PICTURE PAST DAYS

Figured out how to download from the camera!
But it doesn't always work.  In fact, after a day of successful downloads, it fails, and I had to force quit to continue.  This new rig is also indicating I need a blue tooth device in order to have sound.  If it isn't one thing, it's another.
Ch-ch-ch-changes in the virtual world can be daunting.

Friday the 6th
Dearest of my dear friends
N. A.

 On her way from one State to another, she arrived for breakfast on twenty first Street at seven.  Then we walked to Union Square where an obliging film student snapped us in the Gandhi Garden saying our goodbyes.

Amy Ernst treated to an early supper at 'Friend of A Farmer' on Irving Place after we met in the afternoon to pick up the new computer she had 'Tekserve' wipe clean to transfer my data from the old rig.  It's run by the son of a farmer, and is pricey , but mighty tasty. 

Then to my place to set up

An hour and a half of testing and trying, and we were both exhausted.

Charming child

Ecstatic dancer

Barefoot poet

Singing Along
Two minutes and not great video,
just to remember the feeling

Outside

on a break to catch the sunset

See the young white peacock?

There are also two elderly regular peacocks on the property.  They each have their own 'houses', are fed twice daily, wander freely, and are never confined.  It's an amazing place, with many gardens and I'll return to photograph another day.

Tuesday the 10th

State University of New York 

College of Optometry Eye Center

44 West 42nd Street

 Last check up for the right eye lens replacement was several hours with lots or wait time to stare, temporarily semi-blinded, at "Arthur"

All is well

New close up glasses prescription won't be fulfilled until the left eye lens is replaced, which is dependent on raising another $500 up front co-pay funds.  Hoping to manage that before Summer turns to Fall.

I enjoyed the flowers in planters across 42nd Street as I wended my way back home to nap till the dilation effect wore off.

magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live
for others, they will live for you."
