Going, going, gone

My dear wife Karen and I aren’t the only one taking rather recent notice of this cool Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. With just a little more than a half-year in since our move from the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood, we noticed two houses a couple blocks away from A Bitty Better going up for…

Welcome back, Margaritaville

My affinity for Jimmy Buffett’s line of comfortable shoes goes back many years now. Two pair caught my eye in the spring lineup at Off Broadway in the Syracuse mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA this April. And they were part of the BOGOHO deal. I could not resist Buy One Get One…

Better off red

I have to hand it to the owners of this yard. As Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle and I circled A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville after my May workday, this circle of red caught our eyes and caused us to linger. Nice.

Don’t be so nervous, Ellie B

Sometimes I wonder what’s going through the head of Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle. Like when she looks like this on the couch in the living room of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. Relaxed, much?

Looking good at The (former) Little Bitty

Michelle needed a refresher on getting the split duct air conditioner ready in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. We were taking Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle over to her vet’s at Shop City. It seemed like a good day to go check out The (former) Little Bitty for the first time since we moved…

A warm welcome to the Salt City Grille

My colleague and friend at the library, Sara, pulled me aside in the big room and said that I just had to take my dear wife Karen to dinner at the Salt City Grille. She talked highly of the food, ambiance and service. Good call. We both liked what we used to get when the…

So very unique. And odd

Our new neighbors in the blocks surrounding A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville continue to amaze Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle and I as we take our post-work walks. My cherished rescue mutt allowed me to stop and take my iPhone 6 out of my pocket for this eccentric sight. Bunnies abound.…

What are playsets, boats and big porches, Alex?

On one of our after-work walks around A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville, Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle and I picked a new street this past week. And this stretch of houses offered my cherished rescue mutt and I some different perspectives on our new neighbors. Ellie B was sad that the…

Pinwheel type of weather

As I was walking the streets surrounding A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle, my cherished rescue mutt and I spied some neat spring decorations. We appreciated the spinning pinwheels. April wind had them going. And after a flurry of tree faces, it was refreshing to spot…

Wow, our pretty little tree has white flowers

We’ve been wondering what color the tree smack dab in the middle of our front yard of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville would be, this being our first year here. We found out. White, it is. Deep, true white. A good match to the deep purple of the leaves we saw…
