    Our sweet website just got a little sweeter.  We are now using the latest version of Sueetie, an online community application with—almost—the perfect name. “What’s new,” you ask?  The most significant differences are those behind the scenes that you don’t see.  There are a number of new features that we hope to turn on at…

    Now that the end of November is near, I realize that I’ll soon have to store my bike away until next spring.  I really love riding my bike around the village, mostly up to the  bank, Shop & Save, and Rite Aid.  Occasionally on weekends, John will join me and we’ll head up route 40,…

  • My “Bird” Feeder

    I love my bird feeder!  Yes, even though I must budget a bit more into my ‘food’ account, it’s so worth it to see all the wild birds that show up at my feeders.  I have a large variety of them; bluejays, cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches, woodpeckers, titmouse, sparrows, grosbeaks, and goldfinches.  And of course I…

  • A story about a broken Iron

    My Iron Broke! Oh NO!  How can I finish my current quilt project?   Go buy a new one, that’s how.  Easier said then done.  I wanted an iron “just like the one that broke”. I went (via car and across Hot pavement) to Target, Boscov, JCPenny, Walmart and Lowes. None had “my” iron; the…

    Round one, done!  Yes, I won the first round, I trimmed the lilac bushes and came out with only two minor scratches.  And now my lawn care season has officially started! See the lilac bushes in the middle of the picture?  The tops are fairly even once again.  I probably ‘adjust’ them three times a…

    Time for the Fair! It’s the Rensselaer County Fair in Schaghticoke, New York, and it’s just “up the street” from my house!  When we moved to Schaghticoke in ‘82, we were told that the village is VERY quiet except for the week of Labor Day when the Fair ‘comes to town’.  Well, we never minded…

    My dear, little Monte passed away this weekend.  He didn’t like most things in life, except John and me, and sitting in the window and on our laps.  That was fine with us, because we loved him just the way he was.  He had a tough beginning, starting out on the streets of Binghamton, NY…

  • Squirrels and moles

    What is more irritating?  Moles in my garden or squirrels on the bird feeder?  Equal PIA’s in my opinion!  Should I buy (very expensive) mole bait, or go the ‘natural’ route, and pour castrol oil down their tunnels? Of course there’s the Caddy Shack way, dynamite! Yeah, that’s what I’m talkin’ about!  Ok, I’ll try…

  • A Colonoscopy? What? Me?

    Ok, I know it must be done, after all, anyone over fifty, blah, blah, blah.  And it’s not as if I ever had one before, so I really shouldn’t judge the experience on what others say.  HOWEVER, the ‘day before’ part doesn’t sound all that pleasant.  Oh well, I’ll keep in mind what one of…

  • Mama Mia

    I love the movie Mama Mia!  Netflix ‘recommended’ it to me, and so glad they did.  Didn’t know it was a musical, (you will NOT enjoy it if you DON’T like musicals), but the songs are by ABBA, so you can’t go wrong!  Of course, I bought my own copy already, hope it doesn’t wear…
