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...
