Calling it a Show at Philadelphia

Another day at the Atlantic Design and Manufacturing Trade show. Booths were all set up. By Wednesday, we were attracting more attention. Our distributor from Germany joined us for all three days of show fun You know at trade shows you typically find some sort of table attraction to draw you in and most of the time it’s candy, hand sanitizer, bags, key chains, pens and other what-not items.? Being the “foodie” that I am, my focus was on … 1. The Healthy New York State apples (being that we are a New York State manufacturing company and 2. the [...]

2011 Red Baron Fall Tour

We missed the tour last year but no way we were skipping out this year. We look forward to meeting up with our “sporty” friends each year for driving around the best country roads and seeing the gorgeous Fall scenery. This year, the tour was in the Hudson Valley region of New York. We were going to see the Aerodrome museum and the Air show in Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. The focus was on the history of flight from 1909 through 1939 featuring performances of early World War 1 biplanes. But first – arrival reception… Our accommodations would be the Hudson [...]

A GIVEAWAY Bar Accessories Needed

The worst thing happened the other day. I’m always in a rush and I will never, EVER learn that bad things happen when I’m in a rush. I was taking a photo of wine when the plaque you see behind those glasses suddenly scooted forward knocking the glasses off the shelf. That would have been a minor catastrophe if I had been at our bar. But I was in the eating area where the NEW CARPET had been installed about a month ago. Oh yeah. You guessed it. All over the carpet. Luckily there is a pattern and the pattern [...]

One important link

It was a quiet Friday at work. Sue was off celebrating her birthday and the phones weren’t ringing. It was, however a busy day for paperwork. Who enjoys paperwork? I have to take numerous breaks to get through the monotony of it. It has to be done, simply overhead but a must. Ho Hum. The one important link: Sustainable Food – Sustainable Agriculture. Buy local. Here is the link on Examiner. A movie review: “Up In The Air” with George Clooney. I just love that guy! He is so real. So NOT Hollywood. A very enjoyable movie. The scenes were [...]

If Every Sunday

If every Sunday could be as nice as today, then Sunday would pull rank on Friday and become my favorite day of the week. Shane must have heard me tossing and turning and struggling trying to get back to sleep at 5:30 this morning. He began the morning “ WHIIINNNE! Who could sleep with that kind of music in the back ground? That’s not really a question but in case you ARE wondering, Ted could. Shane and I were out the door by 6 am. I walked him to the soccer field off South Park Drive and we played a [...]

Hunter Mountain Arrival

Hunter Mountain Arrival: No Snowboard yet. The desk at the Kaatskill Mountain Club Resort didn’t have our room ready and they wouldn’t allow us to get the rental passes until we checked in so, we were sent off to the Van Winkle lounge to indulge in the most wonderful glass of Petite Syrah. After sharing a glass of wine and checking once again on the room which STILL wasn’t ready, we ventured off to explore the ski/snowboard area. Walking was treacherous since ice paved our way. We found the “staging” area where we would spend the better part of our [...]
