Brooklyn Visits
NYC Trip
The main impetus for traveling to NYC (which I was due for a trip to see my friends and daughter anyway) was the loss of my sweet friend Michael Demarsico as I mentioned in this blog earlier in the year. His husband had this celebration of life, so I don’t want to say that it was sad to go to his memorial, but it certainly was exactly as he would have wanted, down the last song that played and the snacks and venue that he chose. What a guy!
My daughter’s birthday happened to be around the same time, so of course I extended my trip and got to see many of the people I love and miss, as well as show Shando my old stomping grounds. I have a number of postings, but here are some of the random shots from the visit, including the trip to the High Line Park with my friend Carol.
Alexandra’s 26th Birthday in NYC
Times Square
My cane certainly didn’t keep anyone from running into me, but a lot of fun still.
Washington Square Park
Spring came very late this year in New York. There were hardly any blooms and the trees were still bare. There were even brisk days to come during the days we were there in late April. Still, it was wonderful to be near my old stomping grounds.

Cousin Ron visits from Missouri
Like me, he’s a native Californian, but he is in the Midwest now. It was great catching up with him and introducing him to Shando.
Christmas with Family in Granite Bay
Meeting the Biaforas
After knowing my mom’s cousin Ferruccio, I think for the first time I got to meet some of his sisters and their husbands. After having some issues with communication, we were heading to the local supermarket near the Coliseum and actually heard someone call out my name! They thought I would be heavier because they probably saw pictures of me from years ago, but it was indeed me, so we had a lovely evening catching up, talking about Mom who died last year, etc.
