Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Good morning, Vagabonds.>>>>>>I’ll have to get back to my story soon. Hope you all remember the verse. Next will be my life during that time. Shoudn’t take up much space.
MontanaLady, I tell my friends about my Comics friends that were so concerned about me. I show them Florchi’s card, too. I love all you folks. I often wish i could communicate more with many of you.
MONTANA LADY: How wonderful that your medical report gives you a clean bill of health!
The Bronx tour yesterday was very nice. We rode in bus that looked like an old fashioned trolley, starting at the art deco Bronx County Courthouse, going down the Grand Concourse (the Champse Elyssey of the Bronx, where I also live) and went through the newly-reconstructed South Bronx with beautiful town houses. Then we went through a surprisingly large amount of greeneryas the Bronx is loaded with wide open parkland. After that we spent a lot of time in Woodlawn Cemetery where a lot of famous people, Celia Cruz, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia,Herman Melville, etc. are buried. Beautiful masoleums and manicured gravesites.
After that, we again went down the Grand Concourse, past Edgar Allen Poe’s cottage as well as the building where I live. I forgot to bring my camera, but my friend took a few photoes from his cellphone; I sent a few of them to David’s email.
This Friday I plan to go to a memorial service at the Turkish Consulate for the Crimean Tatar genocide (another WWII genocide, but the Soviets were the bad guys.
Then Saturday is the Turkish Day Parade with a lot of colorful Turkish music.
Sunday is the Jewish Genealogy meeting featuring Galician (southern Poland, not northern Spain) – my mother’s parents are Galitzianers) recors. I may meet a lady there who emailed me that she may be a distant cousin if we can figure out the link.
I hope I have the energy to do all these things. At my age I can only do one activity in a day and this is 3 days in a row.
Great info, Arye. I didn’t know about all the parklands in the Bronx. Good history all around us! Thanks for sharing.
We’re busy starting up our greenhouse. My Mountain Man cleaned it all out yesterday, and added a winter’s worth of compost to the bottom area. Then filled all the boxes with new potting soil for my herbs.
Today I will plant the lettuce and spinach, and as many of the herbs that I can do. I still do not have full use of my fingers. They are still numb from chemo. (but getting better) We have a cold spell for the next 3 days, so we won’t set in our tomato plants until Sunday. I just love working with the soil and watching the plants grow.
Next week we will work on the outdoor garden. We have deer fencing around a pretty good sized patch where we will grow zucchini and all kinds of peppers and green beans and anything else that tickles our fancy. Unfortunately, we have a short growing season. Everything needs to be harvested by September or so. First snow flies around the 15th. So, we choose veggies that are quick to mature.
@ML, glad to hear about the greenhouse activity- I rememberlast year when you mentioned using some of your harvest- when you were cooking up some good stuff- and thought we’dall take a shuttle bus to your place for a “taste test” :-) :-)

A wonderful, but tiring afternoon.
