a row make it very hard to work. 

This is my favorite spot in Mt. Hope. If you enlarge the picture, you will see that the Coffin family headstone is right behind that of the Graves family.

Mom and I went to Speculator for Helen's 98th birthday. Not a typo--ninety-eight. We stopped as a scenic view spot I have always meant to stop at but never have until now. Very scenic.

Helen--beautiful then, beautiful now.
