The Christmas tree at the very center of Syracuse mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA caught my eye on the one day I rushed around to complete my shopping for my dear wife Karen. I was hit hard by the angle above, and knew I’d hold onto it for the first day of…
Happy Independence Day from the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. I ran out from the side porch of the Little Bitty this morning clutching my iPad Air 2, expecting and hoping to take a shot of Good Neighbor Tim’s American Flag fluttering from his pole planted on his front lawn next door. Not up yet.…
At the loving prompting of my dear wife Karen, used a shovel and sweat and she took it the rest of the way with top soil and Miracle Gro to put a pretty little juniper into the earth in front of our Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood some half dozen years…
After careful consideration, we went with the turkey breast instead of the whole bird this year. It’s going to be outstanding, I’m sure, what with all the other excellent accompaniments planned for our holiday table by my dear wife Karen here in our Little Bitty in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. I’ve seen the…
Our tummies full from a great New Year’s Eve dinner at Rico’s Ristorante and the clock still more than three hours from the ball-drop, my dear wife Karen and I headed to our favorite neighborhood bar just blocks from the Little Bitty in our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. The lights were on along James…
My dear wife Karen and I have had good times and not so good times while eating out on New Year’s Eve. It can be a tough night. Big crowds. Tense wait staffs. Smaller menus. Frustrated Mark. I come here today to praise Rico’s Ristorante of East Syracuse, N.Y. I’d chosen Rico’s as our New…
My dear wife Karen outdid herself this year. From the grandest gift to the simplest gift, she knows how to make everybody in the house happy. I think so. Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle thinks so. Daughter Elisabeth and boyfriend George thought so as we enjoyed family time for Christmas Eve last night. Son Daryl…
Snow kisses my backyard in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood as we stir on this Thanksgiving morn. It covers the ground and the shed, and hangs on the boughs of those towering pines in the neighbor’s house behind. Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle welcomes the sight and the feel of it. She’s ready for…
My Good Neighbor Tim knows what the special days are all about. Always, the house next door in our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood has the American Flag flying proudly atop the flagpole to mark a holiday. Tim and his lovely wife Lorraine watched patiently as I snapped away to get the best shot possible.…
‘Tis the season in Syracuse, N.Y. I opened my eyes this morning to our first snow, bright white on a gray day. It’s sticking stubbornly on the lawn, not melting away a bit, just two days after I played golf while wearing shorts. Somebody up there knows something. Santa Claus is coming to town today,…
