A Respite

We went as a family of four to New York for the weekend, building a trip around Ned’s grandmother’s memorial service. I have not put in photos of Grandma O’s service. Instead I have made a Tabblo of our time on a small vacation as just four of us. I had a good time, as you can see, but I did feel that Nat really should have come. There was no reason to leave him at the House. Originally we did that so that he could still go to Social Group Friday night (when we had to leave for NYC), but there was some kind of screw-up and he did not end up going to Social Group!! 🙁

I have been having a very rough time with my grief. I write post after post and I do not publish them for some reason. I just can’t at this time. Suffice it to say that this move-out of Nat’s feels like an amputation. I am talking to Ned about what to do about this, what we might be able to adjust so that it would not feel as raw to me.

Anyway, here are pictures of our weekend, the high points of just walking around, Tribeca to Uptown, eating and observing with (most of) my darlings.


Tabblo: NYC with the boys

hey that one where you have the pickle in your mouth is that the place with the humungous sandwiches? It looks so familiar I think we were there, I think I have a pic of my D sitting on the windowsill there…if I can find it I’ll send it your way.

Hi Eileen,
That deli is Ben Ash Deli, right across the street from Carnegie Deli. They both make crazy big sandwiches, heart attack specials!

New York is my favorite city! I will be taking my son there for the first time next year – he’ll be amazed. He’s already memorizing the Fodor’s guide. I was there last month to see Duncan Sheik at Town Hall. Superb.
