BABY ENZO, TRIM HEALTHY MAMA, THE ARGYS

MONDAY:
I was up early, had my coffee on the porch, and looked for deer out in the field.  There has been several the last couple days.  I even saw a fawn running around, his head and tail was all that showed above the green bean crop.  Cute to watch.
I sorted our washing and started the washer.  I had some posting to do so I worked on the computer.
Bob had a flat tire on his John Deere cart so he brought that to Sloat's Tire to be fixed.  He picked up a loaf of bread for lunch while out.  He has been trying to figure out what's wrong with my printer, it jammed up. 




HE HAS IT BACK TOGETHER.

Mid afternoon, we decided to go in the pool.  We were really lazy but forced ourselves to get in there and exercise a bit.  Time is running short to use the pool.
Supper was an ordeal as the available groceries are low.  Need a grub run!  TV finished the day.  A beautiful big sunset went down.  As the Girl Scouts say, "Day is done, gone the sun!"  
TUESDAY:
What a beautiful day!  I was up early again and the fields were nice and clear, no fog.  The deer were out.  The farmers were harvesting the back, right field.  Their machine is huge and noisy.  Lots of dust!

I putzed around in the kitchen putting dishes away and emptying the dish washer.  I wasn't quite either.  I wanted to go for groceries early before it got hot out and Bob had expressed that he wanted to go; so get up already!  After he did rise, he ate, then had an e mail to put out for our camping group.  It was 10:00 am before we left.  After the stores we went to the Farmers' Market for a few things. 
It's always a job putting stuff away.  I did most of it and washed the veggies then put on my bathing suit and went out to enjoy the pool before it was supper time.  The water and weather was perfect!  


OUR BERMUDA

After supper I watered the flower pots around the pool.  They are not doing so good; this is the last time I plant geraniums.   They are dying out.  I put bug dust on them last week.  The white plant (?) is doing just fine in the same pots.  I have another planter with petunias  and one big marigold and it is gorgeous! 

SO PRETTY

We are watching TV a bit then going to read. 

WEDNESDAY:
A cool day, a big difference in temp.  Bob went for a haircut bright and early.  I put our dinner in the crock pot as we were going to Lockport for my hair appointment and to see the Great Grandson, Enzo. It rained most of the way up there. 
After doing the carrots and onions, while fixing the crock pot meal, I was frustrated peeling the fresh mushrooms.  I thought there ought to be an easier way.  So I boiled some water and put those puppies in there and blanched them.  The skin peeled right off in bigger pieces than under cold water.  This probably wouldn't be good for a cold plate/salad, and my sister is probably gasping that I would do that but what to heck.  Try anything once.  

Bob and Joe had a project to work on while I was at the beauty shop.  They were putting up a new light with fan paddles in a bedroom.  Bob and Debbie picked me up about 4:30 and we dropped Debbie off at a garage to pick up her car, then went to see the baby.  He is so cute.  He slept most of the time but he squirmed around some and made cute faces. 

MAMA HAS HIM DRESSED IN BABY BLUE

ALSO SEE MY BEAUTIFUL NEW PERM

Back at home, dinner was good even thou I forgot to put potatoes in the crock pot.  Bob put the gravy on the meat and a piece of bread.   Since it rained, Bob is watching some X-Files that are spooky.  I'm going to read.

THURSDAY:
Here we go back to Lockport for Bob's quarterly check up as we couldn't get the two days appointments combined.  Doc was quick so we headed off to Tonawanda for the afternoon wake of a camping friend.  
I didn't have supper planned as I figured we would have to do the evening calling hours and eat out.   We decided to eat at Miss Batavia.  I had the Pittsburgh salad and I chowed down those french fries on top so fast, so good.  


MC COMING SOON
RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM MISS BATAVIA
UNCLE BILLY SCOOPING IT OUT!

