We again sat in Riverside Park on Saturday.
As you can see, above, Canadians NATALIE & GORDON, visiting from Ontario, sat with us before jogging along the Hudson River later that evening. We were also joined by Gary's flutist friend, LAURA, and her farmer daughter, MIRIAM, who stopped in while bicycling up to Inwood NY.
As for SUNDAY...
Gary's mom, ELAINE, drove in from the far reaches of Queens to sit with us in the Park!
Doesn't Elaine look great? Really lifts the spirits to have his mom visit.
Another VIP visitor who dropped in this afternoon is comedian, author, and long-standing friend of Gary's... Folks, put your hands together for... Ivy!! (www.ivyeisenberg.com)
Gary's leukemia symptoms are still present. Walking remains difficult, and he still has swelling and overall discomfort. Thanks to all who visited, called, e-mailed, FaceTimed - you made an otherwise long day zoom by with pleasure!
Tomorrow, Gary meets the radiation oncologist at Sloan-Kettering at 1pm. Fingers are crossed!
Great photos! Thanks for sharing them. Glad the weekend was hospital-free. Thinking good thoughts for tomorrow's (Monday's) meeting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter!
DeleteWhat a great set of photos! Glad Gary and you had a nice string of visitors to keep you company this weekend (including us, of course, ha ha!) You did an excellent job posting photos, btw, even without my tutelage. ;) See you soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Seems like I'll have to come visit again now that pictures are being taken. I'm hoping to actually, but now I have a cold -- so I have a feeling you won't want me. I'll be there in spirit. My thoughts and good vibes are with you.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Joanie
Get well soon and come visit, again!

DeleteHi Gary & Brian... so great to see the beautiful photos! Gary you look really good, and I'm so glad to hear that you're able to begin treatments again. Aunt Elaine looks beautiful as always, and Brian always has a such a bright sparkle in his eye! We are all thinking about you often with love and positivity here. Your newest cousin/niece "Penny" has been keeping us soooo busy, she certainly is the craziest tool in the shed! Love from the Pian clan xoxo
