Hi Janis,

 JK> Hmmm... I don't think my dogs would be quite that cooperative :) Just
 JK> a guess.. (laugh)  I wonder.. Is Deborah available to train dogs
 JK> still?? (g)

Talk to her Uncle Sam about availability but don't count on it. (G) Last
I knew, she had some schools scheduled for this spring/summer, then back
to her job.  She's also training her new Sam dog.


 JK> > We don't need a lot of information; remember, I grew up about 90
 JK> minutes > away. (G)  Still will probably check the web sites to see if

 JK> Sure :) :) Places change... busnesses change, close, etc. whatever..
 JK> :) Just thinking of how much my hometown changed over the years.. boy
 JK> did it change.. Warwick went from being like Windsor (East-Podunk) to
 JK> Yuppie-ville (grin).

Margaretville went from a nice little small town, main income from
tourist but not bad for locals to a town full of junque shops, one
grocery store (had 3 at one point) still quite dependant on the tourist
dollars. To do any decent shopping, my parents usually go to Kingston or
Oneonta, usually in conjunction with medical or auto appointments. I
don't think I would be happy living there now.


>> I also called a bed and breakfast that's right here in Windsor... the
>> owner is supposed to call me back "after dinner" (grin).  He assured
>> me no one has EVER smoked in the rooms that they offer to people.

 JK> > Sounds good, especially if they give a military discount as well. If
 JK> > Dave S. is going to be the breakfast chef again, (He did a great job
 JK> > last year at Dale's!) we would only need the bed part.

 JK> Unfortunately we know now Dave won't be with us this time :(  Sorry to
 JK> hear about that, Dave :(  Next time we'll catch up with you, I'm sure
 JK> :)

We're booked at Pumpkin Pine Farm.  Decided to see my parents first so
we will be coming to the picnic from western NY.  I still may do a
cobbler on Saturday, especially if I can get some nice local fruit on
Friday.  We'll arrive Thursday, leave Monday.


 JK> I'm sure we'll have a great breakfast though :) I love doing
 JK> breakfasts if no one else does :)

>> There is also a kennel on the premise if you wanted to bring your dog
>> if you had one hehe

 JK> > Well, I do have a stuffed Bichon Frise..................

 JK> haha :)  No fair :) I expect you don't even have to deal with a can of
 JK> dog food then (g)

No, not that nor walking (and cleaning up after).  Down side is, no fuzz
therapy.

Catch you later,
