Our New York Trip!

Some of you know we left for New York last weekend for a short visit to see some people we have been missing for the past few years. I am posting a description of our trip by use of my cute little camera. If you find this boring, I understand, but if you are interested, continue to scroll down for a brief photo synopsis of our short but full trip. We decided before we even left home that we were going to take this trip and have fun no matter what! Here we are in flight. Ray hates flying, but he was good sport and tried to smile anyway.

I love the sky from the window view

Here we are just about to land in Syracuse, NY

Our first unannounced stop. We popped in on our good buddy Johnny without warning and had a nice little visit. This is a neighbor we loved when we lived in NY 13 years ago.

Then I called my best buddy Kathy and wouldn't you know it, she made time for us that very moment. I didn't expect to have time to see her so I did not tell her ahead of time that we were coming. Once I heard her voice on the phone I knew I was home! It was just like old times:)


This is the rental car we were blessed with. It was a brand new HHR with only 2000 miles on it. We loved it and now we are thinking about purchasing one of our own, but we both agree it must be RED!

Lake Ontario is just beautiful this time of year

My brothers Chris and Greg; so good to see them both!

Me and Chris could pass as twins, don't you think? Well, I mean if he had more hair

Here's my uncle and his wife

The Reunion

Here's Ray!

The perfect way to end our trip was with a first time meeting with a blogging buddy of mine. Iris and I have been conversing via, blog and through correspondence for over a year and we finally got to meet.

This woman is as sweet and kind as she looks. We enjoyed her words of wisdom and candid sharing of her views. It's funny how the Lord will bring people together. Our visit was way too short, but very full of love, laughter and common a bond which is the Lord Jesus. God is good!

Time to return our car...we were tired and though it was another short trip, both Ray and I agreed it was time to go home.
