Friday Day 25

So we are off again on a wonderful adventure....Joann and I woke up at 5:15 and left the apartment a half hour later to walk across the park, to see Sheryl Crow.....GMA Summer Concert series. This was a totally differnt experience than seeing Lady GaGa. There were very few people there at 6:10. so we quickly found a place close to the stage. The place gradually started to fill up, but we were set. Sheryl came out early to do sound checks...so she basically performed from about 7:15 on and off til 9.....At first she came out in jeans....but she got really warm and even asks the crew to shut off some of the lights...One of her people came out with a huge fan and was fanning her,,,,but I think she thought that was weird because she kept making fun of him...it was cute...Later she came out in an orange dress that I think was much cooler. She played a nice mixture of old and new songs from her most recent album. 100 miles from Memphis, which is where she grew up. After the concert we went and had breakfast at the Boathouse...one of my favorite places to eat in Central Park...a yummy eggwhite omlet with spinach and feta, and coffee....perfect..a nice walk back to the apartment so Joann could get ready to go give a talk at one of the local hospitals and then she was off to Albany...great time with the sista..
I started some laundry...sheets and towels again because Jimmy and Leighann were scheduled to come in later that evening..I also ran to the corner fruit stand for some bananas and blueberries...
They arrived close to 7, so we headed up Amsterdam for dinner...We ate at an Italian restaurant called Lisca....it was really delicious...but while we were dining a storm came thru.....we watched the terrenticial downpour and wondered how long we would be wholed up there since we neglected to bring umbrellas.There was quite a light show outside........Jimmy checked his phone and found out there was a tonado watch in effect.....wild....well the storm only lasted about a half hour and then we were fine leaving and actually went for a nice walk since the storm had cooled things off.............sat up visiting for awhile ...then off to bed :) til tomorrow.
