My most recent thoughts......

I have been prodded a few times lately to add to this blog.....All right!! All right!! I'll do it!!....On June 22 of this year I was able to go camping....I went with my son and his wife.....They had rented a cabin a smidgen south of the small town of Loudonville...We had such a hard time....You know how hard it is to put the dishes in the dishwasher!!! To me it was more like a small house than the true meaning of a "cabin"...... It was rather rainy driving down and on and off once we arrived .......By 3:00 PM we had all our stuff in the cabin....My son asked me what I wanted to do and I came up with hanging around downtown Loudonville and see if any stores were open since it was Sunday......There were a few stores open so we entertained ourselves by walking through them....One was The Amish Oak Furniture store.....It was a delight to walk [or roll, in my case] through all the absolutely gorgeous furniture!! The smell of all that rich wood was rapturing and I made sure that my nose got plenty of whiffs!!!!......We traveled down both sides of the street downtown and ended up at Dee's Dairy Delite.....I had a banana shake and fried cauliflower....the latter of which I shared with my two companions.....We sat outside facing the main street and watched the "World of Loudonville" go by......We were very amused by a young girl trying to walk her small dog across the street.....She had the dog on one of those unwind/wind kind of leashes and after the traffic cleared made the attempt to get her and the dog across.....And much to our delight the dog took off across at a large angle from the girl!! It was all rather FUNNY as she reeled him back and forth and finally to her side!!! What a CRAZY world!!!!!
