Wine Wednesday has become a weekly tradition at our house. And when we’re not at home we still find ways to make it happen…no matter where we are! Our visit to Little Falls, New York was no exception. After a VERY busy day of exploring we were more than ready to stay in and enjoy […]
Erie Canal Cruises – Herkimer, NY
The Erie Canal is amazing. In fact, New York’s canal system is nearly 200 years old…and it’s been in continuous operation since 1825! So last summer, in spite of the rainy weather and foggy skies we simply had to experience a transit though Lock 18. After our morning spent prospecting for diamonds we were soaked and […]
Herkimer Diamond Mine – Herkimer County, New York
Prospecting for a diamond? That was never on my list of things to do in New York. But when we discovered a diamond mine was located so close to Little Falls we just had to try our luck! As I’ve said before, Mother Nature was quite unkind to us during our New York adventures. The […]
Canal Side Inn – Little Falls, New York
The Canal Side Inn is “within spitting distance” from our beautiful room at The Inn At Stone Mill. In fact, when we stepped outside the door of our building we could see it right across the street. Earlier on that Tuesday we had discovered several reasons for checking out that restaurant in Little Falls. Our […]
Cafe At Stone Mill – Little Falls New York
Sometimes a little Cafe is exactly the right spot to go for lunch, and the Cafe At Stone Mill was just an elevator ride down from our room at The Inn At Stone Mill. The cozy combination cafe/gift shop is located on the first floor of the historic Stone Mill building, built in 1839. (It […]
The Inn At Stone Mill – Little Falls New York
The Inn At Stone Mill. Where do I begin? When researching a place to stay in Little Falls I stumbled across this picturesque inn. First off, let’s just say I was hooked before I even contacted the place. Old hotels. Rustic hotels. I adore the history of the old buildings and I only wish the […]
Bar Stool Conversations Can Lead To Great Adventures
Conversations with folks at local watering holes have led us to some great adventures. But none better than a visit with a nice woman several years ago in Fort Lauderdale. You see, Wine Wednesday is “Date Night” for Peepaw and me. We simply walk out our back door and across this beautiful drawbridge. And what’s […]
National Baseball Hall Of Fame – Cooperstown, New York
Baseball. It’s been a part of our family for generations. Here is Peepaw, heading to his game in high school. I tried my hand at softball way back then, but I soon realized I was more of a cheerleader at heart. That’s me on the far right. But THIS is more of my cheerleading form […]
I Love LUCY…Even More Now!
I grew up on our farm watching “I Love Lucy” on this very TV. WAY back. In the 1950s. We never missed that show. And little did we know that on our recent New York trip Peepaw and I would discover a treasure trove of Lucy memories and memorabilia! Our overnight in Jamestown began with […]
Lisciandro’s Breakfast & Lunch – Jamestown, New York
Lisciandro’s. A Jamestown landmark since 1954. That’s MY kind of eatery! Heck, I was only four years old when that iconic restaurant first opened it’s doors! What a time capsule. Our motherly server greeted us with a wave and a smile, and she told us to sit wherever we liked. We chose the front table […]
