New York City (x 4)

Kathy, our sons and I traveled around New York City often when we lived in Virginia. Now in Maine, we are six hours away. Our son has provided the ride into the city in 2007, 2017,18, and this last weekend.

A special rendezvous with our Kansas granddaughter. She and her dance company danced in Times Square. After we toured the observation deck at the Empire State Building and ate at Grand Central Station.

Travel and return.

A drive is on our schedule today. Rainy.

First up is weekly trash duties followed by our host responsibility at THE Point.

Pickle Ball yesterday. Twenty were there.

A tourist stop - Fort William Cape Elizabeth

We take visitors to the two hundred year old light house. Today we went alone. Fog obsured the view at 100 yards!

We also walked towards the far park boundaries and saw ( up close) various abutting ocean front properties.

We have lived here thirty years and this was our first walk to this portion of the park.

Telling their story. - Sunday 4/14/2019

Go to the East Point APP or site and listen to the youth stories.

Today six students gave their story. Powerful each!

Decade birthday!

We each get less than eleven decade birthdays.
Yes one out of xxxx reaches age one hundred and ten or more.
Out of one hundred thousand people how many reach age 110?
In this day each of us can research and find the answer.

I recall standing in line for food at a Friday fly-in lunch.
I  stood with a man age 97 at that time.
He later passed at age 101.

He walked to work often after the age of 95.

Lesson learned - walk and then walk even more.
There is a decade birthday tomorrow. 

On the fly? or Write and edit?

For this blog, weeklyabcxyz, I  try to write  each week.

Should I edit?

Yes.

Do I?

Seldom.

In life (you, I, we) often speak or act without editing.  Hours, days, months later we pause and think.  We ask, "had I swapped one word for another the outcome may have been mellow rather than harsh."

Heavenly Father, please edit my words early.
