Tom Nozkowski and Joyce Robins had Cathy (Murphy), Me, and Judy (Linn) over for dinner for Judy's birthday. Hannah (Boz), Cas (Casimir Noskowski) and Rocket Boz Nozkowski came up for the weekend. We brought chopped chicken liver (which I made from the leftover liver and onions that Charlie (Smith) and I had for lunch on June 19th) and a red velvet cake. The photographs I took are blurry because I didn't realize the button on the camera had moved to manual focus from automatic. After I took the two sets of group photos of the young Nozkowski family and all of the Nozkowskis, I didn't take another one at the table because Judy doesn't like to be photographed. I figured it was her birthday. So I gave her a break. This was Cathy and my first meeting with Rocket.

At dinner, they told us about their trip. They went to Nice for Elisabeth's sister and brother-in-law's 50th wedding anniversary, and then to Lake Como with friends because they wanted to see Lake Como. Ralph suddenly remembered that he forgot to bring blueberries from his garden (see visitors 2017, Elisabeth Cardonne Arlyck, June 3, 2017) Ralph brought up his film about dealing with getting older and mentioned what he wanted us to do in it. I told them about my entry for Charlie Smith (See Visitors, June 30, 2017, Charlie Smith) that morning. I had written about the possibility of Ralph mentioning his film, and the possible responses. It was all quite funny, and as per what I said that morning, we agreed to do it.]]> Polly Apfelbaum and Stan Allen have a 4th of July (&Polly's birthday) party every year.

We brought lemon squares. Suzanne (Joelsen) brought a pork loin roast, and Leslie and Dennis brought a chocolate cake. I forget what Elliot brought. Stephen (Westfall) cooked up various vegetables in the kitchen. Elena and David grilled hamburgers and the pork roast that Suzanne brought. Everyone at dinner was at ‘T’ Space in the afternoon. I had known everyone at dinner for quite some time, except for Yuri, who I thought I was meeting for the first time. Near the end of dinner, she recollected that she had crashed into my car some years ago while backing out of a spot at Vassar.]]> Adrienne Elisha was a friend who died this July after fighting cancer for more than a year.

Catherine(Murphy), in Tom's studio, tried to sit on a chair. She had a plate with a hot dog in it and had put her cane down. The chair was somewhat high and had wheels. Tom's floor is polished concrete and very smooth. The chair started to slide away and Catherine tried to guide it towards the wall but it twisted and catapulted her to the floor face down. Luckily Dennis Cardone, Catherine's(and mine) orthopedic doctor was also at the party. He ran right over, talked to Catherine and figured out the best way for her to get up. She had a huge lump on her head, and the bridge of her nose was bleeding. He examine her face and also her replaced knees. He thought she seemed generally OK. Dennis was totally wonderful and we would have probably panicked if he hadn't been there. Kent Sepkowitz, also a doctor was helpful, as were Joyce Robins and Judy Linn. Everyone else were very supportive. Catherine handled the whole thing very stoically. We stayed at the party foe about another hour. The next morning the lump had gone down quite a lot, but a lot of black and blue as well as a black thumb had appeared. We were talking about going to the emergency room when Dennis called to tel Catherine she should go to the hospital to make sure there wasn't a blood clot orang broken bones. We were in the emergency room for four hours but there weren't any broken bones or blood clots.nnemails"nJul 22 (9 days ago)nto me nOuch!nnI'm making a beef burgundy for tomorrow's luncheon.nnI hope Cathy will be feeling better tomorrow.nnWith all of our love,nnA & BnnJuly 22, 2017nHi Harry, How is Catherine feeling today?
