Road trip continued....

 My uncle has always taken care of the wildlife at his homes, feeding them and making sure they have water.  Here are a few pictures of the deer that he takes care of every day. 




 He also has many bird feeders and the blue jays were in abundance.  Although I could not get a good shot of them as they were way too busy looking for their favorite seeds and then flying into the pine trees.  He recently added a fish pond, gold fish for now.  What a relaxing back yard he has....

 The gold fish are smaller guys and have started their hybernation since the water temperature has dropped.


And of course a sunset to end the day....

After a great day on Saturday visiting wineries and just taking in the breath taking scenery we had a nice dinner at home and then visited with some of their friends.  My Uncle Bob had an addition put on their modular home which was for his pub,  So here are a few pictures of fun in the pub, listening to music and chatting away...

Uncle Bob is in the maroon sweatshirt....

Aunt Colleen is there on the left with glasses

The winery my aunt works at decorated for fall


Over looking Keuka Lake from Dr. Frank's winery.  The grape vines are empty as they have been busy picking the grapes.  The view is just spectacular.  

A few decorated scarecrows in town.  Missed the festivities...maybe next year....

One last shot of Keuka Lake; all calm and sun drenched.  

I hope you enjoyed my short tour of the weekend.  I always enjoy heading up there.  Next year Phyllis and I decided to go in the summer to enjoy boating on the lake with Uncle Bob; maybe even a few shots of him water skiing.  Have a great week.

    Wow -- those two look like the most fun aunt and uncle EVER! They'd be fun to visit if they lived in (oh, what, some plain ordinary unscenic place)....but to top off everything they live in this cute town surrounded by that beautiful scenery. Your friend did exactly what I'd do in her shoes and adopted them as her own. Lovely visit.

A little change of scenery.....

This past weekend I was visiting with my old neighbor at her home in Michigan. September is very nice in the Grand Rapids area, warm days and cooler nights. It was refreshing to escape the humidity of SW Florida. There are sooooo many apple orchards in the area, and she chose one that she had not been too.  So here are just a few pictures.  No pumpkin patch or pumpkins.  Enjoy!

Learning something new....

They say as you get older you should continue to learn something new to keep your body and mind active.  Well, I certainly qualify for this. In December, I took sailing lessons, it was fun, frustrating and fantastic.  This has been fun on so many levels.  Just being on the water takes me to a very relaxing space.  Along with learning to sail comes taking pictures of the adventure, which isn't new, but taking videos is something new and then what do you do with all those videos. Well, you learn how to create something with them, which I did. I have created a YouTube channel to share this new adventure.  My friend and I are avid coffee drinkers and not decaf, which we incorporated in our channel name.   Our channel name is DeepSixDecaf . So after about 3 weeks of pictures and videos today I was able to post a video. Please stop over to the channel and take a look, here is a link for you.  Thanking you for taking the time to check it out!...

September 10, 2017 is a date that I will remember for a long time.  It is like 9/11, we remember where we were and what we were doing at a particular moment in time. The days leading up to September 10 were very busy, not only in my personal life, but at the office and with our staff.  Making sure that before we left that Friday we had all our equipment away from windows, stuffed in closets and covered with trash bags, just in case.  Everything was moved but the desks.  It had been a long time since the desks were that empty, almost like we were moving either into or out of this office.  Also, keeping in contact with the staff to make sure everyone was safe.  The plan was that I would text everyone several times a day and they needed to respond to me that all was okay.  They did a great job keeping up with this throughout the storm and afterwards. Leading up to the weekend, I had been preparing at home.  Making sure my truck had a full tank of...