FRIDAY:
It's after one o'clock and I just got out of the kitchen, and we haven't had lunch yet.  Rats!
I'm making cucumber salad like my Mama used to make - soak the slices in salt water till they wilt then put dressing on them.    
I BOUGHT THIS GADGET ON QVC.
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ONE!
I may as well share as I don't know how long I'll continue this episode- One of our friends had mentioned to me the meal plan/diet book called TRIM HEALTHY MAMA.  She has had  huge success with it.  I'm talking 40 pounds, that's to be admired.  The book is as successful as that SHADES OF GREY thing.  
So I evaluate myself: I have dun lap.  We have had grogginess after lunches from eating to much.  I look at other retirees, their not all over weight.  Oh why did I notice that?  I dieted all my working years.  I'm sick of it. 
So I ordered the book on Amazon.  It's written by two sisters and it came last week one day.  I read and I read; man it's confusing.  An E meal and a S meal. It's comical too.  They throw in relatives...Uncle Fred is Fuel power, Grandma is a crossover - always saying-eat, eat and another.   The sisters debate each other on products.  

There are lots of weird products that I don't have in my cupboard and can't find in local grocery stores.  Maybe if I had been a health nut prior there would be some on hand.  I was very surprised to find curry there this morning to go in the crock pot curry chicken.  

Bob is very interested. He came upstairs and plopped right down at the table and helped himself to my pancakes.  (Oatmeal, egg whites, and cottage cheese) 
THEY ARE GOOD!
3 MEALS PER BATCH

In the grocery store, Bob still likes to read the labels on dairy products having been in milk manufacturing all those years.  While there, here he comes with a can of Lite coconut milk.  "You need this."  I do?  Okay Bob.  Don't you think I should read the book a little more and see how to use it?  

SATURDAY:
Our morning was a drive up to Brockport to go to Wegman's for a few things that I can't find in our grocery stores.  That store is beautiful!  So much nice looking produce.  

Our friends from our previous camping group (Argys) are here from the Villages, Fl. so I arranged a reservation for dinner at Bohn's so the rest of the group  could all visit with them.  We had a good time catching up about each other and our families.  

A SERIOUS CONVERSATION BETWEEN ED AND SAM

UNCLE BILLY
I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW!


ANNE MARIE AND FREIDA
WE HAD TO CHANGE SEATS SO WE COULD VISIT BETTER.  

MY QUEEN CUT PRIME RIB
IT'S HUGE!

BOB HAD THEIR GOOD FISH FRY
SUNDAY:
Another nice day.  We buzzed over to Wal*Mart to pick up some photos that we had sent for development.  I also looked for a sympathy card.  
After lunch, it  was head for the pool!  I really didn't accomplish much today.  

We have had a good relaxing week.  Hope you had one too.

DIFFERENT LAP TOP, MAC KENZIE CHILDS BARN SALE

MONDAY:

I'm among the elite!  I can sit and type in the rec room with my feet up on the easy chair.  Betsy offered the Centrino lap top to me that Sarah had for college.  Sarah has moved on to an Apple machine.  Woo hoo, this is the Cat's meow!  Betsy had to charge it up all day Sunday as it hasn't been used in two years. 
I have to learn how to use this keyboard; I miss my old keyboard.  Right now I can't figure out how to highlight the typing to enlarge the type...little things. 

I've had a bummer day!  Last night after supper, I became so sick.  Stomach cramps!  My brain ran away with me; what to heck is this?  I wondered all kinds of illnesses, true hypo talking at ya!  It's unusual for me to be uncomfortable.  I had another of my insomniac nights due to the circumstances, then slept till 10:30.  So today I just kinda bounced around from one little detail to the next to keep my mind busy.   I did a small washing, wrapped gifts, decorated a couple tags for gifts and then went for a nap. 
Bob had filled in the hole under the fence, used the grass trimmer all around, painted some boards after sanding them; then he wonders why he is tired.  He went for a swim to cool off a couple times.
TUESDAY:
OH, THIS IS TUESDAY!  I was mixed up for awhile, thinking it was Wednesday.  Some days are better than others!  I was convinced, even told Bob he was wrong-it's Wednesday.  He whipped out his phone and proved it to me.  I must be just excited for Thursday to come.  Thursday is the start of the MacKenzie Child's Barn Sale.  We have more people going this year so it should be more fun.  I can't wait to see their plan of attack to get the bargains.  

