Bad Weekend Turned into Good Weekend

Oh My!! This last weekend I was supposed to go and see the "Racing City Chorus" (barbershop) at their annual show. I say supposed... because I was very sick and couldn't go. What a disappointment. Instead, I had a very close relationship with my bathroom. Nuff said.

In between times, when I could function, I finished my scarf. I just love it. It is definitely one of those scarves that my daughter would call a sophisticated rag. It does look like an old rag, but looks delightful when worn. I love the washed denim look also.... a color you can put with just about anything...... like an old pair of jeans.

Also, this weekend, I read this book......... "The Letters"

Read my book review on the side. A great book you should put on the top of your "summer reading" list.

More on My Weekend Travels

During my travels with the rental car this last weekend, I went to see my nephew, Buddy. Buddy has this wonderful dog. I can't remember the breed, but "Ruby" has almost no tail. Well, she fell in love with me and her little rear end waved back and forth like a windshield wiper in a bad storm. She is sooooo sweet. How could I not fall in love back!! I just wish I had a picture.

Buddy and his girl-friend Linda work at a resort in the Adirondacks on Lake George. During the winter there is no work, so Buddy has filled his time with woodworking. Pictured is a Needle-threader he made with Adirondack wood. It is just beautiful, and the workmanship is delightful to the eye. The gracefull curves are so elegant, and it narrows down at just the right spot to really get a good hold on it to get the thread through the needle. Definitely not one of those delicate aluminum hard to hold onto things we all buy at the store. I am honored that he gave me one of his creations, and will not only use it, but treasure it.

This Weekend

Hello to all -

I don't own a car anymore, so this weekend I'm treating myself to a rental car. From noon Friday to noon Monday, I will be roaming about here and there doing all sorts of wonderful things. Of course, "wonderful" depends on your prospective. I will go to Denny's and order off the senior menu. I will get my hair cut. I will go to the Dollar Store, and I will visit the Lake where I grew up.

Lake George is so beautiful, and I certainly miss being able to get in the car and just drive up there to rid myself of the home sickness I so often feel when away for any length of time. If I am lucky, I will be able to see my nephew and his girl friend, who work right there on the lake.

I have my list for the Dollar store, and Jo Ann's all ready to go, and am trying to figure out which other places to eat as I toodle down the road. Maybe McDonald's. "What???", you say. Well, I love a Big Mac's occasionally, and when you don't have a car...... there are no Big Mac's.

So, next Monday (or Tuesday if I'm really tired) I will be posting on my little excursions. Meantime, ............I'm off to see the wizard.......................

Many Blessings everyone
