Grammy's Old Building

On Friday night Nick showed mommy and daddy a note he printed from the computer.

Those were a lot of words! Nick is happy that spring is coming, and he is always talking about visiting grammy's old building in New Rochelle.

Nick also showed mommy a picture he printed from the computer. It is people riding their bikes across a bridge. It is the Pelham Bay Bridge, and that is the bridge that we used drive on to get to grammy's building. Mommy can't believe that Nick still remembers the way to grammy's house.

Nick travels the route all the time on Google Maps, so that must be why he remembers!

King David Manor and The Allegria

For a long time, there was a yellow and orange building in Long Beach called The King David Manor. Nick loved that building, and he used to paint it all the time. Sometimes when we were in the car Nick would say "yellow orange building" right before we drove past.

This is a picture of Nick from 2006.

This is a new picture of Nick in front of the same building. The outside colors have changed, now it is called The Allegria Hotel.

Mommy and Nick walked around the building. Nick wanted to go inside so we walked into the lobby and the first thing we saw was a sign.

Mommy said, "I guess you are not the only person who loved The King David Manor, lots of people want to remember the famous yellow and orange building of Long Beach."

Nick and Nana

One day, mommy was cleaning up papers in the living room. Mommy found pictures of buildings that Nick printed from his computer. Sometimes Nick prints pictures of buildings in Long Beach or New York City. But this building was from a different place. It was a building in Queens, New York. This is where Nana lives.

Nana is mommy's grandma. Sometimes mommy takes Nick to visit Nana. Mommy says "please do good sitting and quiet voice so I can visit Nana, we will not stay long."

We take the elevator to the 10th floor. We usually find Nana sitting on a chair with other people. Nick is always a good boy and gives Nana a kiss hello. This picture was taken on Nick's last visit in December. Mommy was so happy they were both smiling for the camera.

And mommy is so proud that Nick knows how to find Nana's building on the computer!
