I had to be at Norwin Square at 7:50am for my medical test. I was nervous about it but then I’m generally nervous about everything! Turned out it was much easier than I expected, but then I haven’t got the results yet….
From there I went to work and spent a few hours at Pinnacle before stopping at Mike P.’s. Turns out I actually had to go there twice. That was tiring. I stopped at the bank and the post office on the way home.
You inspired me, Gen! Very appropriate!
Not sure if I mentioned yesterday that when I got home I discovered that my fridge wasn’t working. The freezer part was ok – so far. I tried calling my repair man but he doesn’t service the ‘electronic’ Whirlpools. I called around but didn’t find any help. I’ll try again tomorrow. For now I stuffed everything I could in the downstairs fridge and put the rest in a cooler with ice. Hope I don’t have to do that for long.
Sort of like this.
When I pulled in the driveway after work Fred was sitting there by the walk, nibbling. Is it my imagination or did he get chubbier while I was away?
So back to New York. We got up early Tuesday and grabbed breakfast at Wendy’s down the street, then filled the VW with gas. We hit Schenectady about 11am but Kath wanted to stop in Walmart. We browsed around the store like we didn’t have anything else to do! We made it to Gen’s about 1pm. Walked in the door of her beautiful house and she had the Beach Boys playing on Alexa! What a welcome!
Arrival – Me and Kathy on the back deck.

My Beach Boys!
She gave us a tour of her house, helped unload the car, and we had cold drinks and chilled out for a bit.

This is a giant gourd but it looks like a Hershey Kiss!

Her gardens are lovely (Master gardener – of course they are!) and the yard and location of her house are perfect.

The favorite thing about her house is the slate roof. It’s very unique and beautiful – goes perfect with the landscape and the setting.
Her friend Jessica and two children – James and Maisie – came for supper and we had a nice evening getting to know each other. We had ‘build your own taco/salad’ and ice cream for dessert. Once we got the kitchen cleaned up we were about ready for bed. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. (Spoiler alert – that would be my birthday!)
