Late summer dinner on the deck
Sour cream & chive potatoes, almond green beans, bacon-wrapped scallops and steak with Bogle petite syrah. Perfect way to de-stress after a hectic day! Thanks, Jeff!!!!

Watkins Glen

They were getting to me and my legs are normal ( well somewhat)!!!

You Gotta Have Friends......
(cue Bette Midler.....)
Friends....such an important part of our lives. So simple and yet so complex. So healing and yet sometimes so painful. Friends of all different types and different levels. Forever friends, forgotten friends, former friends, family friends,
You would think that the act of friendship is pretty straight forward....but we humans have vastly different personalities and expectations - precisely what can make a friendship can also break a friendship. Regrettably, I have had my share of lost friendships - in which, I certainly bear a fair amount of blame. It's not like any of us truly want to weaken or break a friendship - it is usually due to miscommunication/misunderstanding of each other's expectations. If only friendships came with an owner's manual and warranty!
I came across this book at a tag sale... The Friendship Covenant (How To Be Best Friends for Life) by Connie Dianne Walters. A book that is the closest thing to a Friendship Owner's Manual if there ever was one. It is written with common sense and humor. 45 principles celebrating the bonds, joys, challenges, admonitions and spiritual journey of friendships. Now don't let that number scare you - each principle is detailed in about one and half pages each. It is a book to read, re-read, share, learn from and keep as a reference guide - just like your other owner's manuals - well, then again maybe you should put this book in a safer more accessible place then the refrigerator or stove manual!
Ok - so now you want it, don't you? Unfortunately, it appears to be out of print but can be found here. Or perhaps we can meet up and share the book over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine - just like friends do....but be patient with me....I'm still learning after all these years......
