Two or more memorable things happened yesterday as Katey, Tom, Jamie and Buster dba Charley and I made our way around the City:
(i) I had almost given up on our gaining admission to Gramercy Square Park- the private park in the neighborhood that denies keys to all but long-time residents whose houses border the Park and guests of the Gramercy Park Hotel. As we walked by at the start of the day's adventures, there were two lucky Hotel dwellers waiting inside the Park for a bell-hop to come and free them. (That's how it works).We jumped into action, and pleaded for admission, imploring the sympathetic fellow to bend the rules and explaining that Charley's dream since birth was to be pushed across the Park in his Pram. It worked and we got into "the Garden of Eden" without the preliminaries. What a great place!
(ii) A further Gramercy Square Park story;
Once inside, I convinced Tom Treloar to stick his head into a hole in the giant,ancient Oak tree that shades the surroundings and there was a squirrel nestled inside, sound asleep- Like a Chip & Dale cartoon. I realize that people may doubt this story, but Pictures will be attached to a future blog, because Tom took two snapshots (true)- one of the little creature's eyes slowly opening and the second of our furry frend scampering toward Tom's face.
More Park stories if we ever get in again.
Clay and Buster
