Labor Day Weekend

SEPT 1, 2018-   White Water Rafting in Ohiopyle, PA For the last couple years we participated with my husband's family in their Labor Day weekend get together.  Each year we take turns to give and recieve mementos.  For 2018 it was our turn to give  and we customised coffee mugs with pictures from our previous Labor Day in Chicago and suggested places to meet up in the future. A custom mug memento from our Chicago Labor Day get together. We went to Ohiopyle, PA for 2018 Labor Day mainly to do white water rafting.  Not my thing to do but I like to try anything at least once so I decided okay why not.  The town is very small and the picture below is their business district which has only few buildings and a cafe to the left.  Nonetheless we had fun not to mention the house we rented was big enough for eight people. We played card games and some relaxations. We had  a refreshments and cake at the Cafe on the River.  The Pecan pie was delicious! (But my husband s

Birthday Dinner

The Palm Restaurant in DC was the choice for the birthday dinner.  The food was okay and their service was good but they sat us at a small table that looks like it's only for 2 people and there were 4 of us.  So it was sort of tight for 4 people.   I dont mind the price if they make you feel welcome.  But when we got there the host didnt even look at us.  We told him we have a reservation and our name and he never looked up from his computer.  No 'Welcome so and so' and no eye contact.  Not going back there again.             

Winter Is Coming

Temperature is dropping each day so today I had to harvest the last veggies from my little garden.   I love the idea that when I need veggies and herbs I just go pick it from my garden.  But now winter is coming so no garden.  I will have to wait at least 6 months to plant. The geese at the left of the picture are getting ready to fly away.  They make our waterfront their personal flightline. Sparty loves to just chill and patiently wait for me! Even my crab cages is clean and put away for winter.  No crabbing!                                    

Turkey After Thanksgiving!

Forth Worth, Texas

Nov 11, 2016  Forth Worth, Texas.   Whenever we are in Texas and if we have time we come to this place, the Forth Worth Stockyards.   We like the old western look and feel of the town and the saloons. We traveled to Texas on election day.  The next morning this newpaper was displayed in our hotel front desk. Abilene, TX books for home Federal Lien Records  Nov 11, is Veteran's Day.   Dyess, AFB Memorial Park. Nice photo with the silouette.   Memorial area in Dyess, AFB has no flags.  We tweeted them on why there were no flags on the poles on Veteran's Day but they did not reply. The church where we got married 19 and a half years ago.    Getting our ticket for the rodeo show.  Entrance to the rodeo show.  Opening for the rodeo show.  After work lunch!

Maryland Fleet Week & Air Show 2016

Oct. 2016  This is our second time attending this event.  The last time though we went to the Harbour and watched from there.  At this event, we took our boat to the other side of Baltimore.   It is not a fun experience when the water is not very calm and you just want to relax.     Sparty wasn't too happy being on the boat.  It was rough for him because the water wasn't calm.
