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…

Tiny Tomatoes
Two years ago we added a raised bed garden to our backyard. In our tiny 4 x 8 piece of heaven we planted every kind of garden plant you can think of. We had carrots, beets, peppers, lettuce, spinach, beans, zucchini and a couple of varieties of tomatoes. And it wasn’t long before we had…

April In Paris
Remember that old tune from the 50’s that was done by everyone who was anyone including Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie ? I have no idea where they were finding “chestnut blossoms” or the “charm of spring”. We were there last month and it was barely above freezing! I get the line about a “warm…
Nothing But Blue Skies
The last time we spoke I was whining because it was so foggy, so dark, so drizzily. Well today is a different day. The sky is blue with big puffy clouds, the grass is shining up through the snow and the trees and bushes along the Weller Canal are acting like it’s spring. Those…
Dark and Drizzle
Yesterday was that kind of day! Absolutely no sign of the sun, rainy, foggy, becoming more muddy as our remaining snow melted away. I was up at Sicards anyway; A friend and customer’s ( in one word,what would you call a friend and customer? We have names for everything else) new factory order motor…

Confessions
If you are a regular subscriber to the “Amazing Vanstones” you have been seeing some weird stuff happening with this web site over the past few weeks. I apologize for that. Seems I’ve pressed “Publish” a few times when I shouldn’t have, in fact I shouldn’t have been anywhere near that part of the site….
7 Great Shots of Port Colborne
7 Great Shots of Port Colborne Yesterday morning both Marilyn and I read an insightful item on the internet about the Welland Canal and Port Colborne. I must say it was an extremely interesting piece. It got us both to thinking that we hadn’t been to “the Gateway to Navigation” in a long time. It…
Really Retired….Really?
Inquiring curious minds have asked “Larry, I thought this time you really did retire?” To which I excitingly reply “yes, I really did retire.” But before I tell you the story, please let me explain: I love selling recreation vehicles. And I’ve loved it for all 39 years I’ve been doing it. I love the…
