I walked two miles this morning with my dad. Hopefully, today starts a new discipline. I really need to get back into shape!
Sometime around 11, Mindy and I went out to pick more blueberries. Even while talking on my cell phone, I still managed to pick eight pounds in 45 minutes with one hand. Mindy and I left with 14 lbs. total to add to the 19 lbs. we had picked over the weekend. I’m thinking that we might have to do something with these blueberries soon; pies, smoothies or maybe we can turn them into a liqueur.
I attempted to work, but since my computer is up in the loft, and so was my sister and her daughter, things weren’t as effective as I had hoped. Eventually, I moved my operation (computer, monitor, keyboard, etc) downstairs to my bedroom. I did this in part so I could still get some work done today, but also because my sister has decided to stay until next Tuesday… and she sleeps in the loft (she was going to leave today). I’m an early riser, she’s a late sleeper. I can work longer if I can get to my computer before 10AM — It’s logical. Really, I should have moved it sooner, but I thought that the loft would be mine sometime today.
Yeah, I finally got into town. Penn Yan looks about the same, though a few stores have either closed or changed ownership. It was nice to see the bait shop, the go carts, Keuka Winery, Hunt Country Vineyards and Seneca Farms Ice Cream again. I was pleased to see that there is a Red Box in town. My sister and I rented a couple of movies for tonight. My son noted not long ago that the nearest Starbucks is 72 miles away, if that’s an indicator of how progressive this area is: Good enough for Red Box; not quite up to getting a Starbucks yet.
