Time to ride the fun wagon again. Climb aboard....you won't want to miss this experience. Our neighbor friend, Mary Kay Linza, joined us on this excursion. Forget Disneyworld, Soleman's Castle, Webster Flea Market, Universal Studios, Eye of Orlando....all the many places we had fun at in Florida. We are now in Allegany County, New York. This is how we have fun in our neck of the woods. Lulu chose not to go - she's still resting. That's okay. She needs to build up her stamina again. Today's festivities would just wear her out. Are you ready? Okay....you will be in awe with all that we are going to do and see. Excited? You should be. I bet you won't have this much fun where you live. Here we go. First, we head to a neighboring town ... read more

First things first: Happy Birthday to our wonderful grandson, Ryan Knapp. We love you! Oh my....gather around dear family and friends. Our journey together is coming to an end. What a ride we've had. We traveled here and there and yonder over these past four months. Seen things familiar and not. Done things that hadn't been planned. And the whole time, we've have had you to share it with. It was a great time for us and we only hope you had some fun along the way, also. Granted, you probably got bored at times with my seemingly unending drone of detail ..... Yes, I heard the moaning, groaning and yawning....but that's okay. Too bad there isn't a fast forward button on this blog. Suck it up and go with the flow. We've repeated that a ... read more

Hoping the gremlins and ghouls pass you by so you can have a Happy Halloween. HOWL and have fun. Because we live out in the country, we don't get many trick or treaters. Last year we had ONE so here's hoping we break our record. The few kids that do live in Shongo go into Wellsville where all the many homes and many treats are more readily available. Lulu is staying here in Shongo. Did you guess who she is going as?.....Hint:POTUSFL. Answer: Michelle Obama. Everything is going along at a routine pace for us. My last blogs were about our Ohio trip with Sam & Sandy. It was a great time. Hope you got to read them. My cousin-in-law, Clare, stopped by for a short visit. She flew their airplane from Abbotsford, Bristish Columbia to ... read more

No cooking? I'll go anywhere, anytime. Fortunately, our daughter, Lory, invited us down for chicken bar-b-que last Sunday. Wish you could have had some. Jay was helping cook the chicken for a local church's fund raiser. It was a delicious bar-b-que. It came with beans, potato salad, roll and a brownie. And it was even extra nice because all the Knapps were there....except for Jay who was still cooking. He said they cooked @ 365 chickens. We have this on-going discussion with Sam & Sandy: do you like barbecue? After our last cruise, Sam repeatedly inquired about this as we headed home from a wonderful, sea-faring trip. He had a favorite restaurant (Woody's) in mind and really wanted to go there. But being the polite gentleman he is, he kind of works his ways mysteriously and ... read more

Ahhhh - GOOD MORNING, AMERICA! Hello, Everyone. It's a new day and hopefully our last traveling one for this excursion. What a ride it's been. So glad you decided to go along with us...your company has been just delightful. Everything seems good.....but I did say similar yesterday. But today is different...I just can feel it (oh, foolish me). Homeward bound we are: "This is where you get your strength, the red earth of Tara." ....or "The Brown Sticks of Shongo" (my quote). "TARA, Home! We'll Go Home!"(Gone With The Wind quotes) Right now we are passing through the Gettysburg Battlefield area. We feel like we have been in battle. But that's behind us and this now. No buzzers; no alarms; no warning lights and read outs! La-la-la-la......happy days......PLEASE, GOD! Keep us safe & moving. What a ... read more
