Weekend of Waterfalls with Mom and Dad

Last weekend Mom and Dad came to visit - Mom just posted pictures from their camera. The highlights were donuts and cider at Letchworth Park (and viewing of 3 waterfalls), a trip to another country! (to see Niagra Falls), buffalo wings at the home of the original buffalo wing, pulling into a veggie factory to see piles and piles of carrots and beets, homemade coq au vain, and an all around great time. I will post my own pictures, a little more detail, and a 6-month belly shot ASAP.

p.s. Thanks Ma for the great picture posting!

Helen Appleseed

I took my camera to "work" yesterday to take some pictures of the orchard I've been working at for the past three weeks. I have actually had a great time learning about NY apples and meeting all the locals who come in for their apples, cider, and donuts. Here are a few pictures of the apple stand I work in and the wide selection of products we offer. All in all, the experience has been a stich.

The orchard is made up of 700 trees, just yonder beyond the fence.

I made this pumpkin arrangement. Isn't it breathtaking? Just a sample of my creativity~

They're delicious.

And a picture of me (and Dodger) at 5 1/2 months

Mary and Ed do Geneseo

Mary and Ed came for a visit last weekend. We had a lovely time by sight seeing at Letchworth State Park and going on a little wine toodle on Senaca Lake - NY wine country. I had a nice time, despite being designated driver. The scenery was fabulous, the wine was tasty, and we found a great little restaurant (thanks Chowhound) overlooking the lake. Here is the weekend documented in pictures.

Ed's hat reads "A bad day fishing is better than a good day working". We all thought it was a perfect fit for Ventosa Vineyards.

John, showing us all how it's done

Belated Yia-Yia Visit Pictures

Here are a few pictures we just obtained from Katie and Karl of our visit to Yia-Yia's (John's grandmother) in Pennsylvania. We went last month so I appear to be less pregnant than I currently am.
