Tablet, Don’t Fail Me Now!

Posted on December 23, 2019 by mohawkvalleygirl

I guess it’s time for my Wrist to Forehead Sunday post. I am not actually feeling too angsty, since I do not have to work tomorrow, but do I feel up to making a decent blog post? That is where the angst comes in.

The thing is, I wanted pictures, but I also want to sit on my comfy couch tapping into my Tablet. It is not so easy to share the pictures thusly. So the question now is, do I make the post I was thinking of making only without pictures, or do a totally other post with pictures I can easily get at from here? Decisions!

Good cheer with beer!

Here is a picture I took at Heelpath Brewing Company at the Frankfort Marina. I did not get these people’s names, but they were quite willing for me to take their picture. I like to share a nice picture from a local business.

More beer and cheer,

Here is another shot of another visit to Heelpath. It is a fun place to go.

OK, my Tablet is doing something weird and not letting me share the picture I want to. That brings me right back to Wrist to Forehead Sunday! And the battery is dying! Damn! I guess I’ll just hit Publish and hope for the best, as I have done many times before. Happy Sunday, everyone!

Run, Shop, Drink, It’s Scattered Saturday!

Posted on December 15, 2019 by mohawkvalleygirl

I have had a WONDERFUL day, and I will now attempt to make a Scattered Saturday post about it. I have a number of pictures to share, so if my words are less than wonderful, I am certain my readers will forgive me.

This picture courtesy of Steve.

This is me finishing the Reindeer Run 5K in Little Falls, about a step behind Santa Claus. I think I may have been able to pour it on a little more and beaten the kid, but I did not try. Perhaps if I had tried I would have failed. But it was a fun run.

Love those alpacas!

The Reindeer Run was part of Christmas in Little Falls. After I had showered at the YMCA and had a good breakfast at Il Caffe, we did some shopping. My favorite stop was at Paca Gardens.

My photos here came out a little blurry.

After shopping, we were fortunate enough to catch a performance of a puppet play of “A Christmas Carol.” It was awesome! We loved it!

A zombie nutcracker?

Later on we went to a wine tasting at Valley Wine and Liquor in Herkimer, NY. I took a few pictures of their holiday decorations, which I hope to share in a later post.

Steven was the only one who deigned to smile.

After the tasting, we went for a couple of drinks at Heelpath Brewing Company at the Frankfort Marina. It was fun!

I have not gone onto depth on any of our activities today, but perhaps future blog posts can fill in the gaps. In the meantime, Happy Saturday, everyone!

Murder, Wine, Just Another Scattered Saturday

Posted on October 20, 2019 by mohawkvalleygirl

I shall attempt a Scattered Saturday post, but no promises. I am still tired and shaken after what turned out to be a wonderful theatre experience with Fabulous and Fatal, our murder mystery at the Travel Lodge in Little Falls to benefit the Herkimer County Historical Society.

Quite frankly, I expected to wake up hung over. However, I did not, and remembering how much I actually drank, that is not surprising. I nursed my Cabernet Sauvignon, because I was performing. Incidentally, the performance went awesomely. I will write more about it when I have some pictures to share.

This morning I went for a run. Later we had some breakfast at Mona’s in Mohawk. Later yet we went to a wine tasting at Valley Wine and Liquor in Herkimer. Yum! Then it was a quick trip to the Marina in Frankfort, NY and a drink or two at Heelpath Brewing Company. Untamed Red by Rustic Ridge Winery in Burlington Flats. Yum!

Now we are home, having arrived at the bra off, sweats on, wine drinking, movie watching portion of the day. What Halloween movies will we watch? I may list them tomorrow, having a Saturday and Sunday Cinema post. As always, no promises, but I hope you will all stay tuned.

Lots of Stuff on Scattered Saturday

Posted on October 13, 2019 by mohawkvalleygirl

Ah yes, I must make a blog post today. I think I can manage a Scattered Saturday post.

We slept in till a little after six. Full disclosure: I spent a good deal of early morning time wishing I could sleep, but I got in a couple of REM cycles.

I ate some breakfast and did a load of laundry before I went for a short run. On the run I got inspired to decorate our porch by looking at other folks porches. However, before doing anything to my own porch, I went to a rummage sale at Mohawk Reformed Church.

After helping my husband, Steve, hang lights and get our witch and ghost set up (we want to put out further decorations, but this was enough for day one), I went to the New 2 You Consignment Store in Ilion, NY. I found a fabulous dress for our upcoming murder mystery.

After I got home, we were both hungry so went to Salvatore’s in Herkimer for lunch. Then it was on to Heelpath Brewing Company at the Frankfort Marina, then to the End Zone Pub and Grub in Herkimer.

We came home after that and are watching television. Once I finish this I can knit. I do love to knit and watch television. My only question is: true crime or old movie? A little suspense adds interest to my evening.

Beer, Wine, Pizza and a Late Blog Post

Posted on September 29, 2019 by mohawkvalleygirl

There I was, all pleased with myself for making Friday’s post on Friday, and now here I am, making Saturday’s post on Sunday. Raise your hands, everybody who saw that coming. I, for one, did not.

Yes, every time I try to turn over a new leaf, I think I will succeed with no backsliding. You would think experience would teach me something. But there is no point in repining, nor in making another post lamenting the fact that it is late. How about a fast Scattered Saturday post?

I went running early, before it was completely light out. My two favorite times of day are when it’s not quite light and when it’s not quite dark. It was not a long run, but it felt good.

After a shower and breakfast, I headed to New Hartford, NY, to Party City. I did not find the 1920’s wig I sought (at least not for the price I was willing to pay), but I bought a lot of other cool stuff. I went straight home, having enough time to write my post cards and get them to the post office before it closed.

The adventure of the day was going to Heelpath Brewing Company at the Frankfort Marina. I shall certainly write more about that. Then we went to Fratelli’s in Frankfort for some pizza , another place I’ve been meaning to check out.

That was enough excitement to give me a whanging headache, which was why I just couldn’t make my post. Was it too much beer and wine? Perhaps the combination of beer, wine, candy and pizza? I will enjoy my pleasures in more moderation today and hope to make Sunday’s post on Sunday.
