Sheri’s Visit with Jerry

Sheri took advantage of the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas to travel to Tidioute, PA to visit her dad, Jerry.   Sheri and Jerry enjoyed catching up, seeing some of the local sites and traveled to Erie, PA for a day where they toured Presque Isle by car.  It was a visit that was long overdue and they are both looking forward to another father-daugher visit again soon.

Sandy’s Aftermath

If you want to understand what hurricane Sandy did to the north-east region of the US, follow the link below to see some amazing photos.  It is hard to believe that some of these scenes are so close to our home.

Happy Apples

We enjoyed a beautiful sunny day today and we were able to do normal activities that needed electricity (laundry, internet, etc).  This afternoon we hiked at a favorite local venue (Barn Island) and only encountered a few downed trees.  Sunset over the ocean was spectacular!  Now we are at home enjoying a real fire and drinking “Happy Apples” to celebrate.  The recipe for this perfect autumn cocktail is given below if you’d like to try it.

Happy Apple recipe
1.5 oz gold rum
3 oz apple juice (unfiltered)
1.2 oz lemon juice
Twist of lime/lemon
A little ice

Mix well, and drink slowly.
