Day 325

Where’s Sally? Off to spend Thanksgiving in Florida with Robyn & Tom and the family. Here’s a Rochester trivia question for you. Can you name all of the countries on the clock of the nations? For all of you newcomers to Roc, this clock was in Midtown Plaza for years, and is now at the […]

Day 324

The girls and I treated ourselves to manis and pedis at Posh Nail & Spa today. This is a new place at the corner of Rte. 250 and Rte. 441, in the plaza that’s diagonal from McDonald’s. It was perfect for us because: It’s close to where we live, We can go on the spur […]

Day 323

I’ve found a new way to get steps, and that’s by carrying around my new grandson. At eight pounds, he’s still light enough for me to carry easily, and it might be my imagination, but when we’re walking around together, he’s looking right into my eyes. At 2 weeks old, I’m thinking he knows his […]

Day 317

My steps today took me to the Greece Historical Society and Museum on Long Pond Rd. The Society is located in a restored 1850’s farmhouse with an addition on the back for the museum. This house is a place where you immediately feel at home once you step inside. It’s comfortably decorated – not fussy, […]
