Today I went Mohawk Valley adventuring with my friend, Kim, and I will attempt to give a brief overview of our gyrations. I may try to write more blog posts, detailing individual stops, but for now I must just type off the top of my head and try to hit Publish soon. I have more Saturday I’d like to enjoy.
She picked me up at one and we went to a wine tasting at Valley Wine and Spirits. I may have mentioned yesterday that Swedish Hill Winery was going to be there, and they have sweet wines, which Kim likes. As it turned out, they also have dry wines, so everybody was happy. We couldn’t think of any other place to go in Herkimer at the time, so we headed to Ilion, NY.
Our first stop was Beer Belly Bob’s. Kim wanted to purchase some Ubu for a friend. I found out after she got it that Ubu is from Lake Placid,NY, so I heartily approved that purchase. I wanted to go further afield and buy some Corona but decided to delay that purchase. From there we went next door to Moose River Coffee, because I thought a cup of their especially smooth brew would revive me.
Our next stop was Cornerstone Consignments, where Kim found an adorable purse and two pair of earrings. Then I suggested we go to New 2 You Consignment Shop, where Kim bought several sweaters. That woman is always cold. We hit Young’s General Store and Ace Hardware on our way out of town. They were having a luau, which they have had before but I missed.
As I type this, I am inclined to type more about each stop. However, I feel these places would be better served by individual blog posts. I hope I can follow through on such a thing. In the meantime, I’m going to call this an acceptable Scattered Saturday post. I hope you were somewhat entertained.
