DAY WITH CONNIE: October 12, 2017


Carol and I decided NOT to go to Jordanville for a tour of the HOLY TRINITY MONASTERY.  Instead, we decided
to spend the day with our friend Connie.  Connie is older than us and she is not in good health
For years, she has wanted to go to Carol's house to see Carol's horses, but she has been unable
to get herself there because she cannot spend a lot of time driving, due to one of her vestibular
disorders.   So, yesterday, after talking with Carol, I called Connie and asked her if she
thought she could come out to Carol's house if we picked her up and took her home.  She said
yes, she could. So, we planned out our lunch and left at nine thirty a.m. this morning to drive to Oneonta (just this side)to pick her up.
Before going to Carol's house, Carol took us on a drive up LONGVIEW ROAD to get a
nice view of the valley.  The sky was gray and overcast without a bit of blue showing, but it was still stunning.   I took several pictures.  I think this may be my favorite
Once back at Carol's, we all went down to see Carol's horses, DIA and MYSTIQUE.  Carol brought them out
of the pasture area so Connie could get close to them.  Connie thoroughly enjoyed this and I took
several pictures.
After lunch of egg salad sandwiches, salad and chips we dug into Carol's homemade APPLE PIE!!!! It was
thoroughly delicious!!!!  Carol went out to feed the horses and I cleaned up the kitchen.  Then we
visited for a while.
When it got to be time to leave, we noticed that the sky had cleared up, so we went back to LONGGVIEW
ROAD, and I took a couple more pictures.
 Before we headed back to New Berlin. We stopped at The Magic Closet in the Zion Episcopal Church and each of us found  few items to take.  We checked out the Morris Farmers Market but it looked  like most of the vendors had already left, so we did not stop.
Carol prepared a ham slice for supper  Very good!
