Where does the time go.

It seems like it has been forever since I wrote in here.
Went to NYC over Columbus Weekend and had a great time. Love that city and what it has to offer. Will add that information later, with what we saw, the places we ate and things we did.




This is a picture of my parents house I did for them last year.

Tomorrow is Halloween, I didn't decorate my Dad's house for the holiday. Dad didn't want anything done this year, still to soon after my Mom's death This was one of my Mom's favorite holidays since it was inclusive of everyone and was fun.

If your going out tomorrow night be good and be safe.

Who the hell designed this ride

I read, See My Briefs http://cscfon.blogspot.com/, where I saw this post and thought I'd post it here.
Now I know why he never wore pants.

Labor Day Weekend up in Maine

Michael's brother Lee was flying in to Bangor, Maine, for this Labor Day Weekend, to visit his brother Paul and sister Janis and we drove up there to see him, plus a friend of Michael's family died, wake would be on Friday. We left work and drove four hours to Bangor, Maine. At times traffic was heavy, mainly at the Hampton, NH toll booths. Glad it was a sunny day, the whole weekend was sunny, Michael drove the 1996 Camaro Red Convertible, the day using the convertible will be getting fewer as Autumn come rolling in with a huge burst of color. The it's time to leave the car in the garage for the next six or seven months until it gets warm up here. Glad we have the other car and truck to get around in. My face is sun burnt from riding everyday with the top down, NICE!!!!!

Here's a picture of the four of them, Lee, Paul, Janis and Michael, in front of Janis's house.

Janis and her boyfriend, Dennis, laid a new walk way to the front stairs using flag stones and increasing the size of her front garden. I think the walkway came out great, very nice garden this year due to a lot of compost from Dennis's yard.

Here a picture of the main drag in Ellsworth, it's a small city but fun to walk through with different kinds of shops and one great kitchen store, the Rooster Brothers, the store for cooks. One of the best I've been to.

Michael and I stayed at the new Hilton Garden Inn in Bangor, the place was nice and only has been opened for a week. Michael was ill Friday night and most of Saturday, So I'm glad a booked a hotel with a pool, that's where I spent most of my time, going between the pool and hot tub.
Besides getting to Ellsworth, great little City with fun shops, walk through downtown Bangor, they keep adding non chain restaurants and walk through the U of Maine art museum right there in downtown. Michael and I had dinner at Fiddlehead restaurant in Bangor, a must if your in Bangor. Food was outstanding, waitstaff as nice and helpful as can be, full bar and everything was reasonably priced, compared to prices on the Cape or in Boston and never mind NYC. It was nice to get away but always nice to come home.

NYC in October

I've been busy planning our trip to NYC in October.
Friday night at 10:00 booked "My First Time" at the New World Stage on West 50th Street. I like this theater, it where we saw "Naked Boys Singing" & "Alter Boys" both worth a take.

Saturday Evening at 8:00, "The Neil Simon Play, Brighton Beach Memoirs" at the Nederland Theater, and the last night in the city on

Sunday at 10:30 "Diane Schuur" at the Blue Note on West 3rd Street.

Cape Cod Melody Tent

This year I booked 4 shows at the Melody Tent in Hyannis, all of them on a Saturday night this summer.
So far we've seen;
Joy Behar, 25 July, who was very funny and would see her again, I know she preforms in NYC
The B-52's, 1 August, they put on a great show.
Chris Botti, 8 August, was amazing, love his music and would really like to see him again real soon. I know he's playing at the Blue Note in NYC over the holidays, but I'll be in NYC over Columbus Weekend. Don't think I'll be able to swing another weekend before the end of the year. I'm sure Michael would rather go some place else and warm at that for the holiday.
Just one more show to go and that will be it for the summer for music on the Cape.

It's been a full month since I posted anything

Where has the time gone, pulling up weeds like crazy in the gardens and installing low voltage lighting.
It's been a very wet summer here on the Cape, also it hasn't even hit 90 degrees here this summer, also it hasn't even hit 90 degrees here this summer.


Low voltage lighting.

The summer car that we've only use a couple of times

New side garden

More low voltage lighting down the other side of the house.

Ahhh summer on the Cape

I thought it would never stop raining, but it did. I've been making up for lost time, working out side in the yard when I can. I put in 7 Joe Pye Weed great for attracting butterflies, they're getting very tall. Hope they make it to their full height of 5 feet this year. If front them I planted Pink Turtle Head, light pink yarrow, and ten hills. Everything is looking great
This fall I'll be thinning out my day lily bed, I have over 75 pots to fill up and give away.
My hydrangeas are looking great and the heads of the flowers are huge. Think I'll take some pictures and post them here.
