Today Seru and I walked along the Hudson River in Tarrytown, New York. They built a nice, new neat path along the big, wide river. The day was hot, but the wind cooled us. We walked here two days ago and had a snack at a place called the Lighthouse Cafe. Seru had soft chocolate ice cream and I had a chocolate chip croissant. Wie both drank Raspberry iced tea and sat outside on the comfortable bench.
But today we just walked and listened to the waves and watched the slow-seeming traffic on the Tappan Zee bridge which crosses over the Hudson. From our point of viewing when we looked south, the air was so clear we could see the skyline of New York City in the distance.
This was Mother's Day so the park was more busy. But not too busy. There were plenty of benches to sit and relax in. We sat in the pleasant silence and enjoyed the freedom of being out on this special day to celebrate all mothers, and step-mothers, and women who are like mothers to all of their friends and relatives. Seru is such a woman. I am lucky to be with her and walk with her and watch the beauty around us. Sometimes she takes photographs for her own blog. They are simple sights of the area we live in; such as the bridge, or the local flowers, or the shining river, or the old lighthouse on the shore. She took these photos the last time. So today her camera was quiet.
Later in the day we ate at a restaurant called TGIF which is an expression in the U.S. which stands for"Thank God It's Friday". This means that working people are happy the long week is over. We each ate steak. Seru ate sirloin. I ate flatiron.
This restaurant is not expensive and never too busy. We were full after we ate so we skipped dessert. And went home to our small, but comfortable condo.
TFL. Thanks for listening.
