Last week we’d made a trip to visit family and attend a retirement party, in New York State. We had a great time there, and it was shorter than our regular trips, but we weren’t there for sightseeing so much as attending my stepmom’s retirement party.
But…we did do some driving and checked out a “camp” (these are not tented affairs, but buildings, that NYS calls “camps”; I love checking them out, especially if they’re on water…) on an upstate New York lake, the McColloms Cemetery, and drove to Barnum Pond, off of Route 30. It was a great trip, our last for the year—and it’s been a great year for fun travel, with our South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming trips!
But, now it’s time to buckle back down on my manuscript work (have I said this before?!), and continue readying for the rest of what I call “The Holiday Season,” which starts with Hallowe’en and goes through New Year’s….
Ah, what a fun year it’s been!

So glad it has been such a fun year for you Frank. Mine’s been trying…my brother almost dying, my ghost-gig fiasco (wish has a new glitch in it as of this week)…etc. BUT I’ve been invited to teach on two cruises this coming year so that will be fun!
Look forward to seeing you and Laura soon (and maybe Jan could drive up with you?)… Have a great one! It’s sunny here though chilly.
My good word for the year: Grateful.
Grateful for your friendship, Frank…
And I’m grateful for your friendship, as well, Karen!
We all have ups and downs in our lives, but we have to move on and make the best of them. I’m glad your brother is still with us and hope the rest of your woes work themselves out, Karen. Thanks for your kind words and for stopping—be seeing you soon! :-]
