September 2017
Places Visited
Rachel, Jon, Derek and I ate at KellyJeans in Goshen, New York. We had a lovely lunch. I especially like their beef on "wick. After lunch we visited my mother, came to my home for a rousing game of Aggravation, and then Derek and I took Jon and Rachel to Stewart Airport in Newburgh for their flight to Ireland! Scruffy stayed with Derek and I.
After a few days, Scruffy and I went to Rachel and Jon's homestead to take care of their cats, chickens, roosters, turkeys, and sheep. It is a different way of living for me and I enjoyed it.
While I was there I went to Indian Ladder Farms. I looked around their gift shop, bought a turnover and some apples, and walked around this working farm.
Derek came up one day so he could go to a couple of doctors. We had a late lunch at the Tai Pan Chinese Restaurant in Clifton Park, New York, one of our favorite restaurants.
I also walked around Altamont, New York, and ate at the Subway there a couple of times.
