Given the spring storm and the heavy, wet snow, you might be having a hard time coming up with a feel good moment today. That wasn’t a problem for me because Monday is my day with Evan. My favorite part of watching Evan is giving him his bottle. I always hold him on my lap […]

I got a workout today taking Evan for a walk in the stroller. Besides the steps, pushing that stroller up some of the hills in Gananda has to build up muscles. I found myself being really grateful for the new sloped curbs. When I walk alone, I usually I find my walks relaxing. I think […]

Last year we had a nest of robins under our second-level deck. In fact, there were two sets of babies that hatched there, and every day I checked on them, watching them grow and finally leaving the nest. Gary thinks that birds’ nests belong in trees and not on houses, so this year he decided […]

Have you ever been in the right place at the right time? I felt that way yesterday. After attending that memorial service, I needed to take a walk. The day was sunny and cool – perfect for walking – so I treated myself to a stroll down nearby Oxford St. The magnolia blossoms were just past their […]

Today my steps took me to a memorial service at Third Presbyterian Church (I don’t know what they did with the first and second churchs) on East Ave. This, along with St. Paul Episcopal, Incarnate Word Lutheran, and Asbury First Methodist, is one of those mainline Protestant cathedralish looking churchs that you would expect to find […]

This year I bought my Easter candy at Encore Chocolates in the Stutson Street Plaza. It’s amazing how much money you can spend on candy, but everything there looks and smells wonderful. You can even buy a chocolate bowl for your chocolates in three or four different sizes. But the most fun I had was […]

Is it my imagination or are there more cherry trees in the Rochester area than there used to be? Besides seeing the trees in yards or in parks, I’ve been noticing them all over in parking lots. Check out Wegmans Eastway or Home Depot in Panorama. They both have dozens of beautiful trees blooming now. […]

I came home with a few new photos from my month in Florida, like this one of Evan meeting Tigger, but I found that the most awesome sights of my trip were unphotographable, especially by an amateur like me. For example, after an early morning rain, I saw the most beautiful rainbow (is there ever […]

Have you ever wanted to call the Elevator Police? This week I wanted to do just that. Let me explain. One night Gary and I were walking back to our resort from an emergency trip to Dunkin’ Donuts (They’re not Donuts Delite, but any port in a storm as my mother used to say) when […]
