???? Off we go into the wild, blue yonder ???. Remember, I told you in my last blog (Italian Fest & Louie's) that we had a mission when we decided to take a different way home from these fun places. ?? Over hill, Over dale - as we hit the dusty trail????. That was us as we twisted and turned our way through the back hills and winding roads to finally meet up with our good friend, Cheryl. Mission accomplished! She was on her farm (her second home).....5 generations of her family have lived on this very same farm. It's always so nice to be with Cheryl...we don't get together often and only on occasion, talk on the phone or email. But we always know where we can find each other. That's friendship. Friends forever. She ... read more

Hope you all had a Happy 4th of July. We were thinking of each of you and hoped the day went off with a bang! Our day was quite laid back. First off, we looked for Fourth of July festivities on the wrong day. I was positive that the nearby town, Andover, was having big celebrations on both the 3rd & 4th. Wrong! We drove over to this celebration Mecca with excitement swirling around us on Sunday. This town probably has the biggest and the best of all July 4th festivities and fireworks. We drove around town (small) and saw only a couple food trailers set up in the school yard. Chicken barbecue was on the 4th....rats! Cory thought Hornell, NY might have something going on so our journey continued. Wrong, again. Nothing. Why don't they ... read more

Now that we know you like chicken barbecues, we've made sure we have found the best ones to take you to. Our first day of fun was at the annual Hess Tire Customer Appreciation Day. We are still in awe at the free party they put on for all their customers. It is huge and so generous. We bought our RV tires from them and have done other business there. They are an outstanding company to use and they offer excellent customer satisfaction. They are located way up on a super, high hill outside of Andover, NY. It's quite a challenge for Cory to get our RV over the many twisting, turning, hill-challenging back roads but he manages. He just had the RV there for its NY inspection.....some states don't even have vehicle inspection....ex: Ohio.....so Sam ... read more

.....and was I ever last week. Sitting on our couch, sorting my many pills (as I tell our kids: just trying to stay alive), I was startled hearing "Hello, Mom." I looked up and couldn't believe my eyes! I was so surprised 'cause there stood our son, Cory. There he was, in the flesh, in our living room. I couldn't move or speak. Paralyzed with shocking happiness. Oh, joyous day! He had flown up to attend his best friend's 25th anniversary party. On the in-between, he visited with us. It was so great because we don't get to see him that often now that he lives in Conover, North Carolina. Lulu was so excited to see him. She tried doing her happy dance but that gets complicated (no legs). Not wanting him to be bored just ... read more

I knew you couldn't resist getting in on this band wagon. We're off again for more excitement in our neck of the woods. The tune being played is: Happy Days Are Here Again". You just have to think it's fun to make it fun, you know. Hop aboard...your seat is always saved just for you. Last week took us to two cemeteries. Time to "do the graves" for Memorial Day. Now, this is our first fun experience. Geeze. Years ago, I would accompany my grandmother, mother and 2 aunts to "do the graves". Now I "do their graves". They used to dig the tops of each grave...back then, there were only 4 graves. They would dig the entire grave and plant live flowers all over it. Now, that was a job! But many hands made it ... read more
