Hana loves her new Kuma-Chan! What a relief.

We didn’t know it at the time, but this would be the last picture of Kuma-Chan,
Hana’s favorite toy… The next night I would unwittingly throw him down the
garbage chute. (Honest mistake! He was in a plastic bag in the unofficial
trash-to-be-taken-out spot.) Oops!

Hana and me watching hanabi (fireworks) in Astoria Park under the Triboro Bridge.


Hana and Barnett Newman’s Concord.

Kiki and Jackson Pollock’s Autumn Rhythm (Number 30).

Day 2 of the Renegade Craft Fair was much sunnier than forecast, so the girls came along… but Hana was more
interested in the playground across the street.