We have been to town already.  We needed milk.  The trip is always extended as long as we are out,   Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Tops for gas, and Rite Aide.  I picked up a few health bars for the Barn Sale Trip because we won't eat on schedule.  Too busy shopping!  The skies grew black and ugly looking and then it poured.  We were in between the store and car.




NEW MARSHALL'S STORE HAS THE SIGN UP
IN AREA WHERE DICK'S WAS 
Just before supper Bob started the lawn mowing since we filled the gas containers at Tops.  We had .80 off per gallon with all the shopping points.  I pulled a few more weeds.

WEDNESDAY:
It's cooler today.  Feels good for a change, a good day for working outside.  So out I went.  I transplanted a few more of my perennials seedlings, and then Bob offered to help plant.  We had a corner area along the fence to plant so they wouldn't hit the fence with the mower.   We then pulled weeds along the new grass seed area.  We expected the new grass to be higher by now but it's not so the weeds looked horrible. 
After lunch I took a shower and put the muddy clothes in the washer.  I checked a few things on computer and couldn't keep my eyes open....so I picked up a blanket an took a nap.

Betsy and I worked out a few more plans for tomorrow's trip to MacKenzie Child's Barn Sale.  MacKenzie Child's is known for hand painted ceramics and enamel ware.  Beautiful home deco items.  

THURSDAY:

 At 5:00a.m., we are raring to go.  In the car by 6:00a.m. (how did we do that?)  We picked Annalynn up at her apartment in Rochester at 6:40 and headed for the thruway.  


ANNALYNN HAS HER PLASTIC SHOPPING BAG READY.
Driving along we passed Debbie and her car load-Kathy, Sandy and Mary, all newbies to the event.  

SELFIE FROM DEBBIE'S CAR
SANDY, KATHY, MARY AND DEBBIE DO!
Everyone pulled in the rest area with the Starbucks store.  One for the road! 




ANNALYNN, SANDY, KATHY,DEBBIE, ME, BETSY AND MARY 


Arriving at MacKenzie Childs about 8:00 a.m., there must have been a thousand cars parked already. We unloaded, grabbed our plastic shopping bags (in case of rain as the paper bags get ruined) shared our health bars, raisins boxes, and peanut butter crackers.  We headed for the side walk and joined the waiting line.  I went thru the gift shop with Kathy, Sandy and Mary, while Betsy, Annalynn and Debbie held our place in line.

As I was departing the gift shop, up walks some of Rocco's relatives; Suzanne, Donna, Linda and Margie.  They later joined the waiting line with our girls.  


SANDY, KATHY, MARY, & LINDA
BETSY, DONNA, DEBBIE, MARGIE AND SUZANNE
Our wait was over two and a half hours!  I was comfortable sitting in a near by gazebo and joined the line when the girls were close.  About fifty people were allowed entry every half hour.  Closer to the entrance we received our arm bracelets and paper shopping bags.  This year they said we could use the arm bracelet's for reentry without the line waiting; sure go spend more money.  Ha!  

Down came the cord barrier and about fifty people scurried out to the shopping area.  CHARGE!!!!
Debbie, Betsy and I went to the tent to wait for a shopping cart.  Debbie said, "this is awesome "  The rest headed for the enamel barn.  Annalynn took Betsy's list for people from work and brother's wishes.  In the barn (50% off) there is shelving, loaded with every enamel product they make.  It's crowded, unbelievable.  In the tent is all ceramic, Christmas, furniture, misc. items.  

