A FATHER DAY’S VISIT TO THE CEMETERY & HELPING MY B-I-L WITH PICASA 3.9

BY GOLLY THERE’S THOSE CLICKABLE RED SHOES AGAIN:))

Couldn’t seem to get myself interested in a walk this morning so Pheebs & Kelly went without me.  With a rare hankering for pancakes I headed the other way to McDonalds.  I’m sure Kelly’s morning decision was much healthier than mine.

BEEN DOING A LOT OF THIS THE PAST FEW DAYS

Kelly’s Mom & sister Becky whupped up a big lunch for everybody with mashed potatoes & a rack of ribs.  Holy Smokes we are sure eating a lot here.

I WONDER WHAT WE DID ON SUNDAY MORNINGS YEARS AGO WITHOUT COMPUTERS

I ENJOYED HELPING BROTHER-IN-LAW NORM LEARN A BIT ABOUT PICASA TODAY

Spent some time on the computers both this morning & afternoon.  Kelly brought her Mother’s laptop up to date with a series of updates, trouble shooting & general housecleaning as well as Norm’s computer later.  I downloaded PICASA 3.9 on Brother-In-Law Norm’s laptop & helped him familiarize himself with it.  I think he is really going to enjoy working away at all his old & new pictures with this free photo editing program.  It’s the same program many of we Bloggers use out here.

BACK SEAT CRUISING IN THE TOYOTA RAV 4 THIS AFTERNOON

Being it was Father’s Day we all loaded ourselves in Kelly’s Mom’s Rav 4 & headed ourselves a short distance to the nearby cemetery.  Kelly’s sister Becky driving with her Mom in the front seat.  Kelly, Norm & I in the back seat.  Pheebs stayed in the rig.  We visited Kelly’s Dad’s final resting place.  A very peaceful setting with large mature trees.  It’s an old cemetery with Civil War dead laid to rest there as well.

Probably the best frozen yogurt on the Planet can be found at a place called ABBOTT'S & they just happen to have a location right here in Spencerport NY.  It was Abbotts we headed for after the cemetery.    We all loaded ourselves up on super yummy yogurt cones with thick creamy milkshakes to boot.  Sure is good we have ourselves a bigger rig with more space.  We’re sure going to need it.  Well at least I am.  I’m afraid my weight is at an all time high & I hear we are headed for a big pancake breakfast in the morning with real maple syrup.  Oh Dear Oh Dear………………..

GROANER’S CORNER:((   A gentleman entered a busy florist shop that displayed a large sign that read, "Say It With Flowers."  "Wrap up one rose," he told the florist.  "Only one?" the florist asked.  "Just one," the customer replied. "I'm a man of few words."

  1. I love my ice cream - no substitutes for me! The trouble with moving across the country is that all my relatives are buried in the Ohio/KY/Illinois?Indiana areas.

  2. The weather warmed up for you and the sun came out. Sounds like you are enjoying your family time there.

  3. Kelly sure seems to be enjoying herself greatly!! We both fell off the diet this weekend while helping the kids paint--way too much fast food.

  4. Al, I have a LONG Knapp line through one of my dad's female lines! They lived in Connecticut. My dad was in New Guinea during WWII (U.S. Army) and he NEVER talked about it.

  7. Kelly, my dad was also a Marine Iwo Jima survivor! The only thing he ever mentioned about it is that he wsurvivor. The only thing he even said about that time was that he was one hill over from where the flag was raised there!

  8. I just discovered your blog via link from RVSue and the Canine Crew. What good timing! I grew up one town over from Spencerport (in Brockport) and spent many a childhood day at Hamlin Beach park, including birthday parties and summer picnics. My mouth is watering for Abbotts Custard. Ah such sweet memories from so many decades ago, and miles away.
