Day 11-

Hi All-

Sometimes you find the coolest most unique things close to home. We drove to Marion, NY today so that my husband could measure a job on a new build they are working on. It was a sunny day so we took the Pup for another ride. What a gorgeous piece of property the house sits on with lots of mature pine trees. The sky was so beautiful and full of fluffy clouds. This is the kind of day after winter that makes you feel alive again.

As we got closer to home we found this great old building near to our house. I will have to do some research to see if I can find out what it used to be. It looks like it may have originally been part of some business. We found it really interesting because it had the original stable doors on it which leads me to believe it may have been carriage storage back in the day or perhaps it was some kind of auto repair business. Super cool and I love stuff like this.

Thanks for coming with us today!

Day2- Today's Lunch was very interesting. Using leftover Broccoli from dinner last night I made a Broccoli and Egg scramble, Broccoli, Eggs and butter. It was pretty good but I am still craving the carbs that I have known and loved my whole life. Every morning my breakfast consisted of a cup of decaf  coffee 2 creams, 2 sugars, 2 slices of toast with peanut butter (lots of peanut butter). Yum! I do miss it but now I have opted to skip breakfast, no coffee, no toast with Peanut Butter and wait for lunch after I have fasted for at least 16-18 hours. Then I do a 2 egg and veggie lunch then a Keto friendly dinner and no food after 8pm. Tonight's dinner is a steak with roasted carrots and broccoli and beets. I've so got this!!!! I have been drinking a lot more water though I am not drinking what I should be yet (it's only day 2) but I will get there. I have got to do this. My health depends on my diet and my diet has to change for good. I have gained more than 125lbs in ...

Day 32- Aman's Farm & Market, an Irondequoit Icon- Farm to table is the best and freshest way for us to be eating. Not only is it healthy it supports local farmers and brings locally grown foods to tables within our community.                                                         One of my favorite markets right here in Irondequoit is Aman's Farm & Market, 2458 East Ridge Road. I like it for many reasons, the history, the atmosphere and the quality of goods they sell. In the spring & summer they have an excellent selection of plants. From hanging baskets to vegetable plants to flowers and shrubs, a little of everything, all at great prices. After our time at home with this pandemic it won't be long until we can look forward to some brightly colored flowers to liven up our landscape. Aman's has some of the most beautiful, large ...

Lake Bluff Road and Fort Des Sables- Once near the site of Fort Des Sables, Lake bluff Road has one of the nicest lake views in Irondequoit.   Established in 1717 as a stockaded French fur trading post for trade with the Seneca Indians, one of the five Iroquois Indian Nations. It was located on the Lake Ontario Shore at the entrance to Irondequoit Bay. The post was built by a Frenchman, Louis Thomas Joncaire, who was an interpreter and negotiator. Joncaire had been captured by the Seneca at age 17 and had lived among them until 1694 when he was released. His understanding of the Iroquois language, culture and customs proved to be a great help in reestablishing the French fur trade after the disastrous wars between 1680 and 1700.  Located on Culver Road east of Lake Bluff Road the site was destroyed by construction of Route 590 Expressway.                                     ...
