Judy you poor thing.. It seems that you had quite a day. I don't miss alternate side of the street parking. I got my share of tickets.. btw go fight the judge lol teasing.... Sorry to hear about the birds but glad that you got them into the cage , your daughters suggestion was a good one....
Sometimes it seems like a chain of events when the day starts off wrong. I hope after you left TRU that you went along the bike path by the water, you did go by Bay Pkway? and enjoyed the day with them. When I lived in Bklyn I would go down by the water and just walk or bike ride and look out into the ocean so relaxing.. The bridge is so pretty and it was a beautiful day..
I hope tomorrow is a better day...
