Still Summer here in Manhatan

Weather remains lovely here in Manhattan.  Up to 83 degrees today (Wednesday).
I meant to tell you the story Hannah told us the other night.  She took a cab up to our apartment on Sunday night when she and Franky were coming for dinner.  Franky rode his bike as he had to go visit a friend to finish an assignment after dinner. He bikes everywhere.  Anyway,  Hannah is standing on the road with her hand in the air - as New Yorkers do when they are hailing a cab.  While waiting for the cab,  a guy on a motorbike rides by and high fives her.  She laughed so hard.  Only in New York.  I say only to a cute teenage girl.
Well,  yesterday I walked to the post office at 3rd and 54th.  I then walked along 55th on the way to Madison.  I had forgotten my camera so I need to do that walk again as I did see a couple of things I would like to photograph.  I will explain when I actually get the pictures taken.  Walked up to Madison and 59th to Crate and Barrel - did a little bit of damage in there.  I did not think they were in Canada but the salesgirl tells me they are in Toronto and Calgary.  Hope they make it to Vancouver one day.
This is a running day for Terry - he alternates between running and walking after work every day.  When he returns home we have beef stroganoff for dinner - reminds me of the 80's.  We don't have too many pots  and pans here so I am looking for 1 or 2 pot meals to cook.  We "skype" with Roision and watch "Glee"
I think we have become "Gleeks".  Just found out that "Fin" is from Victoria - who knew???? Loved their rendition of "New York".

Wednesday, as I said, is a beautiful day.  Terry goes off to work - he has found someone in administration here to argue with - just trying to improve patient care.  I take myself off for a walk uptown.   I end up at 87th and Lexington.  On the way I check out a few consignment stores.  I thought they would have great things being on the "Upper East Side" - no such luck.  I come home empty handed.    I am having a quiet afternoon doing some quilting.

Talk to you later -
