LOOK what came today in the mail!!! My winter boots----not too early I think. I sure hope these Crocs are going to keep my feet warm while I walk the boys.


Continue of the 40th Class Reunion













Marlene and I continued on visiting NY City on Tuesday---We drove in to Hoboken, NJ, and enjoyed visiting the CAKE BOSS' business. Yes we did get to go into the building finally after 2 attempts. It was very crowded and very, very expensive. Just to say we were there is a plus. We enjoyed visiting the Statue of Liberty that day also. The Lady in the habor is not as BIG as I thought she would be in my mind. She is beautiful. I was able to climb all the steps you need to for the observation deck. Oh, what a view. She is now closed at this time for 1 year to rebuild her touch.










On Wednesday, Marlene and I enjoyed a bus trip to NY CITY with most of the tour group a little older than us but we had a great time talking to the group. It was a horrible day for the weather. COLD, rainy, and the wind blowing 15 to 20 miles an hour. We enjoyed the 9-11 Memorial. The memorial is so impressive. All of those names on the memorial were way more than I could imagine. I just wish we could have seen the 9-11 memorial on a beautiful day. We spent a lot of time in TGIF enjoying refreshments and drying out. Even with the inclement weather we had a good time. Returned home at 10:00 p.m. after leaving at 6:45 on the bus.

CLASS REUNION!!!40th













Last week from Oct. 20-25 my best friend from high school visited. Marlene (Leister) Davis and I were best friends in high school---somehow we drifted apart with me getting married and having a family soooo young.







HOWEVER, we have come back together and enjoyed a beautiful 5 days together. We enjoyed our time and it has been 40 years since our 1971 graduation. The class is having a 40th class reunion but Greg and I will not be able to attend this time, so Marlene and I decided we would have our own CLASS REUNION. WE did started the day Marlene arrived. Greg, Marlene and I enjoyed lunch at the CheeseCake Factory and then onto the HudDucks of Albany. Above is our guide for the Duck Tour. We had a great time on the Ducks and then at the end splashed into the Hudson River.










Sunday Greg took us into NY City and we enjoyed the Staten Island Ferry--the only FREE thing in NY City. We also enjoyed watching and talking to the people in Occupied Wall Street (I am not very good in placing pictures where they are suppose to be).






On Monday we took the Amtrack into NY City and enjoyed the beautiful fall folliage on the way. It is a 2 hours and 15 train ride into the city. Drops you off at Penn Station and then we walked from 31 street to 59 street to Central Park. Oh, what a beautiful park.

FALL HERE







There is all kinds of trips to the White Mountains, Catskills and other mountains in the area. We do not have to travel anywhere. Out our front and back doors are the most beautiful view.
