Tomorrow is my sweetie's birthday, so at midnight tonight and until midnight tomorrow evening, it is her day. She doesn't lift a finger...I do the cooking... or anything else needing done. Starting at midnight this evening, she is "Queen for a Day"!!
We had a really good day yesterday, with a lunch at the Freehold Country Store and then stopped by Story's nursery, to tell them about a Tamarack pine we bought from them last year. It appeared to be dying, but upon talking to them in the fall, they told us that all Tamarack pines were experiencing a blight and it should recover in the spring. Didn't happen! Sooooooo, they are sending one of their guys over to take a look at it...after which, they will probably replace it. I hope so...it was about a one hundred dollar ornamental and I'd sure hate to hear, "Sorry bout your luck, buddy!!" They only give 50% credit anyway.....
We ran on down route 67 to the bridge over Catskill Creek and scoped out our fishing spot for trout this summer. It is an excellent spot and we will shoot some pictures there so you all can see the beauty of the Catskill. We didn't have the camera with us or they would now be posted here.
We took a bunch of videos before the family and friends arrived for Easter on Sunday, and finally yesterday afternoon, we got them all changed over to DVD to send to my Dad in Pennsylvania. He can no longer make the trip to visit us and is confined to a wheel chair in an extended care facility, so he looks forward to seeing these things. He used to love staying with us for a month or so at a time in the summer and fall, making the trip by train.
We have to go for corn today...and possibly some other feed items for the farm too.
Vick wants to take a trip to Lowes one day to pick up the T-111 ceiling plywood for the gift shop. We should then also start installing some of the wiring and boxes for the electrical, if we ever stand a chance at getting this thing up and operational soon. Completing the gift shop, will be another lifetime achievement for Vick and I. That was one of our goals when we came here initially. It was our original intention to help out senior citizens on fixed incomes, by performing really low cost electrical work, but then found that Greene County politics would emphatically deny my being certified and licensed in New York, as an electrician, a profession I performed over 37 years in Pennsylvania. Obviously God felt Vicki and I would perform a greater service by generating funding for the hospice program, than we could perform by doing semi-free electrical work for individual seniors on fixed incomes, who were finding it difficult to obtain electrical repairs within their budget. With this turn of events...and Vicki being a register nurse, working on homecare and sharing hospice patients, it seemed logical we would pursue this goal. Now we have to try to finish it as the money becomes available to do so. We could use funding we have received and still are generating for the hospice program to complete the shop and get it operating, but we would rather not use the funding money in this manner, taking it away from the patients we intend to help support. It will all work out as God has always intended it would.
