Hello all,
I have just gotten time to get on my PC.... Baby sitting my four DGSs. There mother had a dentist appt. I figure I got the better end of the deal. I am not fond of the dentist.
Brer_Papa ,
The train ride was fun...... but it was not well planned by the historical soc. that put it on. There was alot of hurry up and wait. They were suppose to leave at 8 am. 500-600 people crammed into a small depot... waiting for all the speeches to be over, we didnt get on the train until 9 am and then didnt end up leaving the station until 10 am. There was a really nice surprise at courtland NY. they had a very nice free chicken bar-b-Q all set up for the people on the train when it pulled into the station. It was very good and beat the old hotdogs I was going to buy for my DGSs, DH and myself. It made us leave that station late so we were really behind now... along the trip we saw amazing colors and beautiful rivers. At one time we saw a deer swimming across the river between Cortland and Marithon NY.
The boys just ate it all up(there first train ride). They felt like they were stars, because at every crossroad there would be a bunch of people that had come to see the steamtrain go by. All waving and they thought they were waving just at them. So they are waving and callin"HI...HI" They had a blast.
They over booked the dinning car so there was a big problem there and We had along wait to eat dinner, I didnt care myself , but the boys got a little hungry. The food was really good though.
To put this all in perspective..... I can drive from Binghamton to Syrcuse in 1 1/2 hrs. We left the Bing. station at 10 am and we were suppose to make two stops on the way to Syracuse, turn around and get back (to Bing.)at 6 pm that evening. We were eating in the dinning car at 630PM and didnt get back to Bing. until 9PM. So as I said it was a very long day. But for being only four and five the boys were real troupers.
All in all a day to remember.
Yesterday I spent the day with my DGDs from my other son. They helped me decorate for halloween. I am now offically ready. according to them.

Now I must go and buy some wood shavings, so my horses can poop all through it and I can clean it all up day after tomarrow and start again.
Have a great day everyone....
