This time to meet up with my friend Robert Cohen. We met near where he lives, an area I’m not very familiar with. Above: Subway station at 96th Street and Broadway.

Robert in what he refers to as his secret garden.

Robert had to leave because of a prior commitment. I went to get a bite of lunch at the nearby Metro Diner.

Up at the lake

Jasmine and my brother-in-law, Roy were visiting. Roy had not been in the New York area for quite some time, and Jasmine had not been here since my wife, Eirah (her mother) passed away almost a year ago. In particular they wanted to see the memorial garden near the entrance to our lake side community. We had donated two of Eirah’s many roses to the Garden Club (Eirah was a very active member) and they’d planted them in this small garden and placed a stone bearing her name.

To our surprise one of the roses was blooming.
