New York, New York - 2

This is continued from below.

New York, New York

New York, New York the city so nice they named it twice as David Letterman says. Here are a few pictures of New York. They will follow after my narative. I had nearly 1,000 pictures of New York before I started to weed them out and I still have too many. I do not have everything we visited but this is what we did. Thursay we walked the Brooklyn Bridge. Friday we went to the Statue of Libert, Ellis Island, Ground Zero, Grand Central Station, Museum of Modern Art, Rockefellar Center, Times Square and Wicked. Saturday Staten Island Ferry, Empire State Building, Yankees and Mets game, China Town, Little Italy and Times Square at Midnight. Sunday we went to the American Museum of Natural History, Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Temple in Manhatten. We also saw a lot in between. My next blog will hopefully cover Washington DC. Enjoy.

Home at Last

Deborah figures it has been about six weeks since we had a week-end to ourselves. We took advantage of it and worked on the deck. Deborah and Lorna helped (probably did most of the work) and by about 9:30 pm we got most of the deck done. We just have the railing to do then we have it done. It is nice to go out our bedroom door now.

We also made a few changes in our home. We added a love seat to our bedroom. I am not sure how long it will last. We also sold the couch down stairs and bought a new leather couch to take its place. We also took my chair down stairs to be with the couch.

I am still working on the pictures of New York and Washington DC.

Reed Family Reunion

Over the weekend of June 5-7 we had a Reed Family reunion up in Island Park at Deborah's parents cabin. Although it rained most of the time we all had a good time. Nearly everyone was there, we missed Krystle, Connie and Ryan.

Friday evening we went for a walk and took the go-cart, scooter and motorcycles. It was about the only time we had no rain and everyone had a good time.

Saturday it rained on and off all day long. In the morning we had a cross-word puzzle contest, females against males. I am not sure who won that one. Later in the morning a group of us went into West Yellowstone - some opted to go into the Park, while the boys stayed back and swam. Later in the afternoon several of us canoed down the river from Big Springs to Macks Inn. It rained off and on the whole trip and rained constantly the last 20-30 minute. Needless to say we got pretty drenched during that canoe ride.

Sunday morning we woke up to snow - snow in June. Some went to church and everyone left for home that day. It was a good time together and we all enjoyed it.

We also had Kirsten and Jonas stay with us for a week which was fun for all.

Next post will be from our trip to New York City and Washington DC. I know some of youn want to see picture but it will be hard to go through over 1,000 pictures to get down to just a few. I hope to get that done in the next few days.
