Beauty in a Big City

 It’s been a very long time since I last made an entry on this blog.  Mostly, because I have been very busy with school, work, and home stuff.  Actually, as you can see my whole life has been busy.  When I have some free time, which is not very often, I find myself playing games on Facebook.  I am so addicted to bejeweled blitz.  It’s this fantastic game of jewel matching.  Each round is only 1 minute, however it can turn into hours.  I usually tell myself “just one more time, just once more”.  Yes!! You see addicting.  I really need to stop playing on that stupid thing so much.  Maybe it’s just a great distraction from all of the worrisome, stressful events that are happening in my life.

Mom had yet another surgery this week to debulk some more of the tissue from previous reconstructive surgeries. Although it went well, I never take for granted that things will go along smoothly.  Her past history and track record speaks for itself.  She is just prone to infections and every time they do any surgery on her mouth her risk is quite high.  So now I get to worry some more until she has a follow-up visit on 7/8/11 and Dr. Urken say’s “it looks good, I think we are making progress”.  I hate this long delay and playing the waiting game.  I will just be keeping a very close eye on the area until then.

While in NYC, after mom’s surgery and the chance to make sure she was ok.  Dad & I went for a walk.  Who knew all of these beautiful flowers blossomed in NYC?  I took some pictures, because 1^st they were beautiful and 2^nd I couldn’t believe NYC had such wonderful flowers.   Most of our days were spent sitting in either the room we rented or in the hospital room.  So during the evenings we would walk and since it does not get dark until after 9pm, we had some nice evenings to enjoy the city.  We made our way home today and I have to say, “It’s good to be home”.  I don’t’ mind going down to the city, but I love being home.

While down in the city, I’ve decided to try my photography skills, not only at taking pictures of flowers but also the buildings.  There was a building that was right outside our windows.  Yeah! Instead of seeing loving green grass, trees and fields, you get brick after brick and rod iron fencing.   

                         
                             

 So I tried to see the beauty in the architecture. 
 Do you see the same beauty? I especially love 
 the one with the bike. 
                    

That’s all for now, I have a phone call to make and I have to finish unpacking.