Bob had driven Betsy's car to Bass Pro Shop nearby.  
BASS PRO SHOP
NEW REEL!
His gift certificate was burning a hole in his pocket.  He shopped there for two hours.  Returning he called us to see if we were ready for pick up.  Ha, we had just started our shopping.  He drove around the farm, checking out the blacktop parking lot so we could bring the motor home next trip on the night before the event.   


SOMEONE ELSE PARKED ON BLACK TOP

We shopped and shopped.  There was a cloud burst and water was running in between the tents like a stream but everyone kept right on shopping.  
Some where around 1:30-2:00, everyone was munching on the crackers etc., we all met and headed for the check out.  They have wooden corrals built to follow with at least 50 check out cash registers at the end.  They used walkie talkies to direct customers to an open one.  Unreal -all the planning stages for this event.  
Bob picked us up.  We then went for the tour of the old farm house.  The tour was free this year.

BOB JOINED US THIS TIME.

The house has been up dated since my trip there several years ago.  It was beautiful then, and more beautiful now.  Everyone should see the inside, plan a day trip!

HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE THIS GOOSE WAS USED?
We drove downtown for lunch.  We checked out the Aurora Inn but their menu didn't turn anyone on.  We ended up at Fargo's Bar & Grill across the street.  I'd call it a cute little gin mill, but today it's probably called a Pub, they had delicious food. 


OUTDOOR SEATING

I slept most of the way back to Rochester.  Betsy drove to another Starbucks and then Annalynn directed us on a drive past the home which they have a purchase offer presented on.  Big 2 story home, very nice in a very nice clean neighbor hood.  
 Back at home, need I tell you - couch potatoes!

FRIDAY:
Working on the Blog as it's even cooler today.  

We are not ambitious today!  We both had naps. 
When Betsy came home from work, we looked at all our purchases from the barn sale.  Oh, what fun.  She says, she's not going again next year as it's to hard at work after taking a day off.  So I told her the answer to that is take Friday off too.  

SATURDAY:
Bob and Betsy were out about doing their own things when I got up.  I had coffee and checked my phone for the latest what ever.  I put a rub on some spareribs and put them in the crock pot to cook.  
I tried my new dish purchase in the oven...it fits with a 1/4" to spare on each side.  Yeah!   

9 X 13 CASSEROLE DISH
HAND PAINTED CERAMIC

Then I saw how dirty my oven is - bad.  So start the day off scrubbing.  I did the refrig too.  My arms are not as strong as they used to be; after a couple hours, I was willing to let the parts of the oven I hadn't cleaned yet go as I was tired and my feet hurt.  Enter Bob to the rescue!  He found some spray and it's sprayed good.  
I thought of a job where I could sit maybe an hour or so.  I need filing room downstairs.  So I cleaned out the miscellaneous folder in the file cabinet.  Then I pulled a few folders out of the warranty file drawer as the bikes are gone in the garage sale.


SUNDAY:
Bob and David went fishing at Godfrey's pond while the girls attended a gala breakfast baby shower for my friend Fredia's grandson's wife-Erin.  Gees, that's a mouth full.  It was held at Terry Hills Restaurant and Golf Course which was busy with golfers.  The tables were decorated with lavender napkins and a beautiful deep purple potted plant.  Very pretty and my favorite colors.  

HOW CUTE!

We enjoyed visiting with all the out of towners.  

Once home, we went thru Alex's wedding pictures that Donna had brought to show us.  Donna helped me pic some out for development to make a scrap book.  David pushed buttons to send them off to Wal-Mart.  

That's our week.  Thanks for stopping in and hope you have a good week too.    Plan on coming to the Barn Sale next year-give me a call!

GOLDEN HILL STATE PARK CAMPING, AND CHERRY PICKING

MONDAY:
The wheels on the bus go round and round!  We are heading for Golden Hill State Park in Barker, N.Y., which is up on Lake Ontario.  We are meeting friends there.  We left home, went to college parking lot to hook up tow car, and was on the road by 10:10 am.  That's really good for us, seems we are slower now that we are retired.

