So just got back from a trip up to NYC to see the kids and a quicky to New Hampshire to see my brother and his partner.  Ahhhh there's nothing quite like those small NY apts and Reed told me that was the biggest one they saw.  Anyway here's a pic of Reed and Jade in the NY and one of me in Myrtle Beach SC.

 WOW Been awhile.  Kids are doing fine.  Both have jobs they like.  Doc says I need a new knee and it's only time until I decide to get one.  Wasn't sure how I was walking as well as I am now.  Have had a health "joke" played on me by the powers that be.  Felt a possible abscess in my nose a few weeks ago.  A week or so later I've got Rudolph's nose sitting on mine.  Looked hilarious.  My doctor took care of it more or less which is what you see.  My apologies for not thinking about getting a pic at it's zenith.

 

Oh the things one finds when one goes rummaging.  Hope Reed's kids see these.

 

So ... got a phone call from Reed and it seems things are going satisfactorily so far.  Above is the living room of their apt.  A bit sparse but livable.  Evidently Jade's working as a bartender and Reed's got a job in a warehouse.  Somewhat physical and tiring but he doesn't go to the gym now to work out, just home to sleep.  

Slowly cleaning and finding things.  Here are my family wallet photos from about 20 years ago.

 

 Jade and Reed are slowly getting adjusted to NYC.  Better they than I.

I Am Bereft

Today Reed and Jade left for new jobs in The Big Apple. Jade's Aunt is some kind of Events Planner in NYC and she wants them to come and help her. They're all excited but first they have to move to New York and that starts today. I took two pictures. One putting the three uncooperative cats into the back seet and then a final wave goodbye.
