Round Lake

Round Lake is one of the lakes at Green Lakes State Park.  Will any of my turkey rocks still be there?  IDK!  This is a busy hiking trail.  Good luck!

Onondaga Park

Onondaga Park is a magnificent gem of a place in the heart of Syracuse, New York, and on a sunny fifty degree day in November, OMG!  So amazing.

I found this thing – the spot where Mom and Dad took their wedding photos on October 29, 1961!   So amazing.

You can find one of a dozen turkey rocks here!  Unless someone else beats you to it.  Happy hunting!!!

Emerson Park

If you need a hint as to where to go to search for some turkey rocks, then head over to Emerson Park located at 6877 E. Lake Road, Auburn, New York 13021.

The park has pavilions for picnicking, a playground, a pier, a boat launch and one hundred thirty-five acres of land overlooking Owasco Lake.  Although the restrooms are closed for the season and it is a brisk hike with the wind coming off the lake, you will still LOVE it.  Let me know if you find anything.

ISO Fish Fry – McDonalds

I decided to revisit the McDonalds Filet-o-Fish sandwich.

Presentation:  I went inside the restaurant but I ordered to-go.  The food was presented in a bag with a sticker that corollated with my sales receipt.

Taste:  I ate the fish sandwich and fries in the car.  It tasted like the comfort of memories – you know what I mean?  When I tried to revisit KFC, I found it way too salty.  I also had a fling with Hostess coffee cake.  That was like eating a brick of sugar.  But this fish sandwich was exactly how I remembered it from childhood, maybe even better.  The fish patty was nice and hot, with cheddar cheese, and tartar sauce  on a brioche bun.  It was the best!  So perfect.  McDonalds fries are such an indulgence.  Again, they are the fries from which all others are measured – because they are exactly as they have always been.  So, so good!

Restaurant Experience:  This McDonalds was so clean!  And I am so impressed with these young workers.  They looked like they were enjoying their jobs.  The guy at the register was very polite.  The staff in the kitchen worked as a team and the food was ready a lot faster than I thought it would be.

Location:  I went to the McDonalds at 357 Genesee Street, Auburn, New York 13021.  There are McDonalds everywhere in the United States.  All you have to do is Google McDonalds to find the one near you.

Parking:  There was plenty of parking.  I was there between lunch and dinner so it was not that busy.

Turkey Graduation Day

Welcome, turkeys class of 2024.  Enjoy the journey.

Rock Art – Turkeys!

For those of you who enjoyed the rock art I hid in the woods last year – prepare for more of that fun.  I am in the process of painting three dozen…

TURKEYS!  Just in time for Thanksgiving.

I just finished them!  I will take individual photos tomorrow.

The Magic of the 777

I have a thing for 777.  When I see it in the world around me, it’s just so magical.  I saw another one today and, coupled with sunshine and exercise, art projects and evening plans, I feel particularly blessed.

Thanks, universe!  I appreciate you. <3

Fashion & Booty

There is nothing I love more than a Halloween party…

…with The United Booty Foundation.  Disco tongue-n-cheek, disco balls, disco drinks at the Booty Bar, disco music, disco dancing and tons of sequins, glitter, and in my case, a silk and metallic-threaded Alice & Olivia gown – my first foray into the leopard/cheetah movement, kind of a Melody from Josie & the Pussycats vibe.

So much fun!  Like and follow the band on Facebook to join the fun.  This concert was last Saturday night.  The next one is planned for Saturday, April 26, 2025 At Sharkey’s Bar & Grill, 7240 Oswego Road, Liverpool, NY 13090.
