A Finger Lakes Farewell |
| 6/26/2009 6:38:07 PM |
It’s soon the fourth of July here in the Finger Lakes and across this great Nation. Be thankful for the freedom that we do enjoy, but mindful that it was paid for in blood and suffering by the many who fought for this freedom. I post this writing so that we may never forget those who sacrificed so much for our freedom.
In January 7, 2009, there appeared an article in the... Read More |

Empire Tractor - My Father Would Have Liked This Finger Lakes Tractor Store |
| 6/19/2009 5:46:09 PM |
I visited the Empire Tractor dealership in Atlanta the other week and met Bill Harford (BillH@EmpireTractor.com). He and his father are shareholders in the Atlanta Division of Empire Tractor which offers multiple lines of farming, planting, harvesting, and lawn care equipment. Over the years, farm equipment dealerships have in many aspects changed along with the changing... Read More |

Mystery Trip Part II |
| 6/13/2009 4:51:04 AM |
| The Finger Lakes Region of NY covers a great deal of territory but there is another world waiting just across the St. Lawrence River in the Thousand Island area of Ontario, Canada. After we left Ovid, NY and got onto the New York Thruway, Jeanette thought for sure that we were headed to Skaneateles, but she was wrong. She never thought that we would be going out of the...

Celebrating Ten "Glorious Years" in the Finger Lakes |
| 6/6/2009 5:23:10 AM |
| Jeanette and I were married ten years ago on May 30th. It was the only time that we could get all of our children together for the wedding. We didn’t really go anywhere to celebrate our wedding but we did take Jeanette’s daughter and infant grandson Tyler back to their home in Venetia, Pennsylvania. Our new home in Canandaigua was already under construction and we moved to... Read More |

Escape to the Finger Lakes |
| 5/31/2009 4:30:23 AM |
It’s no secret that I sometimes escape from my daily cares by going for an evening motorcycle ride. A nice ride in the Finger Lakes is a sure way to get a close up look at Finger Lakes living and to see what is going on in the Finger Lakes countryside. When I was working full time, yearly vacations just didn’t come often enough. But then I discovered that just an hour’s... Read More |

Finger Lakes Winery Dog Duke - Is He Really Feeling Better? |
| 5/23/2009 5:58:13 AM |
When I visited Winery Dog Duke at the Wilhelmus Estate Winery http://www.wilhelmusestate.com/ (one of the Finger Lakes wineries located near Canandaigua) about a month ago, Winery Dog Duke didn't look good to me - he looked thin. And there was a sadness in his eyes that said, "Look, I am glad to see you but I am just not up to par today!" It was just one year ago... Read More |

Time to Remember In The Finger Lakes |
| 5/16/2009 5:01:01 AM |
The Memorial Days that I remember most were the ones when I was growing up in a small town in Ohio. I used to play in the high school band and on Memorial Day we would march from the high school to the Smithville cemetery. Once at the cemetery, there would be a short speech by a veteran whose uniform just didn't fit very well and then there would be a five gun salute. It... Read More |

I live here in this beautiful part of New York State because I chose to live here. The photographs that you see on my blog are mine and the places, events, or eating establishments that I write about are places that I have visited. And from time to time, I will offer some of my own opinions on various subjects which interest me.
There is a lot of information in our world... Read More |
