September 20, 2008

Okay, so I know this I'm a little behind. Over the next few days you'll understand why. A few weeks ago it was my BFF's birthday. I've said it before and I'll say it again, all of my friends are ageless to me. So it was P's birthday and we did what we love the most.
Went on a road trip.

For one reason or another we haven't been able to do this all summer long. Her birthday was the perfect excuse. Before coming to a screeching halt at one of the wineries we stopped for lunch at our favorite place.

After lunch we had enough strength to stop at Duck Walk. J doesn't drink wine but was a sport and sipped at ours. There was only one that she liked.

So we bought a bottle and drank it...well, P & I drank it.

It was such a beautiful day.

We tried to go to Greenport, but there was some sort of festival going on and we couldn't find parking. We ended up going to Port Jefferson and walking around a bit. It was just such a relaxing day.

Then, we went home.

Catch up

Okay, first thing first:

Trip out East. Here's Paigie driving...oooooo! Next time we drive out there I will take a photo of the signs pointing out where the wineries are. Take note, when driving east most, if not all the wineries seem to be on the LEFT hand side of the road. If you've ever driven out to eastern Long Island, you will understand how difficult making a left hand turn on a two lane road on a summer weekend day is oh so joyful an experience. Then getting out of the driveway to continue the trip east is another fun thing to do. There are usually two signs pointing out where the wineries are. They are one on top of the other. The top has an arrow pointing upwards, indicating there is a winery up ahead somewhere. The one below that usually has an arrow pointing towards the left (to the opposite side of the road) letting you know the winery in question is RIGHT THERE!!! And when I say RIGHT THERE, I mean, RIGHT THERE!! I can't tell you how many tire marks I saw on the road where people had to stop short and make a sharp left into the driveway of whichever winery they were trying to get into. Alas, we did not stop at any....this time.
Paige & Joycie in Greenport. One day I will get them to turn around. I mean, the backs of their heads are really nice, but they are really quite beautiful from the front.
And here is our happy little camper. This is in Port Jefferson. I can't remember if this was before or after she met the love of her life, Matt, the waiter. Yes, we went to eat at a nice little Greek restaurant and ordered a Pizza for the little Miss, Joyce & I had Burritos and Paige...what did you have? I can't remember. I don't think it was Greek though.
It was pointed out to me that I have many more pictures of Marin than of Peter, so, here is our boy Peter and his Moocat - Samus. (I was also told that I misspelled her name, so here is the correction.) Isn't he handsome (Peter, not the moocat)? I can't believe how tall Pete is now. He's such a great kid.

And here is Peter with the great escaping hamster, Hamtaro (I know, I know, I probably spelled his name wrong). This animal escaped his cage not once, but twice. The first time they found him in the bathroom, the second time in the living room. With 4 cats and 2 dogs it's a miracle he was found.


May I ask you...at what point do you drop the camera, stop laughing your ass off and save the child whose hair is covering her eyes so completely she can't see, from drowning? Sadly, we were laughing so hard we actually didn't get a photo of said near drowning. Thank goodness for the nice man who stopped and helped her. Paige and I were of no use.
The sky looked like this today (and yesterday): So I am finally working on the other pair of socks for my nephew.

Okay, I really think that's about it for now. OH, I want to say to my Titi Aida and cousin Rosie. I just found out that Rosie uses this blog as a way to see what I'm up to (you can see her and my mom in a photo I posted about two weeks ago for TGI Friday). And I am thrilled to death that my Titi Aida has checked out my blog. I LOVE YOU BOTH!! XOXOXOXOX

Health Update

Okay, so I am feeling a tad better. I refilled my Alegra D script and am taking Dayquil to get me through the day. I still have a cough and a stuffed nose, but I am not dead tired and there's no fever anymore either. It's also been hot, no, try HELL HOT the last couple of days. And you can add HUMID to that too. I ventured to the beach last night and if I had been feeling better, and the water wasn't so cold, I would've been romping in the waves with Miss Marin.
I promise to post at least one of the three whole photos I took this weekend on my trip out to Greenport & Port Jeff.

Sick....Again

40 sucks. I haven't been sick this much since.....oh, I don't know, EVER!? I've been sick on and off since the first week of January. Ugh! Well on a nicer note, before I got sick I went out East again with Paigie and Joycie and Marin. If I feel up to it, I will post the two or three pictures I took while out in Greenport. I love that town. I would love to live out there. Maybe someday I'll buy a little house with a yard, get a sheep or two and spin yarn. Of course I'd have to learn how to spin first! My other dream is to open a gathering place that's a coffee shop with maybe some books/magazines and lots of comfortable seating where knitters, crocheters, quilters, spinners, etc can go and sit around and knit, and chat and not have to worry about getting kicked out because they are a fire hazard. Ahhhhh, dreams are a wonderful thing, aren't they?
