I am not a city girl. I love living in the setting I do. I am even outside of town and town is a small upstate village. I do have neighbors that I can see their homes but no sidewalks, sometimes no plows in a storm for hours. It doesn’t bother me at all. There… Continue reading San Francisco
It is fall! \’Nuf said. I have been off apple picking! My 20 year old daughter is home for her only real visit for the fall semester. She will be home right before Thanksgiving but she is bringing a gang with her for a concert. This is she and mom time. We went apple picking… Continue reading Apple Picking
My oldest daughter has always been a homebody. She love college life, though, and Niagara in particular. This past summer she stayed up there for the summer working. Summer work is hard to find in our area and what she was doing up there paid more. Anyway, she was home for three weekends all summer… Continue reading My Daughter’s Visiting
I was in total shock when my middle child – I guess in a group of six, the middle child can be either number 3 (who is half of a set of twins) or number 4 but I am talking about the twin – was chatting with me today. She said that her birthday is… Continue reading Age – Is it Just a Number?
Well, no, I didn’t run over someone and not fess up or steal anything. This is a parental ethical dilemma. My daughter gave me one of her brand new textbooks from her first semester at college. She has since changed majors and schools. I had originally given her the money to pay for her textbooks.… Continue reading Ethical Dilemma
I am on a roll today. Yesterday, work was really busy and left me little time to type. Due to that, I saw a lot of news/articles but do not put my opinion down to the page. I am a huge college football fan. Many reasons for this love but suffice it to say that… Continue reading Just what the h*** is college for?
Back in March, I wrote about planting schedules and my not-so-green thumb. I also wrote about trying to find the information on a local farm. Lo and behold, there was an article in the local Sunday paper insert USA Weekend that following week. It was all about community-supported agriculture. I was sooo excited and immediately… Continue reading CSA – or Community Supported Agriculture
Yesterday was the Maine-Endwell Chicken Barbeque. This is the main fundraiser for the Maine-Endwell Music Boosters – a group that supports music in the four schools in the Maine-Endwell school district. Yesterday’s was really interesting. It was the first time I was an officer of the music boosters so I worked a bit more than… Continue reading What a Weekend!
While I am sure other areas have this phenomenon, I swear I truly live in the land of the church bazaar. For those of you unfamiliar, a church bazaar – at least in the great Binghamton, NY area – is a fund raiser for whatever church it is held at. Normally, it includes a tent… Continue reading Land of the Church Bazaar
I have said it before – my calendar looks rather inky. I cannot seem to find many spots where there is not something written and the events keep coming. This weekend is one of my favorite events of the year – the annual Music Boosters’ Chicken Barbeque. We are all praying for good weather, though… Continue reading Music Boosters’ Chicken BBQ
