Waiting…
We last posted May 23 and we were hoping to begin the foundation excavation soon. Well, nothing has happened in the past month! We are enjoying camping in our “House Building” campsite near the head of our driveway where we will be out of the way when construction begins.
Hello Again Friends & Family! It’s been awhile since we posted to the blog. We hope you are all doing well! In 2024 we stuck close to home, not doing much traveling except to go to our land in Maine for about 4 weeks last Fall. In early 2025 we went to Maryland for a few days to visit Vicki’s Step-Mom Gail. It was great to see you Gail!

The blog has been offline for a few weeks as we moved it to a new hosting provider. We were running out of space for all the pictures! We are now back online and can finally publish this post from almost 2 weeks ago. Let us know if you see any strange issues while viewing the blog. Thanks!
We took another sight seeing drive this weekend. This time we drove through some areas of Ulster County that we hadn’t driven through in a long time. Around Thanksgiving it rained at our house and apparently snowed a bit in the Catskills.
EXPLORING SOME OF DUTCHESS COUNTY AND VICINITY
We took another sightseeing drive today. What a difference a week makes in the Fall colors! The colors are well past peak now and we can see Winter is on the way.
FALL IN THE HUDSON VALLEY
The Fall colors are peaking at home and we decided to take a break from all the things we have been doing to take a nice long drive West of our house into the Catskills.
GOING HOME!
TRAVEL DAY
From: Spacious Skies Minuteman Campground, Littleton, MA.
To:Home, NY!
Day 181 – It was 49 degrees at 7 a.m. this morning. We departed at 9:45 a.m., 51 degrees, and it was partly cloudy. Little did the girls know that they were going home. They think they’re just going to another campground – would there be trees and birds; would there be ocean; would there would be lots of people?
MAINE TO MASSACHUSETTS.
TRAVEL DAY
From: Wolfe’s Neck Oceanfront Camping, Freeport, ME.
To:Spacious Skies Minuteman Campground, Littleton, MA.
Day 180 – It rained last night so we were glad we changed to sites to a less muddy location. The Cows, however, don’t care if it’s raining or not! We took a video of the cows being led to pasture this morning right by our campsite.
CRAB & LOBSTER.
Day 179 – It was 44 degrees this morning and another pretty day. It’s supposed to rain this afternoon and all night. Most of the campers are leaving today, leaving the campground pretty empty. The site we have in the field looked like it would become a muddy mess in the rain. We decided to change sites to one of our favorites that doesn’t get muddy when it rains.
TRAVEL DAY
From: Forest Ridge Campground, Ellsworth, ME.
To:Wolfe’s Neck Oceanfront, Freeport, ME.
Day 178 – We got a little rain last night, but it’s a very nice day today. It was 46 degrees at 7 a.m. this morning. This was a good campground, very quiet. Just what we needed!
CRAB QUICHE!
Day 177 – The campground was very quiet and we both slept well. Vicki’s continuing to improve bit by bit and Rob’s foot was a bit better today too. We tried to order crab quiche for takeout, it’s only 10 mins away. No answer on the phone. WHAT!! We quickly drove to the restaurant and found that they were too busy to answer the phone, but we did get a seat and finally had our wonderful crab quiche lunches.
