How about a Scattered Saturday instead of a Slacker Saturday. I think I could manage a brief re-cap of today’s activities. I have quite a headache currently, sorry to complain, and I really just feel like sitting here and chilling. However, I like to make a blog post every day, and I do not want to put off making today’s any longer. I know, I know, enough with the excuses, get on with the post. OK, I will.
Our dog Spunky barked at 5:01 this morning. I looked at the clock. For once I let Steven keep sleeping a little longer and got up to take Spunky for his first business meeting of the day. I got dressed in running clothes, so I could go for my run right after. I have run eight days in a row. That may be a record for me. A little later I wrote some postcards and walked to the post office with Spunky. Spunky doesn’t seem to like long walks, but he can make it to the post office and back.
By noon I was headed to my sister Cheryl’s house for more adventures. My sister Vicki was in town, along with her husband and offspring, and Vicki had not yet been to the So Sweet Candy Cafe, which is owned by her great childhood friend, Margaret. I, of course, am always up for another visit to a candy shop. I purchased a few treats while I was there. Vicki and Margaret had a nice if brief visit.
After leaving the So Sweet, we walked down Varick Street to the Mohawk Valley Winery. We tasted some wine and, yes, I purchased a bottle. We were disappointed to find out we needed to make an appointment to tour the Adirondack Distilling Company. I said we must make an appointment for next time.
Next we drove to Clinton and went into a number of wonderful little shops. My only purchase was at the Adirondack Cheese Company, but I will certainly return to the other stores when I have a little more cash to spend.
Perhaps as the week goes on, I can write longer blog posts about some of my Scattered Saturday activities. For now, I’m going to nurse my stupid head and hang out with my nice dog. I hope you’re all having a lovely Saturday.
