Another Cabin Update

Been working feverishly on finishing the cabin before winter sets in. Having a new septic system and a 2500 gallon water tank installed.

Cess Pool

The guy who made it all possible ,,

He assures me all will be done by weeks end.

Let’s hope so.

Am still waiting for the tree guy to finish up.

But hope springs eternal.

Syracuse State Fair

To the Fair

Started my day early as the trek to the Fair was 3 hours. However, the time went quickly as NPR was available the entire route. Don’t you just love NPR? I hope Judy Woodruff is enjoying her retirement. What a mountain of learning you achieve from that valuable resource!

On to the Fair..

So much to see and do..

Haven’t been in 15 years but somethings never change, and when it’s quality glad it doesn’t.

It was Beef Day at the Fair and started my visit with the Highland Cows. What gorgeous animals, had only seen them in Scotland, but a couple who came from Canada 🇨🇦 were showing these beauties.

What color, wish I could find a hair dye that color.
Another guy, check out those hooves.
Beef Benefits

And a few jokes..

And they had an area for cows in waiting and a nursery.

Moms to be
Babes

Then on to see goats getting a trim, they weren’t too happy on this.

Next The Indian Village

Did some retail damage here but always want to support indigenous folk. We certainly gave them much heartache stealing their lands.

Native Crafts

Bead Jewelry
🧺 weaving
Making a log 🛶
Rebuilding the historic long house

At the 4H Building some fascinating things are going on..

An idea for my next birdhouse – who thought to use popsicle sticks.

Got to hold a baby chick 🐤 so soft
And in a Rochester Middle School this is what is going on in their after school program- robotics!

The horses 🐎 and horse shows were fun to watch.

These guys came from Michigan for the festivities
Horse Show

Along the way the military was on display. Such interesting vehicles.

430,000 and that doesn’t include the electrical add ons
This was the Army, but all branches were present.
Girls Basketball drew quite a crowd. Guess this is really catching on. Long overdue.

Food Court

The Butter Sculptures
Chocolate Chips in a Cone
The Milk Booth. Four glasses for a $, chocolate or white, strawberry 🍓 served the last 5 days of the Fair.
And one more Food Court besides the Midway!

New York is becoming quite the whiskey 🥃 brewing State. Several vendors were prompting their wares.

My favorite was the alcohol 🥃 infused fudge! It also came infused with Chablis.

From here spent much time at the Cornell Master Garden exhibit.

Here I took a class on how to grow better tomatoes and composting. I even received one of the tan containers seen on the tables as a gift which I am now using to begin composting.

Vital Resources

Can’t leave without showing the flower displays..

But my main focus was to find ideas on what to plant to deter those hungry deer 🦌. Received much information and already have made many purchases.

Some other pics..

These pesky fellas flew all over and gave quite a show.

What an amazing and fun day!

And as with all good things they come to an end.

A nurse I work with who has been very helpful and I respect a great deal called needing someone to work for her the following day. She had a family emergency.

So I departed at 6pm.

That said there were many free musical 🎵 venues throughout the day and in the evening. Plus, seniors got in free! So, the days was quite a deal.

What can I say?

I love New York!

RFK gone from the race

And we all know it was no loss.

Maybe it was the heroin he did as a teen, or the worm in his head, but he is one fu-ked up guy. I think the rest of the Kennedy family is breathing a sigh of relief. Of course now he’s tossing his support to the rapist president in the hopes of a cabinet position.

🗄️🗄️🗄️🗄️🗄️🗄️

All I can think of with him is the 330,000 lost lives in Africa when he convinced leadership that HIV drugs were a danger. Then most recently 83 babies lives lost in the Caribbean when he told that leadership of vaccination lethality.

💀🏴‍☠️☠️💀😵☠️💀😵☠️

But what bothers me most is how he moved his ex-wife’s grave, (she committed suicide), to a different part of the Catholic cemetery, and now she’s buried alone forever.

Quite a guy. 

Workplace Elder Abuse

😓💪💉🧹📥✂️📌🏋️👷📎🗄️📁🗓️📐🧺🗃️

The NYC glow wore off quickly tonight during my 12 hour shift of screaming 😱 psychotic patients. But while that goes with the territory, elder abuse does not.

