The Jim & Caralien Show

It was funnier earlier w/the iPhone, but here she's managing 2 phones. Uh huh, uh huh, yawn, oh my dear. My little girl is all grown up (and do I really sound like that on the phone?).

If you don't know the reference, it's the parents and pet owners who give their children & pets coffee, claiming that otherwise their babies are monsters while ignoring that caffeine is toxic to dogs & unnecessary for children (who already have more energy than adults).

Verrazano Bridge/Dog Walk

I must admit (gleefully) that we live in one of the most beautiful (if not the most beautiful) places in New York. Here are the snapshots which include all of the seasons and the beauty therein. Fortunately for us, we had a mild winter, and were able to take the 2 mile trek regardless of month or time of day. One of the coolest things for me was seeing the sun set at different points on Staten Island over the course of the past few months--during January it was closer to the Verrazano Bridge, and since then has moved further north (to the right). Also, it was dark in January at 5PM; now it gets dark after 8PM.

Final Escape to Wild Safari

On closing day, we found yaks and elk-like animals fighting over a hill, had a very close encounter with a giraffe who thought 1) we have a dirty hood which he should clean the leaves from and 2) our windshield was tasty, found 2 ostrich attacking one another near the lion cage before being distracted by us (they started to follow--ahhhhh!), found the bears doing bear things (but not sitting in the green algae), and monkeys having a Tom & Ryan fight. Then we went on some rides. :)

Pirate Halloween

Pumpkin Jack

I had picked up the gold coins last night and Jim wanted to carve a pumpkin (surprise surprise--he wants to be a pirate this year). I don't remember the last time I carved a pumpkin--it must have been well over 20 years ago. Next year we'll try something really elaborate, or not.

Autumn Leaves

Old San Juan

We took so many photos that this city deserved its own page. Loved the tiles and blue brick. 97F and no breeze, so even with hats and 30SPF, we each became tanned and a little burnt this day. The free trolley around the old town was great and we managed to hear a 7th grade class being quizzed on the history of Puerto Rico.

Schenk House Visit

The West Windsor Historical Society is at this 130+ year old farm house, barn, smokehouse, etc. Nearby is Grover's Mill, the location from which Orson Wells broadcast "War of the Worlds" in 1938. Open the second Sunday of each month, this month's theme was Quilts. It will be interesting to see new exhibits over the next few months.

Are you my Rogers?

John Rogers, British born, emigrated to New Jersey prior to the 1680's to the area near where we live. As we pass various cemeteries, we'll document what we've found, and eventually match them up to the family records. Some of the gravestones are depressing--many were children under the age of 5.

Jpg meets Zoe

Memorial Day Weekend

We had planned to visit Vermont, but there was plenty to do here. Rotary Pancake breakfast, Parade on Nassau, bathing Zoe, getting pets shot and Frederick chipped, and kayaking in addition to grilling on the porch Saturday and Sunday nights.

Springtime grilling!

Sometimes it's nice having a porch, such as on the first sunny day of spring (thus far the ONLY nice day). The hibachi was christened and we had grilled salmon, pork, and mini burgers. Yes, we're pigs. :)

But we survived, and even made off with over $4k worth of booty!

In the morning, we heard a cacophony of birds...doot-de-doo, honk honk, deet deet! (repeat constantly). We decided they were rabid monkeys taunting Zoe--and were right: we heard a bunch swoop down to steal the burnt baguette off the hot grill and then giggled like schoolgirls. :) Lots of Zoe pics

Another tour based on the premise of eating locally...Weyerbacher makes Old Heathen, a new favourite, and is 50 miles away, as the crow flies. We had a taste of so many of the beers, reviewed on Yelp in more detail. Recommended to go to Porter's Pub afterwards, we found our next abandoned castle to storm. We plan to return, possibly during Superbowl weekend, to visit the Crayola museum (yes, adults do seem to go there without children!)

When we were planning our wedding, we wanted a bag printed emulating the Warhol bag I had, with a strip of Andy in the photobooth, the poppy flowers, Mao in drag, and the cow. We ran out of time, so for anyone who made it to the wedding--this was supposed to be on the bag. Instead, you got neutral cotton gift bags which were less obnoxious. We used a flower from Staten Island, a photo of Zoe as a puppy (getting a decent photo of her these days, including in profile, is nearly impossible), our strip from a photobooth from 2004 at the San Mateo County Fair, Frederick in my SF apartment, and 1976 childhood photos from 5827 West Race Street and 3237 Arcadia Place.

Pumpkin Picking

We ended up with 2 giant pumpkins, 2 baby blue pumpkins, 2 round ones, a couple of spaghetti squash, a gallon of cider.

St. Lucia 1st Anniversary

Attempting to be earth-friendly eco-tourists, we didn't stay at a posh resort. Just be forewarned that places may call themselves eco-friendly when really all they mean is they won't have running water at least half the time and you will have to be creative and in fine spirits to make the most of your trip.

We passed what we first thought was a castle, then inferred that it was likely a hospital for the insane or those infected with tuberculosis. Nearly 2 years later, we found a route in, and here are the photos. They really do not do the place justice. It's beautiful, but terrifying in its decay. We did manage to make it into the place, but little more than 15 feet. The last photos show the route out.
