Thursday April 6th, 2023 Flight 93 Memorial and Drive Back to New York

 We had breakfast at our hotel.  It was not as good as breakfast at our Ohio lodging but it was adequate, for sure.  Then we packed up and headed to the FLIGHT 93 Memorial.  A man at the hotel had given us very good directions so we found it easily.  First we stopped here, at the TOWER OF VOICES.




And then we went to the Visitors Center and saw all of the exhibits.  It is very well organized and presented.  It was too cold and windy to walk out to see the exact site of the crash, but we could see the area from a in a small building which had a volunteer available to explain things.  After that we decided to head to New York without trying to go to the other places we had hoped to go to during this trip.

We stopped at a rest area that offered bathrooms and a couple of places that sold food.  We decided to get a small lunch at the Burger King.  We both had Whopper Jrs.  I drove after that until we got fairly close to Erie, PA.  Marlene suggested stopping at PARK AND EAT, but we really were not all that hungry, so we continued on.  We finally decided to go to Chik-fil-A  in West Seneca (I think).  Boy, that place was busy.  We got sandwiches to take home.  

Marlene dropped me off around seven thirty p.m.  I put a few things away, and ate my sandwich, looked briefly at my mail and listened to phone messages.  I rebooted my modem and now it seems to be working.   I called Peg to let her know I am home.  I am thoroughly exhausted.

DAY EIGHT of Alaskan Cruise: Thursday, September 18, 2025 Skagway

Image
 This was what I saw out the window when I got up. The RUBY PRINCESS had stopped and we were in Skagway!  We had breakfast at the Botticelli (I had a soft boiled egg, toast, oatmeal and a banana) and then we returned to our room to get ready for getting off the ship and going to Skagway.  We got tickets for Shuttle #10 and went down to wait to be called.  Things moved along fairly quickly. The shuttle boat was one of the lifeboats, it took us to the mainland.  This is a view of the RUBY PRINCESS from the port.   When we arrived we took a shuttle to the downtown area where we walked around a bit. The downtown area has a lot of interesting shops, etc. but we did not have time to go in many of them.  Here are a few pictures:    We found a geocaches in the library (hooray). And you can see it in this picture that I took.   We picked up a few free items from various jewelry stores.  There were a lot of jewelry stores, and we did ...

Week of Sunday, August 10th through Saturday, August 16th, 2025 (Recipe for Crazy Crust Pie)

 SUNDAY:   I took my trash out early today and it was SO HOT, that I felt that my breath had been sucked out of me.  I messaged Jan about it, since her asthma really bothers her in hot weather and I knew that she might be better off staying home from church.  Church was very good, the Eastmans performed and spoke.  After church, Glenda, Andrea, Marlene and I went to THE OLIVE LEAF for lunch.  I had the turkey dinner, which was very good even though they did not serve my gravy on the side like I requested.  I brought a lot of turkey and also my whole gen salad home.  Andrea told us the story about how she and two of her kids along with other people in a church she attended in Ohio went down to New Orleans to help out after Hurricane Katrina.  When I got home, I watched part of the four part documentary about  it.  HURRICANE KATRINA:  Race Against Time.  Crazy Crust Pie 1 C. flour 1/4 C. sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 t...

In the morning, I called an antique dealer and asked if he would be interested in looking at the furniture in Mary Anne's cottage.  It looks to me as if several pieces are antiques.  He is interested, and we will get together soon.   On the way  to Olcott, I stopped at a donation box and dropped off three or four bags of clothing.  Once I got to her cottage, I tackled the kitchen.  Betty did not do a good job of straightening out under the sink yesterday so I took everything out and started again.  I was able to finish the entire kitchen, but the floor still needs scrubbing.  I will need water to do that.  Today, I took my own water. I stopped at Reid's and picked up a burger and fries.  I took a nap in the afternoon, and when I got up, I reorganized most of my spices. I went to the Royalton Center United Methodist Church for their take out spaghetti supper  (first I went to Mary Anne's house to put the trash bins away, but som...
