We awoke at 9:00am and took showers in my sister’s house, so we would be ready when my friend, Scott called. He had called previously to let me know that he was going to Saratoga with some friends today and he wanted to stop off at New Paltz to see me, Eric and the Chinook. So, we went to the thruway to meet him and say hi. We took a few pictures with him and his lovely friend, Dana, hugged, gave them the tour of the RV (which takes about 5 minutes) and then they left to go to Albany and then on to Saratoga for the races.


Eric and I then went to Starbucks for coffee and a little breakfast and then went to get massages. Ahhhhhhhh! I got an hour; Eric a half-hour. Fabulous! We then went to the Water Street Market to see the antique shop where my friends, Adrienne and Jim have a booth. They weren’t there, but we got to see their merchandise, which was very impressive. Then we went to lunch at Biggy’s BBQ and I had a shrimp cobb salad (fabulous) and gazpacho, and Eric had a grilled barbeque chicken wrap and came back to the house feeling renewed and refreshed!


The boys are off at the Renegade’s baseball game in Dutchess County. Eddie is an intern with the team and got four tickets, so Rich, Eric, Scoop and Peter went and the girls stayed home, watched TV and organized!
I was ready for a big project and I told Lenae I wanted to reorganize her hutch, which had a gorgeous collection of teapots, including the Bailey’s cookie jars, cups/saucers, sugar and creamer and coffee pot set I had given Lenae. It took me about two hours, but now it looks fantastic and Lenae was SO happy! I really love projects like that. Wish I could make a living doing it!
We’re having grilled chicken and salmon pinwheels for dinner. I’m starving after all that organizing!!!
