Walking the Walkway on Sunday!

On Sunday, July 24, 2011, Greg and I took a day trip in NY. We traveled to Poughkeepsie, NY, and enjoyed the Walkway Over The Hudson. I was not sure if I was going to be able to complete the walk. I am every scared of heights.
The Walkway Over the Hudson is the Longest elevated pedestrian Park in the World. The bridge is an old railroad bridge that has taken 35 years to become a walkway for Pedestrians. You actually walk over the Hudson River and you are 212 feet up in the air. The bridge was completed in October 2009. The walkway is 1.28 mile in length. On Fridays there is a farm market located on the bridge.
The view was totally unbelievable. Greg's railroad tracks are located on both sides of the river. It was beautiful, a little hot but was well worth the time. I did get a little sunburn. I have no pictures---camera was not charged. So not well planned.
If you are interested you can go to www.walkway.org. If you are ever in the area you should take the time to see.

FAST TRIP!!!

We left on Friday afternoon and returned to New Freedom, PA, a 6 hour trip. Arrived late but was able to sleep in our bed and watch some TV. I have not been able to watch any TV for over a week. Did I mess anything----just the news. And the news is not very enjoyable any longer. We stayed long enough on Saturday to cut grass and for Gamma to vaccum and dust the house that continues on the market. Oh, yes, Gamma had to deal with another inspector for the house in PA. CSX has thought up alot of different inspections for this house. I cannot wait for Sept. 17, 2011, then CSX will purchase our house in PA. , for a much reduced price----but it will be gone. I still have to go back for the furnance cleaning and a window replacement----neither have been scheduled as of yet. I probably should get them scheduled.

We returned back to East Schodack, NY, on Saturday evening tried and ready to go to bed.
Today is mowing grass here!!! and working in this yard that has not had any TLC for years. I have some bird feeders up already and enjoy watching the Cardinals and Blue Jays along with the Finches. I also have the hummingbird feeders up and I cannot keep the juices in the feeders.

I have planted several Hosta but the neighbors are laughing that they are still here----with the deer that live in our woods. I will have to keep you posted how long they lasted.

Hope to post pictures soon.

READING and READING

Since I have stopped working several weeks ago I purchased a Kindle. I think it is great. I have read already: Water for Elephants----someone who has worked in long term care will enjoy this book; Go the F*** to Sleep, funny, funny (Even Greg read it); The Help, I enjoyed the book very much; and I just finished my niece's book, Little Misty: My Big Red Button, very sweet story, cannot wait for her next book. I am going to start RidingLessons by Sara Gruen tonight or one of favorite's author, Augusten Burroughs on Take Five---I will decide tonight as I get ready for bed.
I love to read by never had the time or I never took the time.

For now I am going to do the other thing I enjoyed so much in my live----gardening---I have a bunch of 25 cent prenenials that I purchased from Price Chopper for the new house in New York.

HERE IN NEW YORK

I never thought I would have a blog but decided to join the fast moving world and HERE I AM.

I have arrived in East Schodack, NY. I am no longer working at this time and I have a hard time thinking we have moved three previous times and I continued to work through the whole process. I have a huge job just keeping the appoints with who is fixing what and who is shutting off/turning on at the 2 houses.

I have meet the landlord's wife and 4 little kiddos. The kids range from 4 to 9 and there are 3 boys and the little 4 year old is the baby girl, Patricia. They are all very sweet.

I have already seen a deer in our yard and 2 wild turkeys. I placed a hummingbird feeder and have had luck in seeing numerous hummingbirds. The bull frogs keep up their part in the pond out front of the house.

The boys, Murphy and Rufus love it here. They never want to come in from their walks.

Will keep you posted!!!
