I Guess It Ain't So Bad.....
....of course seeing my children and the rest of the family is the most important reason to be here in New York...but there are other good things going on and once the weather warms up...it's been in the 40's at night and except for a very few days in the last three weeks...the 50's and 60's during the day...this is much to cold for May..I hope June brings the summer-like weather that everyone who has endured the long winter up here have been waiting for....I do have some of the most beautiful sunsets to enjoy as well as the beauty of the season..
...my friend Richard did have to rub it in a little...this is how he spent most of his holiday weekend....Now I know how everyone feels in the middle of winter when I call home and tell them it's 82 degrees and I'll be fishing on the beach...of course the only reason Richard goes to the beach is to "troll" for a glimpse elusive "bikini fish"...
I did get to go to a great Memorial Day party at the home of my favorite ex-husband of my sister...she has several but I like Chuck the best...what a feast he puts on... clams.. chicken.. sausage.. hots... hamburgers.. pulled pork.. and all the other usual treats of a great picnic...we ate all day..my only regret is that I have but one stomach to give to my appetite...I wanted to eat more..I just couldn't....
We celebrated two birthdays as well.. Chucks and my great nephew Anthony.. I hope both of them get all they wished for.. I got mine.. five dozen clams.. did I mention we had a lot of food there?...
Of course there was plenty of other activities besides eating.. I caught some great pan-fish and the kids had a ball... some of them catching their very first fish... my nephew Dan got to paddle several of the kids out on the canal and except for about four inches of water in the bottom of the boat...everyone managed to stay mostly dry...
Some of my favorite people were there...my friends Dina and Rudy and my sister Jeane..Dina looks happy... I must have caught Rudy at a bad moment he looks like someone just ran over his cat.. and of course Jeane ... when she is rolling she keeps everybody laughing... 
Of course I have to include the latest pics on T.W.C.G. (for those of you un-informed..The World's Cutest Granddaughter) ... she got her first taste of summer.. last year didn't count she was to little...a new pool made for some great shots..
I guess this is her version of " Peak-a-Boo" ... 
... she loves hats or anything that resembles a hat... and she already loves to play dress up with mom's stuff.. 
... Daddy loves motorcycles and it looks like it runs in the family... this is her first and probably won't be her last... 
... Two shots that I just had to throw in... the first one is captioned "Mad? You haven't seen mad... This is MAD!! " the second.. " I didn't think she would get that upset about it " ...
Grandma couldn't make it to the party but here is a great shot of her and one of the newest additions to her great-grandchildren...
.. Does anybody know what this bird is?.. he showed up at my feeder just once and then was gone ... it's bad shot but I had to be quick... he kept flying off and then coming back.. haven't seen one like him since...
... here a few odds and ends... the first is the take off of a plane that can barely be classified as one.. the body is basically a go cart with a prop... I was having breakfast on Saturday morning at the small country airport near the lake and looked over as he was landing... when he came in for a landing the parachute collapsed a little prematurely and made a tangled mess.. it took him nearly an hour to get it ready for take off.. as he sailed over the horizon I could only hope that his parachute had a parachute.. 
... and finally two shots that were sent to me that I thought were worth passing on in the blog... 
Well That's All For Now...
