Spent the weekend in New York visiting friends. The Highlight was the Saratoga Wine and Food Festival.
Expat mom leaves Japan after nearly 4 yrs. to begin a new adventure living in New Jersey, then moves to NYC 7 yrs later. But then moves to Chicago.

NJ Return
After an 8 1/2 hour drive back to NJ, went with hubby to the Frenchtown Riverfest where
we saw BBQ Bob and the Spare Ribs perform. They were pretty good!
Work
An Aunt helped with the barn clean out one day. We cleared out 260 lbs of scrap metal and over 700 lbs of trash. An Uncle brought the pick up truck and helped us get it all to the dump/recycle place....in the nick of time!
"Why didn't they ever throw anything away?"
"We love Nails."
Hannibal Lechter the cow vs a small pitchfork.
The scrap metal piles.
Getting the metal in the truck.
Tying it down with twine.
We did it!
Time for an ice cold beer!
Painting Work
Had to do some painting in the basement at the farm. Using a Leak Stop sort of spray paint. Forgot to get a pic of the final result. I'm sure its beautiful. It was hot, sweaty work and my hair went into full Gene Wilder mode. (RIP)
Roman Shades
A couple of bad pics of the new roman shades in the living room and dining room.
Bottom is a little curtain I made for my closet window.
Back to School
The Boy stayed here for about 10 days before going back to school. It was a nice visit. Here we are at The Grizzly Pear after dropping his things off at his dorm room.
Concert
One evening we got some take out Thai for dinner and had a picnic at the Thursday evening concert.
This one featured the Amish Outlaws. They were pretty good.
Hiking with The Boy
The boy was back for about 10 days before he went back to school. One day we went hiking together. It was fun. We had a picnic too.
