The next morning, this
was the remains of Jane's sleepover with the empty bottle from the night
before
still on the table as Kaylen and Lulu
and Jane and Fred
had tiredness contests. The winners
celebrated as Suzanne
saluted Rosie
who was least tired and happy to see Nathaniel
and his new haircut
arrive before Michael
came to pick up Lulu.
Later in the day, Ben
moved into the camera
as Jane
showed us her math test
and Ben took these pictures of us
as we took one last look at Jane's exam
and headed off to pick up the others.
We parked the car
and walked to the restaurant
where bread was served
and Suzanne
Peter
and Steven
wondered if this was the best self portrait
I could do while Sara
and Seva
knew I could do better
before the wine tasting placemats
arrived and the glasses were stacked
for those who ordered flights. The bread and cheese
needed less light
but the olives
shone as did my mini-calzones
that looked as good as Peter's pasta
Suzanne's fish
and the sandwiches Seva
and Sara
had. Since the olive pits were mounting
and the olive cups
were empty
we knew it was time to get this picture for the collection
and start walking south
to the play. Along the way, we met Josh and Renee
who were quite surprised to see us and then we marched on
to the play
where the grave of Governor Tompkins
and the mock liberty bell
told us who'd been there first.
After a unique theater experience, we headed back north trying to stop
in ChickaLicious
rejecting the idea of the 2nd Avenue Deli
where the owner had met a sad demise
and the automat facade
was still preserved. We also walked passed this bakery
until we got to 71 Irving Place
and had this overly dry Snickers brownie
and lemon pie
with drinks
while the conversation
tried to sort out the hidden meaning in the play we had just seen.
