Ice Shanty onto East caroga Lake

Well Gang we had busy weekend , Jackie & Katie along with Blue came up to visit. We had shows going on at the Glove and I helped Dave & Fred to Launch an Ice Shanty and run more sap lines in the woods at the rear of Dave's property.

This is the shanty being pulled out onto East Caroga Lake by Dave's son, Eric using a 4 wheeler

Ahhhh..... Fred who is always a help but never seems to get into any of my photos.....Got you!

Dave & Eric hooking shanty up to 4 wheeler

Dave

That's Me helping out.

We later headed into the woods at the rear of Dave's camp and ran more lines for Maple Sap. If you look close you will see Dave off my right shoulder behind the trees. It does not look too bad as the sun was shining and not too cold...snow was too deep to walk without snow shoes. I had lot of fun with these two guys. Going back for more in the next few days...... I did not bring my camera so not many photo's. This is at least a mile & 1/2 in the woods , Fred & I rode in on a 4 wheeler, Dave used his tractor

Brian this is not too far off that logging road that you hunted on for the 1st time , rear of Dave's property, where old tree stand was.

Again Had a Great time with Jackie & Katie ........So much more to come!

Having the times of our Lives!!!!!

Walter , Mike, Nicole ,Payton, Brian & Ashly we Miss You!!!! Come Back soon.

As I type we are having a heat wave...almost 50 and they say we will hit 58 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.