Arriving at the check in office,  Bob asked for a site closer to our friends but one was not available.  




RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR BEDROOM WINDOW
We set up camp and went to visit.  Bob J. has a new techie piece of equipment that he explained to us.  It's a WAN; that provides support to the camp ground Internet supply.  Shortly after, we went to pick cherries.  Nice, big, dark, fat, juicy ones!  Oh, so good. 


BROWN'S HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING

Bonnie had containers but I didn't.  Inside she had her baskets weighed and I purchased two.  We headed out to the orchard.  We didn't find the dark cherries at first.  We continued on to the end of the rows and the trees were loaded.  



BOB J. TRYING TO CATCH SOME INTERNET

BONNIE HOOKED HER PAIL ON HER SHIRT

BOB GETS RIGHT INTO HIS WORK
HERE COMES BOB J. WITH CAMERAS
It didn't take long (maybe an hour) and our containers were full and so was our bellies!  

BEAUTIFUL AND SO GOOD!

We headed into the store to pay.  The cherries were $3.99 a pound unless you picked over 20 lbs. and then it was $3.39 a pound.   We were way over!  Then Bob started with his discount questions - do you honor over 65, AAA, DUNKIN DONUTS?  Bob J. asked about a military discount.  I guess they threw out several other ideas too - doesn't hurt to ask.  We ended up paying $3.00 a pound.  

We put the pickings in the car and went back in the store for an ice cream cone.  Later Bob J. drove us around another state park to look at campsites for a later date.  Very few with lake front viewing.


After supper, we went to their lake front site to watch the sunset.   Many people were out walking, then I noticed a couple that we knew.  They are members of the Rochester Chapter of Holiday Ramblers.  Come to find out, they are doing a work program called Caps, for the park.  They will be our tour guides when we go threw the light house.  They also water plants and miscellaneous other things.  Speaking of water, we had sprinkles!  The sky was turning black.  We were rained out!    I was anxious to make a pie with the cherries so I wasn't disappointed.  Bob watched some TV then went to bed.  I was still waiting on the pie to finish at 10 something.   


I USED THE CONVECTION SETTING
IT BURNT THE CRUST.
Then off to bed.  Oh crap!  I still have the flannel sheets on the bed.  I must have forgotten to pull them off after last camp out.  And the long, drink of water, (Bob) is sprawled all over the top.  

TUESDAY:
On camping mornings without a busy schedule, I like to make bacon and eggs.   After a shower, cleaning the kitchen and changing the sheets, we went to Jae's site.  Tours at the light house started at 2:00 p.m. and was on the property so we had a short walk.  


THIS IS A YURT


On the camp ground there are two of these Yurts.  The flier says, their origins date back to ancient time when Nomadic central Asian tribes used them for shelters.  This one has a wood interior, ceiling fan, hardwood floors and a room to sleep six.  Fridge, Microwave, Dinette, two dressers.  A rental with all the comforts of home.

They also had a brand new shower building with a planned laundry area.  Federal or State funds must have been good!



HISTORY POSTER 

THE LIGHTHOUSE

The light house building was two stories high.  The down stairs we could tour and it was a complete home set up.  Kitchen, dinning, living room, bedrooms, and bath.  The upstairs was an apartment with three bedrooms that anyone could rent by the week - over $1000.00.

IT DIDN'T SAY GRISWOLD

LOOKING WEST
After the tour, rain threatened again!  We went back to our camper and had our 4:00 coffee.  The pie was whispering to us-try me!  Ha!  We had to have a piece and it was  delicious.   I packed some up for our friends and Bob drove it over to them.  Then the rain came down in sheets. It's terrible when one needs boots to get the boots out of the camper bays.  It really was a bad down pour.

FLOODED
A couple hours later we went back to lake side to see the sunset.  Our friends (Diane & Gene)  from Rochester joined the four of us. 


