Bfth's Boring Blog

  Saturday is a nice relaxing day, right?  Wrong!  And I think many of you would agree.  Weekends aren't usually for relaxing, they are for getting things done.  This past Saturday we had A LOT to get done.  I'm going to write it all down here and I'm thinking that by the end, you're going to be tired of reading.  (I'll be tired from writing and LIVING it all.) Here's how it went down: Get up, get dressed and have a bit of breakfast.  Coffee is consumed, but not too much because I knew we would be on the road and there really aren't rest stops on the route I was taking.  We make sure that the car is pretty much completely empty so there's lots of room for "stuff."  We would need lots of room for "stuff" We hit the road around 9 (give or take).  We head east/south/east to New York.  As I've talked about way too much, my son is wrapping up his junior year and with a small SUV, there was ...

Is there any one of us who does not like to be treated specially?  I mean each of us is unique and special in our own way, but to be picked out for a special task or special honor is always a wonderful treat.

I was thrilled to learn that our little village was going to have one of its own.    What I didn't know at the time was all of the hard work that was already going on behind the scenes to open this amazing little gem.    We have been here for nearly 2 years, but we don't know that many peo...

 ...and my heat is still coming on.  I know soon I will be complaining about how hot is outside...or maybe not.  It just seems like the cold will never end.  (And I’m not just talking about the mountains of the Poconos; it’s been cold in NJ too!) At least as I write this the sun is out. (Fingers crossed that it stays that way and will warm up things.) I so want to go outside and get some of that vitamin D. Its spring darn it!  Let’s feel that spring weather.  It’s MAY!  That’s practically summer, we need warm, sunny days!  I need warm sunny days! Also as I write this, one of the guys from the pond company is doing a cleaning.  I am so impressed with the company (especially as I realize what a small company it is and how young the owner is...which makes me feel really old, but...).  We now have an annual contract with them.  So I've already paid them for the year...no unexpected bills.  And they will come out regularly for a cle...
