Happy,happy,happy anniversary Patsy to you and your Hubby. Next month we will celebrate our 57th! While waiting for Black Book and 16 I am reading some Baldacchi. He is v e r y d r a w n out in his writing but the stories are good.

Hey blog supervisors. What happened to the field where we could change the Font color etc:?

Hey booklaw. Thank you for the quick response. Makes sense!

Oh, the memories of "Anniversary Day" in Brooklyn. The Parade, the dignitaries, the crowds in the park etc;. When we got back from the park we had a ball at the Church. It was headlined by ice cream bricks from Droges in Bay Ridge. Of course soft drinks like "Dr Browns Cel-Ray. Our Church was originally "Dutch Reformed". and we had a moch up Windmill on wheels. I got to ride it one year with our little "Dutch Boy" outfits. Oh, the memories.. It was all covered very well by the good old "Brooklyn Eagle"/

I know that "Jim Gordon" was the Letter Carrier for 12th St between 5th & 6th Aves in the 40's & 50's. Did not know the extent of his route. You might have luck calling "Van Brunt Station" on 9th street. Hey Patsy. I am having trouble getting Patterson's latest so I started on Sanford's novels. He is a little rough on the language and his stories all take place in Minnesota but they are good cops & robbers stories.

Hello all, Little problem with my Doctors very important office visit scheduled for next week. They tried to put me off for a month but I worked on it and got one for 8:30 tomorrow am. Think it is straightened out now. I finally got (16 by Paterson) It is excellent so far. I have also been promised "Black Book". We had a ferocious storm here yesterday afternoon. Building across from us had bad damage. Ceilings down etc:. We are okay but those people who had the ceilings come down have had their apts declared temporarily uninhabitable. Management is putting them up in other apts and hotels. All we got was some water on our Lanai.

Hi friends Happy Father's Day to you dads out There. Enjoy your special day!! Warren, Glad you got those books. I enjoyed them immensely. ON list now for Patterson's "Murder Games". When I return the previous Book, I put myself on list for next one Out. BBQing in backyard today with family. It's beautiful here in NY! Not too hot High 80 with a great breeze. Wish It would stay this way. My youngest daughter left for vacation In PR this morning. Warren Glad you guys made it thru the Storm ok. Stay well, people.

quote: ''Our Church was originally "Dutch Reformed" The church on New Lots Avenue in ENY where I grew was also DRC but no longer has the name 'Dutch' in it: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cd/New_Lots_Community_Church_jeh.jpg/1200px-New_Lots_Community_Church_jeh.jpg Don't know why the name was dropped. But one thing's for sure - the institution has been a great community resource for many decades and remains so to this day. I hope everyone here has a wonderful Summer!

Good Morning from Staten Island Have a great day.
