I prefer smaller, more intimate gatherings ( Read more... )

This weekend was another trip to Buffalo NY to check on mom and visit friends, and to feast of the foods I can only get in Buffalo.

Mom's still doing OK. The weather was mostly chilly and overcast all weekend. I'm glad I had the foresight to pack a light sweatshirt and jeans.

Fri 6/10: I was hoping to leave early (oh-dark-hundred early). ( Read more... )

I'm glad I did -- I left my tent behind as well. Then I headed out to Hueston Woods State ( Read more... )
