Better off red

The vintage cars are in town for the annual party that goes by the name of The Syracuse Nationals. When I got off from work from the library Friday, I took a quick left on Electronics Parkway. I know from the past few years that the auto owners like to gather in the lot of…

My wife chimes in with her great taste

Did you see the new decoration?, my dear wife Karen wondered one day of a piece she added to the side alcove, under the overhang, right on the edge of the backyard. Yes, I did. Did you like it? Yes, my heart is into her sense of what goes best with our life.

And a new storefront welcomed folks for cones, sundaes and more. Hover over a gallery photo for a description. Click on…

I come in peace, mom

The little ones were very, very cute. The mother was very, very protective. I had to interrupt our work break walk by snapping photos with my iPhone 8. Nobody got hurt.

Are you blue?

Gutter guy Joe Bury left us a clue to the past of A Bitty Better when he repaired our underlying problem in the backyard of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. My dear wife Karen and I looked at the aftermath and decided that in decades past, our house may indeed have…
