October 21 & 22, 2007 Pics

 

This picture was taken at a "turkey shoot". He says he will be shaving his head after Halloween. He also told me that last year, he had a Christmas tree with a candy cane on it and red and blue lights. He strikes me as a man who isn't afraid to enjoy the fun things in life.

I was hoping I could upload a bunch of pictures at once (using Picasa). I forgot the system doesn't work that way. It seems to limit me to four at a time. (So I am uploading them in groups of four at a time and copying the code into my original post. I save it as draft until I have finished adding and arranging the photos, adding text, etc.) I am using the smaller view so be sure to click on individual pics to see the larger version.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
     
     

Fun and Friends

This past weekend, I attended a birthday party for the husband of a friend that I met when I first went to work at Cornell University. I have been retired for five years next month. The birthday party was really nice and a lot of fun. They had a band called "Radio London". The dance floor was full for most of their songs. They don't do "country", but they were really good and did a lot of the songs from my era. While I was at the party, my good friend Brenda and I learned of a lunch and wine tasting trip, and then a visit to Country Critters (which is owned and operated by another Cornell friend and her husband) planned for this past Tuesday by some of our other Cornell friends. We were invited to join them. We had a great lunch on the deck at Castel Grisch winery. The weather cooperated for lunch and part of the wine tasting. By the time we got to Custom Critters, the rain had subsided for the most part, but would have been too muddy to go through the 9-acre maize maze (my name for it). But I took a picture of the framed aerial photo of the maze. The maze amazes me!
