This edition of my dear wife Karen’s family reunion took our fearless foursome the rest of the tribe calls “Syracuse” from our Hancock Airport International Airport through Chicago O’Hare to San Antonio. Our quartet planned the first two days in that Texas city before meeting up with the contingents from Alaska, California, Oregon and Arkansas…
Even our cherished rescue mutt wondered a bit what exactly was going on with our backyard pool. It seems that could be what happens when a certain amount of stuff is added to prepare for a stretch away from the house. Nobody was harmed in the making of this safe water. Ellie B does not…
Can this group of longtime friends take a trip to wine country to celebrate a 50th birthday and truly have a good time? That’s the premise behind Amy Poehler’s directorial debut. Wine Country, made with its Netflix run primarily in mind, comes from the pens of Emily Spivey and Liz Cackowski, but Poehler’s story credit…
There was no letdown getting off this pretty little boat. It was a three-hour tour well done. A dinner cruise on Skaneateles Lake ends with one last pretty sight, indeed.
If you like sunsets, bring a way to snap to the Skaneateles Lake dinner cruise and hope for a clear sky. Here we go! I kept my iPhone 8 ready. The western sky was perfect to welcome the sun after its busy day. The water was ready for some reflection for the folks in the…
The folks at Mid-Lakes Navigation go all-out on the dinner portion of the dinner cruise. Yes, I enjoyed the food and the service. My salad was crisp and cool. Admission time: I handed my clam chowder across the aisle to Robert because, well, I never eat clam chowder. My prime rib satisfied me, along with…
We headed upstairs to grab our table. Our seats at the table for four would serves as the viewing spot as our captain told us about those gorgeous homes that ring Skaneateles Lake. Nice places. I wandered to the rail and let my imagination roam, too. At times the lake was a bit choppy. I…
Skaneateles on a summer’s Saturday evening. Sigh. This village on the lake can welcome you with beauty, for sure. We didn’t mind when the staff of the Judge Ben Wiles told us to wait a few minutes before boarding. Wander around the loading square we did. Mid-Lakes Navigation has a tradition worth noting. Recreation, check…
My dear wife Karen’s work place came up with a very nice summer treat. Staffers were invited to the Skaneateles Lake dinner cruise. Everybody was allowed a plus-one. She picked me! The higher-ups at the eye place even hired a bus as an option for the trip from Liverpool to Skaneateles Lake. I smiled at…
Can they really get along? Yes, the buddy movie is a cornerstone of what we’re served from the flickering image decision-making world. Tried-and-true or merely the easy route? There are so many answers along the scale, I thought after I picked up The Upside from my library’s collection, drawn by the names Kevin Hart and…
