Genesee’ s finest

Well preserved. We walked 2.7 miles at the Lilac Festival, terrific daughter Elisabeth found on her watch when we got back to her car. We’d earned our visit to the Genesee Brewery a couple of miles toward downtown Rochester. Some blocks reminded me of our Syracuse, we said in the car on the way over.…

A vendor with character

I didn’t get it. Take that photo, requested my dear wife Karen as we strolled through the vendors at the arts and crafts portion of the Lilac Festival. Done. I must admit, I cannot tell you who these plushies are off the top of my head. I did purchase from another maker two cool wood…

Our first trip to the Lilac Festival delighted all

Enchanting city park. Yes, said my dear wife Karen and I, please allow us in your new car, Elisabeth, to join George Three and Sue for a family Mother’s Day drive one city west for the Lilac Festival. Rochester has it going on with this event. Highland Park is a true gem. Original color. White,…

The food trucks came and we ate

Follow the arrow. Our busy weekend started off for my dear wife Karen, terrific daughter Elisabeth, wonderful George Three and fantastic Sue with our annual visit to the Food Truck Battle at the New York State Fairgrounds. Stay where you are, precip. As it always seems, it was cool with a threat of rain. We’ve…

George’s new gift feeds us all

Backyard chef and my hero George Three. Everybody’s invited over after our Mother’s Day drive to test out George Three’s new pizza oven, declared terrific daughter Elisabeth. Roaring flame. His mom Sue gifted it for Christmas, we discovered as we all visited the Lilac Festival in neighboring Rochester for a lovely Mother’s Day excursion with…

Not the Northern Lights

I can’t identify that floating object. Like many folks who live in North America, my dear wife Karen and I took some time after the sun went down this past weekend to scan the skies above our neighborhood. Solar storms were bringing the Northern Lights for visibility more south than usual, so said experts way…
