Michael brought our hay out...and after he and Bob got it unloaded...
Bob covered it...
with help
And The Cat had to make sure it was done right...

Lunch at the Brew Pub

Would you believe I didn't take my camera. That's right. Anyhow Brian and Hunter invited us to lunch with his in-laws Karen and Richard. Krishna was at work at the school. Karen and Richard were here for a short visit getting re-acquainted with their grandson. They are the people we visited in Alaska and gave us the wonderful fishing trip on their boat. Karen took pictures and promises to send me some. When she does, I'll blog some. One in particular I have in mind, with the granddads, Brian and Hunter.

View of the Hudson River from the Palisades Englewood Cliffs New Jersey

I came across this picture of a wonderful watercolor done in 1873. This is where my Grandmother Pape, then Alice Amelia Coyte, was born and raised. My interest in genealogy always springs to life when I see something like this. Thought some of you might enjoy seeing it too.

We're done haying!

We got Michael's hay up Friday. We finished our hay last night. We had finished with the baling, but got rained on a little while Michael was still stacking. We stopped for about 45 minutes and let it dry...then he got that picked up.

Some good news to report, Erma Shriver is up and around good enough to play bridge. She may join us Wednesday if her "schedule" works out. She played last Friday. Best news I've had in a long time.

Today we begin "catch up" around here, for much neglected stuff during our haying. The clothes lines are full...and here I am, dinking on the computer. May be what gets accomplished today.
