earl's has been on diners-drive-in- and dives...famous for chciken-a-la king but we had breakfast

WE RAN AWAY

first NO pictures till we get home...

we have spent a week helping care of lar's mom...we have cleaned-cleaned-thrown stuff away-cleaned-tending to her care-lar spent a couple of nights with her...then we decided we needed to get away so we did ...we have never toured buffalo so of we went and got a national park stamp so it wasn' a waste ...we went to teddy roosevelt place where he was inaugurated after president mckinley passed away....what was the most interesting there were lots of chairs set up outside and we asked what was going on ...we were told a naturalization ceremony so we decided to stay never been to one so why not...there was a reactenment of teddy roosevelt ceremony..short and sweet..the whole process was most interesting..there about 25-30 new citizens from about as many countries several canadians...not sure if they were getting dual citizenship or not...but we wer glad we stayed...

even found a place to have wings nit the famous bar but the ones we had were good...

the next day we found millard fillmore hpuse that he lived in before he became president but guess what we could only walk around the outside as it was closed the day we were there...then we found an old fashioned store that had about everything you could imagine...we just looked and laughed at the stuff we found..

on our way back to jamestown we stopped at a diner to have breakfast...the place has been featured on diners-drive-ins and dives...a fun place we did not eat what guy had as that was chicken a-la king and we stopped for breakfast ...lar had a lee moore's omelet (if you have ever listen to a radio station from west virginia at night and coffee drinking lee moore then you know)..the place had a mini museum and was again a fun stop...

now back in jamestown where doug and iris from louisville have arrived and dan and carol from earlville will arrive later today...

we hope Fran will be up to all the company...we sure hope so...probably back in enfield later this coming week....we are both ready to return...

oh we have noticed that the trees are beginning to turn so i guess fall is on it's way so get out and enjoy the colors...

SEPT TRAVEL PLANS

sept is our month just to travel around and be a tourist and this year we had decided to see NYS... head up to the adirondacks and tupper lake to visit the new outdoor museum..then head down state to visit west point-hyde park...but that has all changes due to a couple of reasons...

lar's mom has been in the hospital for several days and the time has come for her to make a change in living conditions...she has been in her own apt at the complex she has been living in and has taken several falls...so it appears that she will need some assisted living place or maybe even a nursing home...so we have changed our plans to go back to see what we can do to help out...there is to be a meeting today to try to sort out the best for her and right now we just aren't sure...so we may be moving her to someplace different...of course right now we aren't sure what that might be...she is 93 and for the most part she taken care of herself and it appears that things are changing...

also the places we had wanted to travel to are in the middle of where hurricane irene left much damage and destruction so of course we aren't sure what we might run into and roads are still closed..probably the back ones --we are flexible so we can change our plans and put those places on the back burner and who knows maybe next year...god willing...

now for lee he has left us with 2 1/2 inches of rain so far...it rained all day yesterday (monday) and into the night..sometimes hard..if only we could send some of it to texas where it is much needed and would help put out the wild fires...fill their lakes-rivers-ponds -etc...mother nature she is showing us all that she is active this year...

enjoy fall