And I’m not talking about patients.

I’m talking about staff to staff.

At 68 years old thought 🐂 bullying was over, but guess not. Since I took this position in June one nurse has consistently acted odd toward me. My intuitive self knew we would never be “friends,” but last night proved it.

😭😢😪😿

Was informed by another worker she constantly trashes me when I am not working. Her favorite word for me vacillates between nerd and asshole.

🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

So tonight when she called by name I responded, “You mean nerd.” Then I proceeded to say, “I know you trash me when I’m not here.” To which she stood saying, “I don’t talk behind anyone’s back, I tell it to their face.”

To which my response was,

“You lie even more than Trump.”

Then I walked away.

I’m old enough to be this 🐥 grandmother.

Elder abuse.

I think I have a case.

BanskyMuseum

🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽

New York City is always challenging when you need to find a loo. I found myself in Chinatown on Canal St., in this state, when I came across this Museum. Knew they’d have facilities so decided to drop in for a visit to alleviate several needs.

🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻

And so glad I did as it was a fascinating visit. While a little pricey, $26 seniors, and $30 normal fare, it was worth the price. All works are reproductions, but well constructed, and organized to give keen insight into this elusive artist 🧑‍🎨 of world 🌍 renown.

🪄🪄🪄🪄🪄

So, if you don’t know this secretive chap am sure you will by the end of this blog.

Here he is..

Bansky began his work in England so perhaps he is a Brit? Don’t care to hypothesize on that. However, this is where he is currently active, so let’s start by checking out that scene.

Great bio..

Stop by, worth the visit.

Everything made with 💕

Great breakfasts and Cuban sandwiches

This place has been around for decades and may have blogged about it before but 🐻 repeating.

Not only are their 🇨🇺 Cuban sandwiches amazing their breakfasts are dam good, too.

Swiss Omelet with onions and 🫑

Went here today for their oatmeal, but sadly that wasn’t on the menu today.

So, guess I will just have to return!

🗽🗽🗽🗽

Next visit to NYC if you are in the Times Square area stop by Margon for a real treat.

They have daily specials.

Last Night: DNC

Almost sad to see the last night of this spectacular end. What a phenomenal ending to a potential Emmy award 🏆 winning show!

There were so many venues that I am unsure which was my favorite. Oprah, Hakim Jeffries, John Legend, the O’s – M and B, Hillary… The list goes on and on.

🎹🎶🎸🥁

Kamala’s acceptance speech was spectacular and enlightening. And while I was emblazoned my son in law was skeptical. I had visited Brooklyn so we could watch the festivities together as we both are political junkies.

🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

And this Minnesota guy is correct. One misstep in this play could sink us.

Good we have a coach on board.

The despot party 🎉 is evil so we’ll need to roll up our sleeves, and start the fight.

🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺

And we are going to win!🏅

Walz Night

Last night was an amazing night at the DNC. It was Tim’s night to shine, and he certainly did brightly!

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

What an amazing record he has!

  • Free school breakfast, and lunches for school children.
  • Cutting taxes.
  • Changing state jobs so those without college degrees can apply to many jobs.
  • Having an indigenous lieutenant governor.
  • Childcare advantages for those in the state.
  • Increasing opportunities for small business.

And this is a fraction of his accomplishments.

The record is stellar and across the board advantaging all.

The despot party has no idea how to respond and let’s hope in 74 days they don’t have time to figure it out.

⏰⏰⏰

Stereophonic

The Stage

Am in Brooklyn partaking the events of the DNC with my son in law while my daughter is in South Dakota doing a two week event.

🐕🐩🐕‍🦺🐾🐶🦮

She didn’t dare bring Rocco, the grand dog, as Kristi will be making an appearance at the event.

🤣😆🤣😆😄🤪😁😂

Obtained a $30 ticket 🎫 for this play as had many points from Today’s Tix, get the AP, great prices and benefits.

I didn’t get it as did many others.

Am told this play was loosely based on the group Fleetwood Mac. It followed a British rock group creating an album. With fast paced words and British accents literally had no idea what was being said or going on through the play.

Have no clue what the Tony folks saw in this.

Don’t waste your time or money.
