I am trying to find an old friend of mine George Ellis. I started looking for him and so have had no success. However, in the process have linked up with a few people I knew 55 to 60 years ago. It is wild. But if I keep this up, I may just run into George. I linked up with J.S.D today and it has been a blast reconnecting with her.
Waiting to hear from a couple more old friends. It's good to catch up.
For several days The east coast has been invaded by smoke from Canadian Forest fires. My eyes stung for several days from the irritants.
I read that 600 plus fire fighters from America have gone north to assist as well as several other countries. I have my fingers crossed that the winds do not flow in our direction again.
A little bit of everything in this post. First, I went down to the Hudson River early in the morning and enjoyed a stroll around the Park. A little windy, but pleasant enough.
Then I went to the Derma tologist. A few years back I was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma then Adenocarcinoma on my eye lid . At any rate they were cancerous and the doctor said wear ball caps and see him for annual check ups.
So I went today for a check up and the Doc found two moles that worried him. He lasered them off. I should get the lab results in two weeks.
Sooo...after that I went home and did a little shopping. I am a sucker for old cars and saw a mint condition 1958 Pontiac Chieftain in the parking lot. I asked the owner if I could photograph it. He was happy to oblige. So here it is:
Ain't she pretty?
I checked my blog and realized I haven't made any entries for a few days. I've been busy with Doctors appts, yard work and prepping the house for my son's visit next week. We are going to my youngest nieces wedding.
Had a call from Sean on Sunday about Regina. Days like this always sadden me a little bit. I will never get over losing her to a heart attack: taken in Virginia 1974 after our third anniversary.
Well, I guess spring is around the corner, but winter is stubborn. We had a freeze warning two days ago, today the temp. hit 50°
Last few days have been rainy, cool or overcast, plus my daffodils in the back yard are not blooming anymore.
Still making daily trips to the three local parks around here: Peck's Pond, Haverstraw Bay Park or Grassy Point. I enjoy the breeze coming off the Hudson.
Next couple of days should be interesting. I haven't worn a suit in 20 years. I have to go to my neice Meaghan's wedding on May 20th. I will be trying on old suits in my closet to see if they still fit.....such is life.
Met with the Historical Society the other day. Discussed my donation of Civil War records to them and a possible article.
I ran some errands yesterday. In the course of which I used Routes 59, 202, 304 and 9W. Speed limits were posted between 30 and 40 mph. But the roads were so crowded, I barely went over 20 mph. And rode my brakes most of the time.
The Traffic in Rockland County is ridiculous. Where the heck are all these people coming from or going to? At least I accomplished my main goal which was to get A new library card. My old one literally cracked in half. The county has historically had a very bad transportation system. Except for my time in the military and my 7 years of heaven in Virginia, I lived in Rockland all my life. I have never seen it this bad.
