Mom’s putting the laundry away and when I offered to help, she told me to find something else to do. She says the reason all her clothes are dirty is because I jumped on her and left paw prints. I disagree, I think they are fashionable, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my short life, it’s when Mom is irritated, stay out of her way. So, I thought I would finish blogging about Vermont. … [Read more...] about Vermont Part 2 by Ross
Vermont Part 1 by Ross
Mom told me to write about Vermont even though she says its her favorite state so far on this trip. She’s busy doing laundry so gave me the computer. I had to get Lark to help me turn it on, but I think I have the hang of it now. Pets aren’t allowed in the laundry and its too rainy and cold to go hiking so I’ll tell you about Vermont. I don’t have much to compare it too, but it … [Read more...] about Vermont Part 1 by Ross

But we did manage to see … [Read more...] about The Adirondacks by Cathy

I know in some ways, I am simplifying … [Read more...] about Women’s Rights National Historical Park by Cathy
Lots More Waterfalls by Ross
More waterfalls today! And Lark stayed home so I get to write again. We are now in the Finger Lakes region of New York, east of Niagara Falls. We drove here on Saturday. Its Memorial Day weekend so the campground where we are staying is really crowded. There is no dog park, but a big field where we can run and play off leash. But that’s not good for Lark, so she stayed to rest in the … [Read more...] about Lots More Waterfalls by Ross
Corning Museum of Glass by Cathy
Because I spent my career in museums, sometimes I can be blasé about them. Visiting one can feel like work as I look to see how exhibits were designed, artifacts displayed, and lighting installed. I am notorious for critiquing labels. I note the cleanliness of restrooms and friendliness of volunteers and staff and the prices and quality of items in the gift shop. I evaluate their educational … [Read more...] about Corning Museum of Glass by Cathy
