The Days and Petersons from Oregon

Such a small world.  We looked out our window this afternoon and seen 2 motorhomes from Oregon come into Green Lakes State park, NY.  We recognized the Adventure Caravans "egg" on the back and went over to say hello.  It was Dan & Carolee Day and Dudley & Virgina Peterson!  We seen Dan & Carolee in Houma, LA;  Nashville, TN and Branson, MO.  We seen Dudley & Virginia in Colorado Springs, CO and again in Branson, MO. What a small world.  It is just wonderful to run into old friends along the way.

Green Lakes State Park

Cheryl enjoys a relaxing campfire at Green Lakes State Park in Upstate New York.  Green Lakes SP has 2 beautiful glacial lakes dating back to the Ice Age with a hiking trail around the lakes.  Wish you were here.  Tomorrow we head to Senaca Falls, NY to visit Charlie and Gayle Parker who are here to check out his old family homestead in Port Byron, NY

Grandparents again!


Our son, Brian and his wife Erin, presented us with a bouncing baby boy, June 9th he came in at 9 lb 2oz! Erin was so happy and relieved.  She had to have a C-section. All are doing well!  We are getting ready to head North 65 miles to Green Lakes State Park in Fayetteville, NY to spend time with our other grandsons and son for a few days. Cheryl and I will stay in the park for 10 days as we have a lot of Dr. appts in Syracuse, NY that week. We always get our check ups done for the year prior to our yearly travels. We are getting ready for a tour in Wisconsin in July, a tour of the West Coast in Sept, Napa Valley Reunion in October and finally for the years end, the Rose parade in Pasadena, CA. We plan to winter in Southern Calif. and parts of Arizona. As soon as I get some more lessons on how to post photos, I bring you up to date with them.

Brian & Bailey


After a wonderful lunch with Cheryl's brother and sister in Candor, NY, we drove over to visit Brian our son and his family in Newfield, NY. Baily won the Pinewood Derby Race in his scout troop and was very proud to show off his trophies. They are expecting our 9th grandson (10th grandchild) this coming week. We talked and talked then went out to dinner at Sammy's, a new Italian buffet restaurant in Ithaca, NY. We expect a call within the next 7-10 days with news of Alex James L'Amoreaux's arrival. Erin and Brian liked the new baby clothes we brought for the baby. We are excited about the new baby and feel very blessed with wonderful children and their families.

Lunch with Rachel and Louis


I had lunch today with my favorite sister and brother at Jack's Restaurant in Candor, NY. I love spending time with them as they are great,lots of fun and they make me laugh. I think we take after our mama's side of the family as we have so much in common. We're making plans to spend more time together going to an area casino while we are home in NY.

Cheryl In Wheel borrow

This is my grandson "giving" me a ride in the wheelborrow! Boy was that a fun, bumpy ride! But we had fun!

Shopping with Girlfriends

What a wonderful day for shopping! This is tradition too! Shopping with my girlfriends, Judy & Janet. We have a blast. We start early in the morning and come home when the shopping is done. We hit as many stores and we can, and in between stores run our packages to the car so we can shop some more. Judy is excellent in finding the bargains! I love it. I love my shopping days with my girlfriends. Another reason to come home. On June 12th we will have our "Gang" get together with our spouses and revisit fun times over the past 30 years!
