we visited my friend alex this morning. i just spent an hour trying to find the post from our last visit, but it's nowhere to be found.
greg had the car today, so we were going to borrow my friend's car but it had a flat tire! we ended up riding out on the D train. it was a quick ride over the manhattan bridge.
alex has a beautiful home and garden in sunset park. i love visiting here . . sitting out in her garden, drinking coffee and tea and eating strawberries and cream. and we always enjoy talking with alex.
her aromatic roses which the bumblebees love.
the church at the end of her block whose bells ring every hour during the day.
she says she has a switch that turns them off at night.
alex has four boys who are still all in school, though i think owen has only one more year left.
her upstairs tenant brought down her bulldog named bailey for us to meet. he's a hefty guy, weighing in at sixty-five pounds! and he was pretty old too . . ten years. that's old for a bulldog.
getting ready to head back to the train . . m and c both had dance classes this afternoon.
look at the stone work on the lintel over the door, and the decorations on the top of the roof. they really don't make houses like this anymore.
an ad we saw on the train . .
