What’s a little rain on the course?

Damp but smiling. It poured all the way down Route 81 and for most of the first few holes earlier this week, but what the heck. I’m glad I said yes when Tater texted early that morning and said the folks t Vesper Hills told him the course was relatively dry despite the good amount…

I believe we’ll miss Ted Lasso

My cup of … coffee. That one has a present for you, my dear wife Karen declared about the latest Amazon box. My very own <em>Ted Lasso</em> slogan coffee cup! Yes, we both were fans of the Apple TV show that this spring wrapped up its run, satisfying us with a finale that both tied…

A happy birthday bash indeed

We found them! My dear wife Karen and I are always glad that friend Georgia includes us on her invitation list for the big family and others birthday bash. Can’t beat the scene. The short drive to nearby Jamesville Beach allows us to mix, mingle and, sure, eat plenty. That’s Georgia far right, in blue.…

Our official fireworks show

Over the baseball stadium. We left the fireworks to the professionals. After we six started our holiday weekend with the Syracuse Mets game at NBT Bank Stadium, we stayed in our seats to watch the display over the center field wall. Good work. Our Triple-A organization knows how to do fireworks, offering them after most…

Hoping for good signs

Reaching for the big Mets. Over the holidays a week ago, the family took to NBT Bank Stadium for a Syracuse Mets game and good times. Game-ready. Six of us were ready for a good game, although I couldn’t fit all of us in my iPhone frame when my dear wife Karen, great daughter Elisabeth,…

A lily brightens any day

Shining star. The previous owners without a doubt left great perennial produces around the years there and there and there for terrific daughter Elisabeth and fantastic fiance George Three. The day lily pops are bright and wide.

Strawberry field forever

Tasty yield. Terrific daughter Elisabeth quick-picked the juicy garden production in year one of the plants lovingly planted by fantastic fiance George Three and herself for their first summer in the new house. They’ll wisely keep an eye out to harvest before the bunnies, squirrels and such. May their fruit intakes this season be bountiful…

Admiring the climbers

Great achievers. My dear wife Karen pointed out how high our backyard climbers have reached this summer. They’ve bloomed with a boom, I’ll say as we’ve wrapped up the holiday weekend.

Happy Fourth from Uncle Skelly

Holiday shenanigans. The neighbors around the block from terrific daughter Elisabeth and fantastic fiance George Three prepped their front-yard Skelly well for today. The July Fourth outfit and Old Glory motif brings a wonderful pop to the holiday, my dear wife Karen and I agreed as we stopped the car for this photo.

Nice addition, this Salt City Market

Corner of attention. Ever been to the Salt City Market? I asked my fellow downtown Syracuse adventurers after we’d decided to stroll from Clinton Square, our stomachs full of Polish food. Nope, agreed my dear wife Karen, terrific daughter Elisabeth and fantastic fiance George Three. My curiosity had been peaked since the long black building…
