NEW YORK CITY DAY 1 PART 2

New Blog Site:    roseytosey43.blogspot.com


Everything's go'in to be just fine. Found a Whole Food's Market.




Finally made it to the "New Museum"


on the Bowery.
It's kinda like the Guggenheim only taller,


and downtown-----but.......
if you donate enough money they let you


paint the elevators any color you want.





These are huge and take up a whole wall in a dark room.




This is huge and multi-layered. I said to the guard "my grandson made one of those

with 4 cans of playdoh the other day". Very seriously he said "How long did it take him".
I replied "20 minutes, he's 3". He stroked his beard, looked at the floor and didn't say a word. It was then that I knew he spoke limited English or had a really bad

But I did love this painting. It is huge, about the size of our living room windows.

Now this is truly scary. We didn't just run onto this place---we

actually went looking for it. I had read a piece in the Times about
it and thought Dad might enjoy it.

This is the guy who guards the door when Billy won't be back
for an hour. "No, you can't go in" but we still came too close

No Idea What This Is Suppose To Be........


If This Steamer Trunk Could Talk...This on the other hand---It's bad enough that the dog is stuffed

but it has blood on it's mouth, dripping from it's tongue and
on it's paw. It's just gross.




Notice how I segway right into something more pleasant.

Dad picked this dress out for my 16 year old brain.



Two cute Elders in Sara Roosevelt Park. One from Carlsbad, Calif and

the other from Mexico. It was the one from Carlsbad that was complaining
he couldn't find good Mexican Food in New York. We directed him to
Tortilla Flats on West 12th Street. I wish he'd been more impressed than

he seemed to be
