Visiting family

I just remembered, I never posted my trip to Upstate, N.Y. So, here it is. These are the plane ride, of course.


I was really tired as you can see

Checking out the flight attendant, wink..wink

This little kid was crawling all over, one lady complained and I told her, he's not screaming, let him alone. She had a couple of choice words for me, so I knocked her out. {just kidding of course, LOL} When we landed coming out I yelled out PHEW! It was 98 degrees. My sister was waiting and I told her let's hug and get to the air conditioned car.

This is my sister's house and her street, there are big lush green trees


                                     This tree is in front of her house
This is my sister and her cat, her cat passed on shortly after I left. She has a glass of wine close to her. I sitting in a chair drinking an ice cold beer.
This is my sister's famous Lasagna that she made for me, Mmmm! Mmmm! delicious.
One day for lunch, we stopped at Lupo's for french fries and a Spiedie sub. These are so good. You can get lamb, chicken pork or beef. Cuts of meat marinade in a secret sauce for 4-6 says and then grilled. They stay with you but, it's worth it.
     We made a trip to the Cider Mill Playhouse where they make great                                  donuts,apple cider and candied apples.




Then, we stopped at a store and picked up a watermelon
This house belongs to one of my nephews Kenny who lives close to my sister. He helps her out a lot.

This is my other nephews house in Towson, Maryland. He's a big shot at Snapon Tools. He did very well for himself. He's Brian
                                     That's Brian's cat and dog
                                             Brian's back yard


                              Brian's daughter, she is a soccer player
My Grand niece playing soccer

                       While at Brian's, we went and got donuts, they have a                                          machine that makes them to order.
                                        The donut chef, LOL


                                        Don't they look good?
I took my sister, her best friend and her friends out to dinner to this REAL ITALIAN RESTAURANT, The Little Venice they have been in this same spot for 60 or 70 years and their food was DELICIOUS.


I had Veal Parmigiana and a side of thick spaghetti and I had already eaten half of it
This is what my sister had and she couldn't eat it all...Doggie bag!
My sister leaning back and taking a breather. The young man is Bobby, my sister's friends son
The whole family got together and went to a State Park for a picnic and have a good time.

See the deer running?

A Bluegil I caught that one. HOORAY!
My grand nephew
Sitting around shooting the bull

We ate a lot of burgers and hot dogs that day
He's waiting for someone to drop food.
My nephew Brian he has a bun with 4 hamburgers on it. This kid can eat.
About a week before I left, my sister and I drove up Cape Vincent by the Canadian Border on the St. Lawrence River where he friend has a cottage.
We enjoyed wathing the ships and the boats pass by.




We drove to town and walked around, this picture is the Canadian side
It's a beautiful place, I could live there.
This place was cool, lots of antique jewelry

This was the trip back, there were rows and rows of corn





Well that's it. time for bed. It's 3:43 am. Hope you enjoy, take care

Hey bigfoot, well it was in the Fall, I'm just late posting it. It was a very nice trip. I was wondering, do you have any bigfoot relatives running around up here? LOL

Hi nymamma, I was planning on going again but, it is so cold here, I didn't want to leave my cabin alone. Everyday has been -32. I will make a trip in the Spring.

Hiya John enjoyed pics of your trip. I remember when you were talking of going & contemplating possibly moving there. But didn’t take you long to realize civilization ain’t what it’s cracked up to be lol . Being in your own elements & where life makes you happy is a good thing. Visits are nice & spending time with family is good but old saying is “ No place like Home” Nothing going on down south just crazy weather. Winter, Summer, Storms & Tornados all in one week. Rain & 70’s this week crazy weather. Sounds like you have full fledged winter going on. Stay Safe & Warm & Happy NewYear ..... Bert From Bama

Hi Bert, good to hear from you. You're right, better to stay in my own elements even if it is freezing. It's been dow to -36 for days. It warmed up to -1. I hope it gets more warmer now at least for a while. Thanks for stopping by. Take care of yourself.
