Wednesday night

This is the sign which my grandfather put up over the gates of his apartment building here in Manhattan:




That's the kind of man he was.


We have been spending the last couple of days walking the downtown neighbourhoods, getting a feel for the different architecture and people. It is, however, very COLD. It's so cold that we need to stop every 20 minutes for a hot chocolate. Bliss.


Tomorrow morning we'll be driving up to Boston to reunite with my brother and his family. I still can't quite believe that this is all real.


Oh, and next week, I'm planning to meet blackbird for lunch! I may need to take photos of the several potential outfits I could wear and then you can vote on them, hehe. It's not every day that I get to meet blog royalty.

    I think you know how much I love your Grandpa even though we never ever met.


    And don't worry, BB has already been briefed re checking you for clean underwear. I know it's a weak point for you.

    That is a wonderful sign!
    (And, it may be too cold to take off your coat - I'll never even get to see the outfit. Sigh.)

    Love like that is impossible to restrain - it spills over from one generation to the next which is why I see it in you.
