Happy New Year Everyone! In with the new and out with the old.....good! good! good! Actually, 2017 was a good year for us UNTIL THE END. We met our desired goal by having our auction to sell off all our antiques & collectibles plus more. Our house and property are in shape to be put on the sales market. Our oldest son, Cory, relocated from N.C. back into our area and continues to work in an accomplished position for the Corning Glass Company. His daughter, Rachael, graduated from college and is pursuing her doctorate at the University of Alabama. Our daughter, Kim, changed jobs from SUNY Geneseo to SUNY Binghamton; enhancing her career. Their daughter, Haley, graduated from high school and began college at Miami University in Ohio. Our daughter, Lory, remains a loyal and important ... read more

Okay, folks....our pilot says you can unhook your seatbelts at this time. We are in a holding pattern. What’s going on you ask? Inquiring minds want to know!! Can this be for real??? Well, let’s talk. I’ll give you the grueling details. Of course, we have to start at the beginning: THIS MORNING. As you know, when we picked you up earlier, our plan was to leave for Florida today. Oh, we could feel the extreme excitement in the air with all of you. It was going to be a great day for traveling. Even though the sun was shining, it was very nippy outside when loading all our last minute items plus all your baggage. I don’t want to say that you “come with a lot of baggage” but.....just kidding. Temperature this morning was a ... read more

Hope you've kept your traveling clothes on. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. I think you are going to have fun our last adventure with my cousin Paul. That is if you like boats and fish. And pretty scenery. So off we go....???into the wild blue yonder????? Paul should be an activities director...he researches interesting places, maps them out with his Atlas ( yes, he still uses a hard copy Atlas) and sets out for a new & fun experience with no hesitation. This time, we are all going along in his caravan. The day is beautiful: bright sunshine, warm weather and gorgeous and colorful leaves to see on every hillside and in every front yard. Sunglasses required. Perfect. We head to Keuka Lake (one of the NY State Finger Lakes....most folks think there are 5 ... read more

Our surroundings are so pretty in our neck of the woods. I bet you have the same gorgeous backdrop. However, it is also a reminder of what is yet to come. Fortunately, our journey south to Florida will begin after Christmas. Yahoo. Until then, we shall enjoy the brightly painted leaves and the soft, white snowflakes when they decide to visit. Note I said " visit" ....they can't stay long ...they need to leave at some point. Cory has our RV scheduled for its check up and winterization. Someone new has bought this RV place where we have taken our unit all these years. Hope they are good so we can still use them for our service work. We'll see. I've been slowly trying to downscale some of the "stuff" in the RV. Mostly the multitude ... read more

Just keep in mind, we ARE getting out of the antique business ..YES, WE ARE! No kidding. Then, why in the world would we be going to an auction plus an Estate Sale? Just for the social aspect of it, I guess plus I thought maybe you would like to go. We haven't been to an auction in a long time and this one was THEE one to go to. So grab your lawn chair and sunglasses....we are leaving now! This auction was a 2-day auction. That gives you your first clue that it is a biggy. It began on this past Friday at 4:00 PM. It continued on to Saturday starting at 9:30 AM. We went both times. The couple who lived on this beautiful farmette were friends of ours through "the business". The kind ... read more
