A Delightful Surprise

When Fredo and Mike visited us they brought real, New
Hampshire maple syrup with them. We immediately became
addicted to it and sun doesn't shine if we don't have waffles
and that syrup once a week.

Today, they sent me a birthday gift and it was a quart of
maple syrup from their very own trees. I can't tell you
how much we prize it.

It has been lovely here, in the seventies and very little
wind. It motivated me to paint porch furniture and work out
in the back yard. I can barely crawl but I got a lot done.
Adrienne helped me move it back and forth.

Adrienne is off to Memphis for her band trip tomorrow. I
sure hope she has a really good time. It is a 3 day trip
and their itinerary is packed . They leave at 4:30 a. m.
and plan to be there by noon.

I put some ferns and tropical plants out but I can snatch
them off the porch if it gets cold again. Next step,
more dirt to fill Rex's giant holes. When the ground warms
just a little more, the squash goes in.

I was able to collapse on a clean porch and drink a beer
and listen to the Platters. They were singing The Great
Pretender when I was seventeen and it brings back memories.

Happy birthday!!!! That's great about the syrup. I bought some organic "real" syrup and I didn't like it nearly as much as log cabin. Does it taste really different to you? Maybe we just got a bad bottle...
And your loving the song on the radio made me think of this video:

You may have gotten the wrong stuff. The New Hampshire maple syrup is
superb. If you need an address call me, I order it.

I don't know what doo-op means but I think I have heard and liked some of it. Meanwhile, you, Jeri, have more energy than anyone else I know.

I could use an extra dose right now. Dust is everywhere. I really don't
know why we have so much but is suspect the open baseball field behind our
house is the culprit. We can sit on the porch and watch ball games.

I didn't know Fredo had that much property and trees! 4C Camp for Adults is holding a sock hop on the first evening of camp, 8 August. Make a reservation if you can come to NY. Not as hot here as it will be there!

These days, I have to dance by myself. I probably don't have an entire
pair of socks due to the sock monster.

OMG, I love the Platters!! And, just like Laura, doo-wop is great, great music to me.

I love them and the old ballads like Smoke gets in your eyes. I like to
sit on the porch and play loud music.
reply by elderjane on Mar 16, 2013 9:17 AM ()
I love those doo-wop songs.

Me too. It brings back days at the lake, with music playing over the water
and the smell of the concession stands. Good Times!!
