.... or not, really.

Ron took me on a long ride yesterday, a yearly custom, up to
NW New Jersey. Always a fun ride. My idea of a day. Drive drive
drive, blah blah blah ... now we're on the back roads. Well, I
don't know if we're going to have a good leaf season this year.
Still, even if all the trees were still green, it's my idea of a
day if I'm being driven around to see the sights.

So, looking at all this property no normal person could afford, I
glanced at the clock. Hmmmm, noon. You know what's on my mind.

Hey, what's that place? A *gorgeous* stone building. Long Valley
Pub and Brewery! Get OUT. SCreeeeech. (just kidding, we drove
past it and turned around) Terrific place inside and out. I asked
the bartender, was this really a barn at some point? Yup. It was
just gorgeous, all that stonework. I kidded with the guy, yeah,
you feel a draft, just go grab some grout and fill in the hole.

At any rate, I had fish n chips, he brought me malt vinegar with it,
thanks! Well, let me tell you, it came with a huge amount of fish
and the chips were enormous waffle fries. I was in heaven.

Almost forgot, a section of the bar jutted out and there were two
guys playing backgammon and could sit across from each other. Just
a really cool place. And they had pinot grigio, hello.

More driving around beautiful countryside and home james it was.
My idea of a great day.

I saw this thing just this week, take a picture of it on a color
copier and photographic paper, then you can frame it. If only I had
a more current version of Windows to hook up my printer, I would do
that in a heartbeat. I was within arm's reach of a gorgeous yellow
tree, it was so very pretty. Leaf stealer. (laugh)

The leaves in central Colorado were gorgeous this year,
a combination of a rainy summer and late frost and no
strong winds. The ash trees, cottonwoods, and honey locusts
turned a gorgeous gold, and and many of the usually brown oaks
were a beautiful wine color. Maples were fiery red or gold.
Most of these often lost their leaves in storms before they
turned color in previous years.

The past few cold nights and usual winds ushering in the frequent
weather fronts this week have stripped many of the trees, but it
has been one of the prettiest autumns in our 20 years here.

Remember the old days when you pressed leaves between sheets of wzxed paper
and ironed them?

Sounds like you had a fun excursion. I'd kill (almost) for some decent fish
& chips.

Oh, it was a fun day except for the car dragging thing (laughing).

Yeah, I have a picture made of some dried pressed flowers. They are
completely faded and they are not even in a sunny room. That's why
I found the color copier thing to be such an interesting idea.

I've never tried it but an alternative may be to lay them out on a
flatbed color scanner.

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

Sounds great, Nancy. Hereabouts, we don't get much by way of fish and
chips. Hell, even the sushi is usually chicken fried and served with
a cream gravy. Pinot grigio... wasn't he the little mouse on the Ed
Sullivan Show?

But you can get some decent barbecue here and there on a day out in
the hinterlands.

(laugh) That's Topo Gigio? Don't worry, we no gots chili here,
either.

We did get three good meals out of the fish and chips. and the fish,
it wasn't all breading, it was large chunks of fish. Was a fun day,
all in all.

Steve, I don't think I answered this, thank you very much for the
hint. If I ever get my scanner hooked up, I will do it.
