Etiquette

I don't think I've quite mastered the etiquette of rudeness.....but I do know how to use salt and how to break bread.

NYC Photos Day 2

Photos from NYC Day One

YES!

The New York Rangers play at 3:30 Sunday afternoon!  I thought it was at 8:00 pm and therefore impossible for me to go as our plane is leaving at 8:00 pm.  Our hotel guy helped me get tickets!  THIRD ROW TICKETS!  I'm so excited I cannot stand myself.

Me and Laura.  Everyone is excited for me.  Now,
as long as the taxi can get me to the airport
on time for our 8:00 pm flight home!

NYC Bus Tours

NYC bus tours is rubbing my face in the fact that the Rangers' playoff schedule isn't fitting our vacation schedule.  A lot of the buses are covered in Ranger pics.

NYC Hotdogs

One of the main things I wanted to do in NYC was to eat a hotdog on the street. Well our taxi driver who drove us from the airport squished that plan.  He said no eating hot dogs from street vendors.  They don't ever change anything out.  The water is put in the morning and stays the same all day and is nasty.  We said "What if we get there at 9:00 am for a hot dog"?  Our taxi driver said "Do NOT eat a hotdog off the street".  Tragically disappointed over the Rangers game not working out with scheduling and now this.......oh well................least I'm seeing NYC.

To appease my distress I ate a hotdog at Ellen's Stardust diner. Pretty Good! The wait staff, who are Broadway hopefuls, sing and puts on shows.

Subway

Rode the Subway some this week.  Funny thing though.  No one was selling any sandwiches anywhere.....  

New York City

This time tomorrow I will be in New York City!!!  Any suggestions on must things to do?

Chris's Momma

Here you go!  Several have been asking the new rehab address to send Chris's mom a card.  She throughly loves getting cards from family and friends.  The address is Select Speciality Hospital, 1901 Clinch Ave, Emma Lee Hull, Room 431, Knoxville, TN  37916.  

Thanks for continuing to think about her and your prayers. 

Retired Numbers

How does a rookie hockey player make sure to get a number that if traded someday another team has that number available so that if someday he is a legend his number will be retired?

Volunteer Breeders Classic

Chris won all three open divisions of the Tennessee Reining Horse Association  Volunteer Breeders Classic four year old Derby riding Landon and Cindy Backus four year old gelding Nu Magnum Chex or nickname "Twenty."

"Twenty" seems to like his prizes!

NYR Stanley Cup Playoffs

Nooooooooo!!!!!! Going on about my fifth vacation in my whole entire 41 years of life and the NYR Stanley Cup game at home is Wednesday night.....the night before we get there.  Then there is a game on Sunday night if needed, night we leave........  Ugh.

Car tag I got in 1994.  I also ordered the whole
NYR Stanley Cup win collectors set--video, hat, etc.

(This disappointment is just one more NHL tragedy this year.  First the lockout. Now this.  But number one on my list is the Nashville Predators not making the playoffs.)

Squirrel trying to beat traffic....

Little squirrel running across the road, if you are going to commit to something, commit.  Don't stop half way......

Roses

Rose I started last Fall.  Not very big yet.  Probably take couple of years to be decent size.  Going to plant soon.  Hope it doesn't die!

Finches and Hummingbirds

Finches and hummingbirds are here.  And buddy, they both eat a lot!
