Summer has Arrived Here in Caroga Lake

Well Gang .....I guess it's up to me to post since Jen is down on Long Island. SUMMER HAS ARRIVED HERE IN CAROGA LAKE!!!!! It was at 4:30 pm 86 degrees here and down on L.I. 74 as reported by Jen on her car thermometer. I worked here around the camp, planted 20 blueberry bushed along side of the pasture. Then I moved over to the Bee Yard and added some more wire around the electric fence to keep the bears out. As you may recall it was May of last year that the bears made an appearance destroying the hives and eating all the honey.

So we add more wire.

Bee are flying today

Feeder jars

Ran into some friends that arrived for the summer , Dave and Cathy

Good to see them again.

The town just full of summer people cleaning their camps getting rid of those leaves and branches . Doing repairs from winter damage but it's all good and everyone seems to be happy returning. The lake was beautiful today with a couple boats tooling around.

I have been leading the bachelor life and after doing the yard chores, cleaning the house and catching up on laundry headed out the last two night to one of the local restaurants, "The Outlet" for dinner. I have also been watching the Yankee's losing the last two nights against Boston.

With the sun that was out today I'm burnt pretty good , tee shirt tan, and only part of my face because of the baseball cap. After cleaning up, the summer shorts came out for the last few hours of sun, 1st time this year.

Anyhow gang that's it for tonight, Jen should be back posting Monday...( Or is it really me ?)

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.
