karl and sandy only live a couple of blocks from the hotel. so sunday morning after their walk with ray we all went to a diner they like for breakfast. they said it was only a short distance away. well, since they have been walking the streets of new york for 6 years now, my short distance is different than theirs. but it felt good to be out and getting some exercise after 3 1/2 days on the train.


martha and ray started this thing on the train. while sitting at the tables they would kiss every once in a while. so jerry and i started kissing after they did saying “we can do that too”. so now it’s this thing, some one starts its and everybody joins in. here are karl and sandy joing in. uhoh, karl can i use this image of you. sorry i didn’t have you sign that release form yet. will i have to pay a royalty fee? i don’t think people will know who you are though. haha.

martha was getting complimented on her purple hair walking back to the hotel.
she did a fantastic job of walking that far that day with her walker. ray ordered this scooter for her for the rest of the trip, so sunday she used that. or course jerry and ray had to try it first.



martha got on it and away we went to central park. another short distance they said.

martha got a lot of attention because we were all taking pictures and everyone wondered who she was. but she just kept rolling along leaving us all in the dust.
it was all going so well until ray decided to see what a yellow lever on the back did. well it lost it’s power when he touched it. oh no, did he break it? jerry got down with ray and started checking things out. this is the first time martha has used one of these. but you know men, they love to get their hands dirty. jerry does anyway.
so they got it fixed pretty easily. there were some tense moments, but it turned out well. martha got back in the drivers seat and started rolling along again.

stay tuned for central park
love, jilly
You bring things alive
Kisses, compliments on purple hair, hero mechanics, lead foot driver (Marty) and Central Park too. Almost too good to believe! Keep having fun. Love to hear about it.
So glad you are having so much fun in NY with Karl and Sandy. Looks like the scooter is not only a boon for Martha, but fun for the guys, too. Making great memories is what you guys do best. Keep having fun.
Kissing and scooter mishaps. What a way to start your Manhattan adventure!
Just like a bunch of kids running around loose in the city!
