It's been such a long time since I have posted here. My time is limited these days. We have to prioritize to keep things under control and this has fallen by the wayside.

Thought I'd at least post a photo or two and let you know I am still alive. Hope you are too! Enjoy every minute and take the time for a few deep breaths.

My photos: artwork given to my my grandkids - they have the very best art teacher at Keeseville Elementary and they are both great artists. I love it!

The bike is a tribute to North Country Life Flight's air rescue mission, done by Donny at Saranac Lake Youth Center. The Youth Center is doing these bikes to pay tribute to organizations and business owners can contact the Youth Center to have one done for their business at a very reasonable cost. Life Flight's was donated and someone made a private donation to the Youth Center to help with the costs of flowers. A wonderful project - look for Life Flight's bike in downtown Saranac Lake, right in Berkley Square.

The yummy fruit basket was made by my granddaughter Bailey and her mom Cris when they came for lunch one day! YUM!

Another Friday! I couldn't resist writing with news you can hopefully use! A good weekend to cozy up to your radio on Saturday night at 6-8 pm for the Prairie Home Companion Joke Show! It's on your favorite public radio station or you can even listen via computer. I'm looking forward to it!

As our temperatures plummet to near -20 this weekend (colder in Raquette Lake and Lake Clear I bet) it will be a good weekend to have a laugh. I hope your weekend is quiet and safe. May you have some time to relax and stay warm!

My joke this week is one I altered a bit...

How do you turn your disherwasher into a snow removal machine?

Hand HIM a shovel. I'm lucky to have a husband who washes some dishes... he laughed when I told him so I hope you will too. And he's pretty good at snow removal too! The original version was HER....

And a thought for the week...

Money can't buy happiness--but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

Be careful on the roads and stay safe and healthy everyone!

 

What a difference a few days make! These flowers still look lovely - thanks to my friends MJ & Chuck for such a colorful bouquet. Today outside that window is a coating of white. Guess the garden is going to wait a bit longer...

My dear friend Darlynn built a snowman during our last storm and sent the pics. Finally, here they are. I love her snowguy and happy to see Darlynn "enjoying every minute!"

Lessons we can learn from a snowman

Wearing white is always in style - even after Labor Day.

Getting outside in the winter is good for your health.

It's fun just to hang out in your front yard.

We're all made up of mostly water.

Accessories don't have to be expensive.

Don't get too much sun!

If you're a little bottom heavy - hey, that's okay!

You know you've made it when they write a song about you.

If you look down and can't see your feet - you're probably not very active.

If your skin is yellow it may or may not be jaundice.

Pickles on your eyes are a great moisturizer.

Coco hanging around the garage on her beanbag. When she is not curled up she helps David work on his latest project - 1969 Chevy pick up restoration... The first pic is the truck when David brought it home. We'll document the progress...

Me and Jenna in NYC at Toys R Us - we took a ride in their in store ferris wheel. I took her sister Bailey to NYC when she was in 1st grade and always had promised Jenna a trip to NYC. Glad we got to do it with her Aunt Mary and Arielle!

Me and Jenna at Ellen's Stardust Diner in Times Square. Our singing waitress stopped by the table for pic with us. A fun place to eat!

 

Long time no post. David, Coco and I took a roadtrip to Ticonderoga this week. I brought my new Nikon Coolpix and couldn't resist this shot of PokoMoonshine...
