We are very fortunate. Our kids all live within an hour or so from us, so if we can catch them when they are not busy, we get to see them fairly often. Both son Jason’s family as well as daughter Pam’s family saved a day for me. Jason, Maggie and grandson Aiden came out…
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!
As I was fixing up the blog, replacing missed photos and fixing broken links. I was reminded of all the great things my dad is. Firstly, he loves going on adventures, taking pictures. He also likes to talk to the locals, find neat spots and meet really neat people. My dad has had this blog…
Feel the Sweat
We admit it: we love to hike, bike and explore. Most days we walk many kilometers. Some days we even walk many miles. And while walking and hiking and biking are certainly good exercise none of them do much for our flexibility or our core muscles. Lately we’ve been starting our day with a you-tube…
Welcome to the Anchor Bar
I wasn’t around to witness this next fact but they tell me that in the year 1935 some folks named Frank and Teresa opened a restaurant and bar. You guessed it, they called it the Anchor Bar. Fast forward to late one night in the mid 60’s, Teresa is working the bar and group of…

We haven’t been to Morning Star Mill for months, so yesterday morning for our hike that’s exactly where we went. This is usually a pretty regular hike for us. There are some interesting trails that head out from here and if the mill is open we have a wander through and chat with the friendly…

My First 360 Movie
I think you heard that I got my 360 camera as an early birthday present from Marilyn way back in March of this year. Since then I’ve been plugging away with it, taken hundreds of shots, threw a bunch of them away, posted a few on Google Streets. I’ve even put a few up here…

Golden Hill State Park
Last week we were on our way out to Golden Hill State Park in New York State for a few days and while we were getting ready to go Putt-Putt’s entrance door wouldn’t open. I pushed and I pulled. I even swore big nasty words and still I was not getting in or out. I…
