Champlain Canal

These are from two weekends ago.....I know I'm slow!

We were looking for a place to walk while we were at the dog trial & found this hiking trail
It follows the Champlain canal




We eventually came out in the grounds of the Phillip Schuyler house.



When we had driven there on Saturday we kept passing signs that said Zoo with an arrow so on the way home we decided to try & find it.  We drove forever on back roads & through farmland & very few houses.  We were ready to give up when we came upon the "zoo"........ using the term lightly!  There were a few bedraggled ostriches and some........
cows & goats!  That was the "zoo"!
This is Saratoga lake......still half frozen!
Love

    My friends that have the big huge sissy dog alfie, the golden doodle, are driving their motor home up to Albany for a month shortly and since I have mentioned Molly...like a whole lot, wondered if you would like a dog playdate. Not sure of all the dates yet but Shara got so excited at the idea of meeting possibly Molly.

Oh my.....where does the time go!  Ten years ago this scared & tiny little girl was brought into a room full of strangers. She was so confused by the strange faces. Now look at the beautful, confident girl she has grown into. We love you LiLiđź’– Love

46 years ago...............................

Today is our anniversary & I  have decided this post will be my version about how we met.......Popster's version would more than likely not be the same but that's how we roll! It was new year's eve 1963....yikes!.......I was a telephone operator in a little town called Huntingdon in England.  It was about 3 miles from Alconbury, an amercan air force base.  All calls went thru our switchboard including ones from the base so consequently we got to know all the GIs.  we would meet them at the Nickel Coin.........pictured here during our coffee..... or should I say tea?....breaks & lunch hours.  Whenever some newbies were transfered in they would be brought to town to meet the local girls. It was not "love at first sight"......I thought he was kinda nerdy & he thought I was a "stuck-up english broad"!  It was a few weeks later when he asked me to go to the movies that I realized he wasn't so "nerdy", so I guess we'll call