Once again, the black clouds rolled in and a chilly wind started blowing.  A perfect sunset was not to be had this camp out.  


The Rochester couple had to lock up things at the light house so when they left, we all decided to call it quits for the evening.  

WEDNESDAY:
We are checking out today and heading home.  While Bob went to the dump station, I went to visit with the Jae's.   I/we want to come back in August when the peaches are ready.  I left when Bob called that he was ready to hook up.   We checked the lights and made sure the wheels on the car were going around, then started out.  We had decided to take an easy, scenic ride, where ever Gypsy (our GPS) took us.  The Gypsy route brought us to the Alabama Swamp area so I suggested we have lunch at the Wild Life Viewing Area.  Sadly, we didn't have the binocs with us to look for the Eagles.  We needed propane so we drove to the Rez on the reservation.  Bob also bought diesel fuel.  

USUALLY THE BEST PRICE AROUND
BOB DID FORGET TO CHECK THE GAS BUDDY APP

At home, the first thing I did was to make a k-cup of coffee!  Boy, my camper coffee is lousy.  After unloading, I drove over to Fredia's house to take a basket of cherries.  She was surprised.  She has brought us so many pies over the years; so good hearted.  


Once supper was over, I watched the game shows.  Betsy had my computer in use.  Then I turned on the IPad to see if my two days of typing went on to Bob's Mac machine.  Nope!  I called for help.  Betsy said, that I didn't save it correctly.  I did, I did.  Well, she signed out before saving it again soooo... trauma!  Everything was gone.  They both tried every rescue they knew...nothing, gone!

THURSDAY:
We went threw the mail, some bills had come in, did the washing in between, and started retyping my Blog.  Bob called on orchards that allowed peach picking, he finally found one.  Several said peaches are too fragile to allow self pick.  He also ordered a camping magazine that was suggested by our friend Bob J.  I made another cherry pie and finish the cherries.   


THIS TIME I USED A DEEP PIE DISH AND DIDN'T HAVE AS MUCH RUN OVER.

Bob loaded the photos from the camp out and I made a list of the ones I wanted.  Bob J. shared some nice ones with us..thank you.  
The day flew!
I'm still reading the Inferno by Dan Brown.   The characters are on the run and there must be one hundred pages of that with detail of all the Italian buildings, secret tunnels and statues with long names.  An artisy person would love it!  
FRIDAY:

Bob has gone to Home Depot to buy cement blocks as an animal dug under our fence already.  All that new dirt was pushed aside.

I spent the day on the computer.  I have the blog retyped now.

SATURDAY:

I was up real early (5:00 am) so I went out on the porch to look for the SUPERMOON as I couldn't see it for the clouds in the evening.  It stayed out from under the clouds for about twenty minutes.  It was big.  I snapped some pictures.  



STILL SOME CLOUDS

The afternoon weather was beautiful, so nice and sunny.   I decided to ignore all the work and go sit at the pool, mostly because of the forecast for a cold spell.  I better enjoy it now.  I brought the paperback Inferno with me...trying to finish that.  

Bob is tearing a small table top off a stand to replace it.  It's weather beaten.  He also has the small kids bench all sanded and varnished to put back together.  He stays in the shade of garage most of the time, but today he did take a nap under the gazebo .   
Seeing as the camping plans were cancelled for the weekend, we made plans to go out for dinner with Joni and Scott from our camping Chapter.  They offered to drive to Batavia so we met them at   Alex's Restaurant.  It was very busy and we were told a twenty five minute wait.  The food was good, the company was great, and we were back home before dark.  
SUNDAY:
Well, the weather change is here.  It's much cooler than yesterday.   I went out to do some weed pulling.  I hadn't worked to long and then sprinkles, then a down pour.  That's that for the day, to wet.  

Opps, I hit publish instead of preview.   Oh well!  Guess I'm not awake yet.   Best I post this.

It's been a good week, maybe a little bit to much rain.  Thanks for reading.  Have a good week.
