The Plays we saw

Michael and I saw The Marvelous Wonderetts on Friday, Legally Blonde on Saturday, and Alter Boyz on Sunday. All three plays were great and I would recommend any one of them.

Hotel Affina 50 on 50th Street

We checked in at the Affina 50 on 50th Street between Lexington and 3rd Avenues. This was too weird, we got the same suite we had in May of this year, Suite 2004. The configuration was a L Shape with a foyer, good size living room, small kitchen, large bedroom and small bathroom. The balcony ran the back of the living room to back of the bedroom. There was a door from the bedroom and another door across from the kitchen. After getting settled sin the room we headed out to enjoy the city.

Jamaica Station

Michael and I left home on Friday morning to catch a bus at the park and ride in Plymouth for Logan Airport. We were flying on Jet Blue, leaving at 11:45 and arriving at JFK just 45 minutes later. We took the Air Train from the terminal to Jamaica Station and bought both our tickets for the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). We walked over to catch the LIRR to Penn Station, but there was some sort of switching problems. After waiting at the station for 30 minutes I ask a woman who works there when the train would really be in, she said take the subway E line downstairs, we did and were at the Affina 50 in less than an hour.

Picture from the lido deck (the upper parking lot at work)

The lower lot was filled when we got in this morning so we had to park on the upper parking lot, we call the lido deck. The only good thing about parking up here is the view, the body of water in the pictures is the Randolph, MA reservoir. It would be nice if the town had a walk way going around the reservoir, it would give everyone a safe place to walk instead of the street here in the industrial park the school is in.

The Little Angel

My sister in law, Daisy, aks Virgina, sent me a picture of her granddaughter, my grandniece, Alisa, she is 17 and graduating 2009 from High School. Where does the time go??

My Mother's update

It's been a while since I posted anything. My Mother found out she has cancer in her upper right lung. Before anything is done she is having a full body MRI done as I type this. My sister Dottie drove Mom and Dad to the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, MA. Mom will get the result on Tues day when she meets with her doctor and three other specialist will be doing the surgery on her. At almost 82 years old, Mom's doctor told her she's in great health and doesn't see any reason not to proceed, well that is once he has the full body scan.

My Parents Home

Garden around the mail box, sedum in the front and a mum behind it, too bad the mum is the same color as the sedum. This is the back yard that as kids we would play in for hours and it seemed so large.
This is my favorite tree, a sugar maple that was planted by my Grandpa Jim, my Dad's dad. In the autumn it turns a brilliant orange. Next few picture are of the front of the house just from different angles

The leaves have started to change color and dropping all ready and the temp's are falling too. It's been going dropping in the 40's at night and in the 60's during the day. Have to enjoy the weather while I can befor the tempature is in the teens or twenties during the days. Yikes winter will be here before I know it.
