Back Home Again!
Well, here we are, back home again. Sittin' on the porch lookin' at the lake, listinen' to Radio Louisana Zydeco, updatin' our blog.
We spent a week in NY and it rained every day. But the fellowship was excellent and the food was fantastic. After Nathan's graduation which we talked about in a previous blog, we did a whole bunch of stuff. On Monday, Beth, Angie and I took Nahan to Northern Frontier Camp in the Adirondaks. On Tuesday, we went to NJ and stuck our head in at Control Associates (where I worked when I had to work for a living). We saw Gary, Susan, Nicoletta, Carl, Dan, Bill, and Mark. From there, we saw Don and Evelyn and had an excellent lunch prepared by Evelyn. We gabbed a lot and solved a lot of problems. We always have a good time talking with them because we cover a lot of topics, agree on some, disagree on others, and make the world a better place in which to live........ We
took Beth & Steve out for dinner on Tuesday evening.
On Wednesday, we went to the N.Y. Fireman's Museum in Hudson, N.Y. It was a great exhibit with lots of fire engines including hand pumpers & steamers from the 18th & 19th centuries. I didn't take any pictures because I didn't know where to begin. On the way back, we stopped at Clermont, the home of the Livingston family. Trivia: Robert Livingston administered the oath of office to George Washington.
Pics of the Livingston house and a view of the Hudson River from their front yard.
We took Emily out for Dinner on Wednesday evening because she had to work on Tuesday at dinner time.
We left for home on Thursday but stopped to see our former neighbors, Thad & Mildred. We had a good visit with them and this gave me an opportunity to take some pics around our Fishkill home.
On the left is our house the first winter after it was built in 1969. Shiver me timbers, it was cold there without any trees to break the wind! On the right is a picture taken on June 29, 2006 from the same angle. It was tough to get a picture that wasn't all trees! The people who live there now that were not in the original pioneers that built the neighborhood have no idea of how hardy a person had to be to live atop "Windy Watch Hill"!
