Fall is here

Well, fall is coming to Northern New York, we are lucky as we are still staying up in the 70's for temps and some sunny days, we were supposed to get rain for the last 2 days but it didn't come, instead it was warm, shorts and t-shirt weather.
.
We have been doing pretty good, Anna Mae had her tests, cat scans, CT scans and others and has had some medications changed, her back is not all that great but then again neither is mine, we make a good pair !
.
.





Well I see by the TV ads we are gearing up for another election, I am so sick of Politicians, most of them either Democrat or Republican are full of crap and self centered!!
.
.

.
Well it looks like winter is coming, this picture was taked several years ago, it was in February, it was just a MILD -24 BELOW ZERO, I had on my rabbitt fur cap, long johns, insulated flannel lined pants, insulated top, wool shirt, LL Bean Jacket and thermal heated gloves.
.
.





.
This is a far cry from the Picture above, I have been going out and doing some Treasure Hunting, I check out areas where people were a long time ago, like old rural schools, churchs, play grounds and cemetaries, it's fun and you find all sorts of things.
.
.






.
Jonathan was home from Portland for a nice visit, him and Anna Mae are standing in front of our Morning Glory which did really well this summer.
.








.
This is the Morning Glory in bloom, in the afternoon when it is out of the sun the flowers close up.
.
.
.






This is one of the nicer blooms from the Morning Glory, If it had a place to climb it would have made it to probalby 10 feet tall, they don't like you to too much outside here for some reason but I do have a corner to use and the garden was great this summer.
.
.




.
While out and about we came across this fence post and cut off utility pole dressed up way out on some back road.
.
.




.
The soft maples are shedding at a fast clip right now as you can see, this is our view from our living room.
.
.





.
This is our Soldiers and Sailors Monument Park, this area is one of the prettiest in the Village of Carthage for color on the fall leaves.
.
.
Glad everyone is doing OK, Glad to see Ken is Home, Janc and Sherry are Home, Johnny is OK and BRB is OK, Jimmy is still crooning in Florida and the others are all right.
.
. Let us not forget our Servicemen and Women and Veterans, Past and Present.

Another Season

Well, the Geese are starting to head south as we can hear them psaa overhead, the leaves are turning brown, yellow, red and fall to the ground, the days are3 getting shorter and we turn the page to a new season. We are supposed to have a FROST on thursday this week.
We just celebrated our 22nd Wedding Anniversary, this was on Sept. 2nd.
.
I want to wish Jack and Sherry a happy 55th and understand they are going on a cruise. I got a new laptop fopr the traveling and wwas going thru some old photos to transfer, I put most of the ones from the old puter on Data Sticks so as not to take up so much room but there are some I like to look aqt now and then.
.
.
The above picture is of my 60th Birthday taken with my Honey in Key West on my 60th Birthday.

.
The above picture is of our close friends marty and Penny and one of our all day Euchre Games.
.


.
In 1981 I was fishing the Chesapeke Bay and would have had a Record Sea Trout except while reeling it in something ate the back half off. Fish this size no longer exist in the bay as they were over fished.
.








.
This is My Legionnaire of the Year Award from the American Legion.
.






.
This is one of my favorites, my Northern Pike caught up in the Adirondack Mountains.
.







.
This was one of my finer moments when I was given my "Sailor of the Month" at Naval Station New Orleans.
.





.
In this picture I looked like a little Boy.
.








.
This was one of my first Guitars I had, wish today I had it back, $$$$$$$ !
.




.
Hard to believe but I really was a "Little Boy" !
.









.

I was lucky to have this picture taken, it is a picture of me as a baby and my Mothers Mother, My Great Grandmother.

.

.
