TEAM PICTURES
for some reason the team pictures didn't go so i am trying again ,,,hope it works this time
JAMACIA PICTURES
for some reason the pictures i thought i put on the trip didn't seem to go so i am trying to put them on now
one of course is of our volleyball team---one is of guess who--and the other one if on our dresser most days was a different thing made out of towels...this one is a swan--one was a basket and one was a heart...and of course flowers were on the bed evdery day...the ladies were picking them as they went to work...
JAMACIA
we have returned from jamacia and over all the trip was good...the weather was HOT-HOT-HOT-HUMID-HUMID- with some rain in the afternoons and when it did rain it was hard...but we keep cool staying in the ocean or pool and even under some shade when we could find it...
there was a volleyball tournament which we knew about before we left home so we made some t-shirts for our team...'THE ENFIELD RIVER RATS' and our uniforms won first place...the prize was exciting key chains ahahhaahah...one of our members of our team fell and broke both of her wrists all this took place on monday..so she was not a happy camper the rest of the trip..it limited what she could do and even had trouble eating...she still could hold a glass so she could still drink away her pain...(really she only had one or two drinks)...YES the team was very sober when we were playing volleyball..
the resort was large and spread out and there was plenty of things to do while we were there...we found the spa the day before we were to leave and wish we had found it earlier as there was sauna-hot tub-swimming river-cold-warm-hot water to refresh yourself in...
over all it was a good trip but going from hot to cold sure is a shocker

WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING
our house has calmed down a wee bit this week..the month of sept we spent most of it in falconer tending to lar's mom...we were back there then ran away for a couple of days to buffalo..then we returned home and were here for only a day when we found out she had a room in assisted living so back we went to hel p move her..that we did!!!!!lar and i spent a weekend packing and moving stuff to 19 almet his sister house that was the family home...so the garage is half full or it was with fran's stuff...we have talked to judy-bill-dan and even fran since she has moved into the new living arrangement...at times she is confused but adjusting to the new place..it will be better for her when she gets a room of her own and that will be soon...they are opening up a new wing and only need the state's approval and we all know how long it might take some one from the state to do their thing...
some of our habitat friends have stopped by for a short visit and we even had lunch with some other habitat friends and it was nice to all get together..we will be building again in jan in dade city...our friends christine and tom have been dong some work kamping in bar harbour , maine all summer and had a good time..my nephew and family even stayed at the campground for a week...
fall turkey season opened up on the 1st and you know who has been out there and so far it has ben cold-wet-foggy-and NO turkeys..this coming week is suppose to get nicer so maybe he will at least talk to another turkey..we have been watching at least 6 deer that come to the back yard on a regular basis...cleaning up the fallen apples that was we don't have to pick them up..
leaves are turning so i guess fall is on it's way..hoping for an indian summer..garden has been harvested and we are pleased with what it produced for us this year...we are also starting to think about our next trip and no it is not with the rig but on an airplane...heading to Jamaica for a week...

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
