This is Surely a Lame Post

Posted on April 11, 2025 by mohawkvalleygirl

OK, so the blogging has not been going very well post-Prescription: Murder. I have not been having very many Mohawk Valley Adventures. I have been getting out to walk and even taken a couple short runs, but nothing worth making a Running Commentary or Pedestrian Post about (as if that ever stops me). Now I sit, typing into my Chromebook on Lame Post Friday, thinking, surely I can manage at least a Friday Lame Post (and I will call you Shirley if I decide to).

In my case, they have done their job.

I thought I would throw in a picture to pep things up. Yes, I have been brain dead for some time now, as regular readers may have noticed. I have been writing letters, which I suppose counts. By My Rules for Me, Any Writing Counts. But I have not been, for example, making entries in the TV Journal or even my Running Journal (yes, I have multiple journals and am thinking of adding a few more to fail to write in). For a week or more I made a daily blog post. I hope to get back to doing that.

Cheers to Mohawk Valley Adventures!

I scrolled further down my Media Library, looking for a Mohawk Valley Adventure I could aim for. This is my friend Kim at Rock Valley Brewing Company in Little Falls, NY. Alas these adventures are always better with a friend, and Kim moved far away. I wonder what other friends I could find to get into trouble with.

Then again, coffee is always nice.

Another place I haven’t been in a while is Joseph Putrello’s Coffee Barista Bar in Utica. Will I venture as far as Little Falls or Utica today? A little uncertainty adds interest to my morning.

In any case, I have at least written to the extent of a Lame Post Friday blog post. One has to start somewhere. As always, I thank you for tuning in.

Late Post, But Library!

Posted on August 21, 2023 by mohawkvalleygirl

This past Friday I drove to Little Falls for a fundraiser for Little Falls Public Library at Rock Valley Brewing. I thought I had written a blog post about it, but I see I have not. I took a picture.

Nice lady.

I chatted with some people I knew as well as the library lady, although I did not get her name. I took a pen and a book Mark from the library table. There were colored pencils so you could personalize your bookmark, but I did not feel talented.

I petted a very nice dog and chatted with his dog-sitters (they were watching him for their daughter). I drank some Chardonnay from Thousand Islands Winery, but not too much since I had to drive home. I sat at a tall table and started a letter to a friend.

I guess this post isn’t such a much, and I apologize for that. In my defense, I am just getting over a very bad migraine I had for most of the afternoon yesterday and all night last night. Yesterday (Sunday) was a Blogger’s Sick Day for sure. For Saturday I have no excuse.

However, I have given a shout-out to the library and Rock Valley Brewing. I shall have some more coffee and try to face my day. Once again, thank you for tuning in.

Where Was I on Saturday?

Posted on June 12, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

So I missed Thursday, posted lame on Friday, then missed Saturday. Right down the line, I did better earlier in the week than later. Not that I did so hot earlier last week, now that I think about it. I guess I have set the bar for myself kind of low.

Anyways, here I am, lounged on my couch on Sunday morning, pecking in one letter at a time with the stylus, trying to make some post, any post, for reasons I feel unable to articulate.

Yesterday (Saturday), I went for a walk, since I still feel unable to run. Later, our friend Kim picked up Steve and me, and we went to the Pride festivities in Little Falls, NY. We enjoyed some musical performances from a few fabulously dressed Queens, and I purchased a rainbow fan.

Then we adjourned to Rock Valley Brewing, where we ordered drinks. After dithering with my phone for a few minutes, I just walked over to Mangia Macrina’s to get a wood-fired pizza. Previously I have ordered by text, but yesterday I was so indecisive, I thought in-person was a better way to go.

Returning to Herkimer, I remembered that there was a wine tasting at Valley Wine and Liquors, so we made a quick stop. I love wine tastings.

I realize that I could easily have made a Scattered Saturday Post when we got home. Instead, I watched a DVR’d episode of Svengoolie. In my defense, Vincent Price.

So here is my Saturday post, posted Sunday morning. Will I make my Sunday post on Sunday? A little suspense adds interest to my day.

Shout-out to Steve

Posted on March 3, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

I wussed out on Wednesday by not making a post at all, but that’s OK, because now it is Thursday, March 3, my husband Steven’s birthday! I will do a Shout-out to Steve! And it will be a Wordless Wednesday Post using pictures from my Media Library.

Here are Steve and I (we’re on the right) with a fun couple we had just met at Fratello’s Pizzeria in Frankfort, NY. Hey, we have not been there in a while. We shall have to remedy the omission.

*Fun with friends is always a good idea.*

Here is Steve with our friend Jenna, at Rock Valley Brewing (formerly known as Iron Rock Brewing) in Little Falls. That is another place we need to go again.

Here was a night we had a lot of fun! It was Donate to Murder, the murder mystery we presented to benefit the Herkimer County Historical Society. We may be doing another murder mystery soon (preview of coming attractions).

I wanted to end with a picture of Steve and me. This is us at Copper Moose Ale House in Little Falls. Copper Moose recently re-opened, so that is another place we will have to go.

I guess I have managed to give a few brief shout-outs in addition to my Shout-out to Steve. Yay! And Happy Birthday, Steve!
