Wednesday in New York

After a pretty sunset one night....we woke bright and early next morning, and decided to go for a walk with Mum to the train early...
Grandma put this photo here to show you where I like to keep my finger sometimes....a convenient parking spot I think!
The skies were very pretty yesterday morning when we were out!
We went looking for a new grocery store Grandma heard about, up at the bottom of the steps to Isham Park....
we passed the number one train line, where it comes closer to Broadway, or is Broadway coming closer to it....that might be the case perhaps...Broadway is a long meandering road that saunters the length of Manhattan Island, and crosses most of the roads...it starts off sort of more in the east down the bottom and ends up on the western side at the northern tip where we are!
we saw some lovely blue irises in the bottom bit of Isham Park....
we passed the Catholic church and convent....

where a wreath was laid on Memorial Day...(public holiday on last Monday)

a doggie treating us with ignore...!!
and a Liffey 2 Irish pub....
with beautiful baskets of flowers...they looked very pretty...I hope they were real....
with pretty garden beds outside as well!
We didn't bother walking up the steps to Isham Park, we were up there the other day with Mummies new babies for 2008 group. There are less steps the other way that we go....
There was a sports day on over at the park yesterday too!
the tulip tree was out...a bit later here than in Richmond,

the roses have been just lovely...these ones are at the Catholic church....


Today, Grandma and Dad watched a bit of the tennis at the French Open....
so did I.....
well, in between opening and shutting the doors for dad...aren't I getting very helpful now Dad? Every time Dad opens a cupboard door to get his tools for something...I am right there behind him to help!
so after we watched a bit of tennis, Dad and Grandma decided to take me down to see the ducks! Mum was very proud of one of my first words..."duck'...I spoke it very well....but then I decided to call them "duts'....cos there's lots of them, not just one!
the gardens are very nice going down to the park....

Grandma likes to see the new growth on the pine trees...she says it reminds her just a bit of the funny shape of the monkey puzzle tree she saw in Ireland one year! Just a little bit?
the ranger quarters down on the peninsular were looking very tidy today.....there were lots of picnics and birthdays and barbeques there the other day when we walked down with our friends....
the geese (duts) were being tidy too!
It was very low tide...so they were having a good feed!
we like to stop here every day and just take in the pretty view....
dad and me....
when we got home, Mummy came home from work.....so we went for another walk...I like to walk her around the apartment...I don't think she gets enough exercise at work! Huh?
be careful down the steps Mum....today I got the giggles and I thought it was very funny walking Mummy around backwards.
I am very strong now, and can tell them where to go with my strong arms....

Ok Liam...lets have a cuddle now....
and let Dad watch a bit more of the tennis hey?

Night night everyone...they put me in my cot to go to bed after dinner...sorry I have to go to sleep now, I am very tired....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
