Fun at the BPO
Posted in Life with Lyn, Nascar, Uncategorized on May 26, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Saturday night my Mother and I attended the music of the Glenn Miller Orchestra playing with the BPO at Kleinhan’s. Although there were some songs I didn’t recognize most of them I had heard in the past. The music was terrific as always, vocal soloists and did quite a few brass solos. The crowd loved [...]

While at the Middleport Free Library’s book sale I picked up a copy of Gone with the Wind. The cover isn’t in the best condition but I did see the price in 1954 was $1.99. Lucky for me the library used book sale sold it to me for 1 dollar. This will be a part [...]
Grocery Store Blues
Posted in Food and Wine, Life with Lyn, Uncategorized on May 23, 2008 | 4 Comments »
The lines seemed short at the grocery store tonight. Maybe it’s because many of us are cutting down on purchases due to the rising costs of food and well, everything else. Stopping after work is my usual thing and I seem to routinely get stuck behind two or three people that look like they are [...]

Well, a few years ago I told my kids if they ever wanted to talk about it, I was here to listen. I also told my college age daughter and high school son to let me know if they had tried it, I’d give them all the information they needed. I told them to stay [...]
Rainy Days and Sundays

Today is Sunday and it’s raining. Instead of being frustrated about all the things I can’t do outside, I will turn my attention to indoor projects. Sounds good doesn’t it? So I sound like a cheesy self help book but it’s true. I could be writing a book review and trying to put my office [...]
This Fairly Old House
Posted in 2009 Celebration Village of Middleport, Life with Lyn, Nascar, Uncategorized on May 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I like older houses, I live in one. Older homes are stately, they usually have strong foundations. Sometimes they have unusual molding in the living room and tall lovely windows. On the down side, they may have a small creepy basement or a tiny garage. Because lets face it, 150 years ago, no one [...]

The other night, while flipping through the channels I caught Robert Klein on a talk show. He was telling the story of when he came to college out in the country from the Bronx and hadn’t seen cows wandering outside before. Even though I knew how it would end, I listened to the whole [...]

The Middleport committee is looking old photographs from the Village for a special calendar that is going to be printed up and sold as a fundraiser for the 150th Celebration in 2009. To make the year even bigger, the local Fire department [...]
