Old Forge & Kayaks

Old Forge & Kayaks, That was the Plan for the day yesterday. The weather was reported to be rainy and we have colds. Pam & Chuck did not come to see us because of the rain and us not feeling so hot. Well we ended up feeling a little better and the weather turned nicer then expected. That Being Said .....we got into the Pick up and headed north to Old Forge. An outfitter in Old Forge was selling off New and used Canoes and kayaks as he does every year at discounted prices. Ali still suffering with a cold decided to stay home on the couch. Jen & I Have been talking about getting a kayak for some time ....I almost had my hands on a couple a few years ago while not yet retired but that's a long story, You guys from work know it,I'll just leave it at that! Anyhow we are looking for Kayaks.

So this sale looks like the place to find one. We have been thinking of a 2 person one cause we are old and if one wants to take a break the other can paddle.

Hey Jen, I thought the Guys

Gets to be in the back of the Kayak?

So we tried one out and it was a great ride, Jen & I loved it and took it for a little spin.

Just a Great place to Kayak.

A lot of kids and family out and about testing Kayaks.

Jen Looks Happy and I got the back.

Is she Getting Younger?

Heading back in to shore and weighing What we are going to do...To buy or not to buy??????

We ended up holding off for this year as we have other priorities and this just did not fit in this years budget.

So off we drove deeper into Old Forge for a day of wandering in and out of stores.. we did have some minor rain off and on but in general it was a great day. Chain saw carved pumpkin and bear in the Snow Mobile.

This is an interesting place along the way into Old Forge...Plane thru the roof and it's called the WIG-WAM.

Go figure...a plane and the name of an Indian home

Taking a little break on the way home we stopped to look at this little lake.

That's why the brightly strung across barrels, a water falls.

Just great Eye Candy

Very Nice

Walk path along side of the closed bridge

Best View of all.....A smile on Jen's face!!!!! Well Gang, That's about it for today.

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.
