In New York City for Catherine (Murphy) to get a pre-op examination for knee surgery.]]> Bathroom in Starbucks, Yonkers, NY, Pit Stop on the way home from seeing the open studios on Governor's Island, one of which was Ben Keddy's]]> We went to Cathy's parents for Christmas at 5 Bennett Avenue, Lexington, Massachusetts. Scott called us when he also arrived in Lexington for a Christmas family visit. Cathy asked him to come over to get his Christmas present, a bourbon pecan cake which she had made.]]> Fred came over to meet Neil at our place. He got here about 11:10 p.m. Cathy had already gone to bed.]]> He came over to pick up Morgan (see entry: Seth, Sidney, Morgan - December 4, 1971). He was planning to keep him for most of the two weeks that our parents were in Florida. He was watching Morgan because of my back. I didn't think I'd be up to walking him. Also, he often got hair into Cathy's paintings and generally drove us crazy... even though I did like him when he wasn't staying with us. Neil brought dinner from where he worked (Gourmet International). He did most of the cooking there. He brought back duck with orange sauce, rice stuffing, and salad. Neil waited until Fred came to meet him here. See next entry.]]> My parents were leaving for Florida the following morning. They dropped Morgan off here.]]> Last night Cathy and I went to the Figurative Alliance. We sat next to Rosemary and David and asked them to come to dinner on Saturday. We had chicken in herb sauce, potatoes, cream of spinach soup, salad, and poached pears for dessert. We showed them our work, and they left at about midnight.]]> They spent Thanksgiving at Jon's parents' house. On Saturday afternoon, they came over. We then proceeded to have a food orgy. We ate dinner at about 2:30, scallops, etc. In the early evening, we had candy, hostess tasty cakes, and other junk pastries and milk. At about 10:30 p.m., we had Blimpie submarine hero sandwiches. They were supposed to leave Saturday evening. But because of the pouring rain, they stayed over and left after breakfast on Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m.]]> We (Cathy, Neil, Me) went to dinner at a little Chinese/American/Cuban restaurant-luncheonette type run-down place on Summit Avenue in Union City, Sun-Mey. Much to our surprise, the food was great. Everything was freshly cooked when it arrived. Then we went to a shopping mall and looked at Simmons mattresses. We had to get the catalog number and give it to Jon and Joy (Santlofer), so their brother-in-law, who works for Simmons, could get it for us at 40% off the regular price. We also went by Neil's new apartment. He had not yet moved in. But he would go on to make it very nice.]]> 1971-11-01-10 (roll date, image #22), Neil Roseman (1950-1992)]]> Neil Roseman. We had all came home from Massachusetts. The three of us (Neil, Cathy, Me) went to Mass for 4 days. I initially thought that this was Friday to Tuesday. But because the roll date indicates August 29th (a Sunday) our trip might have taken place later in the week.nn(roll date Aug 29, 1971 #1)nnEarlier in this project when I used film I would date the roll of film when I took it out of the camera. So, I wouldn't necessarily know the exact day the person came over. Late on I started to mark down visits on a calendar so I would know the specific day. Still, later on, when I started to use a digital camera, the date and time would be on each photograph. Earlier on I didn't always write captions. I added this caption on August 12, 2017]]> They came over for dinner. We had cucumber soup, flounder filets (which Frank, Cathy's father caught and we brought back from our trip to Lexington, MA) poached with mushroom and cream sauce, carrots vichy (from Frank's garden), boiled potatoes, salad, custard (which Suzanne and Stephen didn't care for), madeleines, honey and green grapes.]]> We (Neil, Cathy, Me) went to the Mandarin Inn in Chinatown, NYC for dinner. Neil was over here before and came back after dinner as well.]]> 1971-07-01 #1 (roll date) Cornell Roll 1]]> We had eaten dinner. I called Jon and Joy. They were napping. Jon answered the phone and I heard Joy say in the background that the chicken's in the freezer. We asked them to come over for dinner and had chickarina soup.]]> They came over to see us (Catherine Murphy and I) dressed up to go to my cousin Susan Roseman's wedding. This was the first time we got really dressed up, suit etc., since her brother, Nathan Roseman's wedding two years ago.]]> Jon came over in the morning to pick up vitamins and some other things I had picked up for him in the Flushing Queens health food store. (I was traveling back to Queens to work for Joseph Cornell). He had tea with us.]]> Rosemary Hamilton and - don't know his name.]]> Jon posed for a drawing for Cathy. Joy and I prepared dinner for the four of us.]]> I set the camera to a timed shutter release.]]> They came to visit.]]> Neil came over in the morning to bring me and a sculpture to the foundry. First, he had breakfast with us.]]> The wrappings and boxes on the table are treats Neil brought us from Farraro's Restaurant in Little Italy, NYC. He also brought us loads of food from our parents' house and some towels my mother sent for Cathy for her birthday (which is in January).]]>
