Random pics

Not in any great order--some pics from our trip to NY/CT.




St. John the Divine. Dad's favorite in NYC. This was our destination when we got caught in the storm that they think may have included a tornado touching down in Queens.



We were damp during the play but still enjoyed it.


Rockefeller Center


Grand Central Station with the Chrysler Building behind it.


Rockefeller Center

St. Pat's

Apple Store on 5th Avenue, just below the park.




I love the Tiffany windows and fountain--and many, many, many other parts of the Metropolitan.



Some modern art--we don't spend too much time with that but these were across from the impressionists.



World's biggest dairy store. This was near Darien, CT where we stayed with Steve and Tammy Potter. Dad loves stuff like this.




It doesn't capture it but it was HEAVY rain. The gutters flooded and spilled onto the sidewalk. Sheets of rain came down the sidewalk.
In the Park.





Bad news for our purple robe locust tree. Before our trip, we had a really windy night and in the morning, this is what we found. We had been trying to treat the tree for bore worms and it looked fairly healthy this year but the trunk was riddled and weak. Too bad.

So that's why Nate wants to take me to NYC.... Looks like another great trip! (Nate's been in Connecticut for the last two days and has said how beautiful it's been.)

And ahhhhhh! So sorry about your purple robe locust tree. That is so sad!

That does look like a wonderful trip. You both look like you had a lot of fun.

And that's really too bad about the tree. I love that tree. I hope you can replace it with something just as nice - if not just another of the same!
