More maple Syrup and Some Outdoor Shots While Snow Shoeing

Well Gang I'm back with some new stuff. Friday Dave and I, in the afternoon tapped a few more trees and wander the woods in snow shoes, the only way to get around as the snow is up to our knees without snow shoes.

I took some great shots so I thought i would share.

A Cold Adirondack Stream.

An Almost frozen over creek in the woods

Some creek shots and tubing bringing sap to the collecting bucket

Checking lines and installing more.

A maze of tubing

Porcupine tree damage, chewed up bark.

Well its late for me and typing is coming hard tonight so I will be short winded.

Today which is Saturday night I did not help Dave but I did ride with my Bride , Jen,to Amish Country.

She will be posting pictures in her post. Was a warm sunny day and we decided to hit the road and visit a couple Amish Farms. A good time was had by all!

I let Jen take the lead on the happenings of the day

Til next time Gang.........., Jerry

Welcome Friends

After suffering a heart attack in 2007, it became clear that I had to make some lifestyle adjustments. We were already owners of a rustic cabin in upstate New York. Once we established that my retirement from my job as Secretary to the Chief of Police on Long Island would be a huge financial burden we decided that moving permanently to our unfinished cabin would be the best way to make the necessary changes for my health. After securing "permission" from our youngest daughter, who at 13 would be making the move with us, we made the move in June of 2008. Our four oldest children still reside on Long Island, along with our families and old friends. It has been a tremendous journey, both physically and emotionally, but we've done it! This is the story of our journey, and our ongoing experiences as middle aged lovers of life. We are truly all in this together! Jennifer

Memorable Senior Moments

Today I drove to town for the purpose of picking up a fresh vegetable for dinner. I came home with seeds for the garden, half off chocolate easter eggs, wrapping paper and bows, tape, sponges, garden nippers, bath salts, doilies and facial cream, exfolient and baby oil. No vegetables.
Today I spent a serious amount of time trying to change the channel with the cordless telephone. Scary.
Ever bought reading glasses? I did last week, and in church I was looking down and realized that for ONE WHOLE WEEK I had left the strength sticker (2.00) on the glass lens. Ah, senility. What else can we laugh at?
Have you ever walked around in public with a pair of sunglasses on and your reading glasses propped on top of your head? And then realized you needed to read something and walked around for twenty minutes or so looking for your reading glasses? And all the time they were on top of your head? Me either.
Getting lost in Peebles Parking Lot. Not confused, Lost. I now understand what the "Panic" button is on the car opener. Interesting.
Forgetting WHAT I was going to add to this list. It was something. Oh yes! I spent a considerable amount of time looking for my theatre keys, which are on a long loop. I called home, and Jerry asked "Are they on your neck?" Yes. They were.
