Monday, October 9: Trip to Ellicottville and Griffis Sculpture Park

Well, since I can’t save my blog postings to off-line mode anymore, it got

 erased so I have to start all over again. Today I woke up and it was a very slow getting up process. I had Coffee and delicious steel cut oatmeal 

with pecans and raisins. What was that a Hardy breakfast. Kerry & I Watch the news about Hamas in invading 
Israel and 
Republicans, blaming it on Biden, because he unfroze some assets 

from a Ron for releasing American hostages. The two local broadcasters 

looked really pain and overly made up. I looked up the salaries

 they don’t make all that much, not like people like Hannity or Chris Wallace. Anyway, 

we left here around 2:30 PM and headed out to Ellicotville 

which is a cute little ski town about an hour away from Buffalo. It’s got cute little 

shops, etc. for Taurus. that was nice we walked around and then we  

went to the pumpkin place and it was closed but we got some good scenic vistas. Last 

thing we did if you went to sculpture garden, which is really 

really cool. We walked around and saw the sculpture gardens and I took a bunch of 

video and pictures of it. It was hard to find it’s in the middle 

of the  woods in the middle of nowhere! There are a couple houses there is a nice place to visit, but I certainly

wouldn’t wanna live out in the sticks. It’s Carey said I wouldn’t wanna live somewhere where nobody could hear me scream. I thought that 

was a good remark. We stopped at a  gas station and I got some 

Triscuits and they were good because I was kind of hungry. I wanted to snack 



keep myself going till dinner. I believe we’re gonna be having 

beef on whack which is a buffalo thing. Hopefully it’ll be half decent. I’m a little 

hesitant, but got to try something new right. It’s now almost 8 PM 

 and I was busy editing pictures on the way back. The rain really started to come down

 hard and a big old fat Wei I mean I couldn’t believe how hard the rain 

was falling while Carey was driving. We then stopped at Wegmans and picked

 up some stuff and then and then just got back. Melly had my first

 beef on wig sandwich. It was pretty good actually it’s basically a roast beef sandwich and then you dip it in the dipping sauce and it makes it very moist. I’d rather 

have chicken wings but this wasn’t bad. It’s a very buffalo thing to have a beef on Wick. 

It’s extremely  Native buffalo delicacy so to speak. The rest of the time

 I veg out with those guys and watched rerun of Fraser, which was interesting 

because that show is pretty well dated. If the 90s could be dated 

that would be it. that was nice day to do very little and it was fun to go to this 

park. Tomorrow. I think it’s gonna be a very quiet day maybe go to 

a coffee shop because it’s supposed to even be more rainy and harder

 rain to fall the lake affect rain that the Buffalo is having a disc current

 time. then Wednesday morning, I get up at the crack of dawn and fly out at 6 AM. Well, geez, I totally forgot about on the way back home we saw an abandoned dog in the middle of the street. We pulled over and it kept running away from us and almost got hit. Several times did fortunately eventually ran to the woods. A policeman stopped by, and he was going to check on it. And another driver slowed down as well. That’s very kind of them. Dog looked Lost. It was some kind of hound dog. And neither somebody threw it out of the car or the dog ran away. I’m not sure what happened.

Saturday, February 26: Danny Gets New Home Ukraine 🇺🇦 Invasion

Today’s the day. I got up and prepared that place so Lincoln came over and get the cat equipment out and the cat. I showered and 
had breakfast and put it around the house big time to make sure the cat stuff was ready. We then transported the stuff to the car. And drove
out to the room new home in Wynnewood. Actually it’s in your Cobbs Creek actually I think it’s in Haverford. Anyhow we met the last 

family and your home and it went pretty well I must say we then went over everything they could ever know about the cat.  We finished hanging out and explaining 



about the cat at about 1:45 PM. We got back to Ardmore around 2:00 PM. I did OK but I was caught looking at my 

phone. Overall it went well. That house is immaculate. The guy has a 

whole movie system with really expensive looking speakers a nice outdoor porch. 
the man of the house . They invited us to come over for dinner. That would be fun. It is well behaved and Danny 

seem to be getting adjusted. Ukrainians have held onto Kiev as of today. It’s now 2:21pm. Well it is 3:00 PM & Will be only after walking about 50 minutes. It’s very nice out though it’s only 38°. Yes it’s down

 almost 4 o’clock we’re going to go to Stoneleigh and take a walk. It’s about a 10 minute drive from here. The place closes at five so I only get to walk an hour. It was difficult to leave the house. We decided

 to do something different go to Stoneleigh. It’s a big house and property pretty close to Villanova university. It’s got some impressive plants and trees. One thing that really intrigued both 
of us was there was a group of graves of people in the Stoneleigh family that

 were pretty young some of them is a youngest eight years old and 15 years old. 

 They all died at different times but very strange. It was a nice walk. It looks even 

better when the weathers a little bit warmer but it wasn’t too bad. 

Well we left after 45 minutes and drove back to her place at the Ardmore house.

 Both of us are a little bit hungry item some yogurt. That really

 got me tired. It’s now about 6:00 PM and I think both of us are going to take 

a nap. The yogurt hit my stomach and now I just want sleep and lie down for a minute. I got 

some pretty good pictures of the place. There are some cool looking trees etc. 

I’m gonna stay the night and eat. I hope it goes well with the new people. 

From what I gather the husband wasn’t really into it like the wife and the two 

kids. But let’s hope for the best. I don’t want to go back-and-forth and 



be a drama filled thing. Anyhow, we took a nap and that was really good Cuz 

I needed it. We then decided to watch a little heartland in order takeout from sweet greens they

 have some pretty tasty meals despite it being salads I mean it’s bad some good stuff. 

I tried to get a hold of Wes on the phone while‘s picking up 

my order but alas he was not answering at the time and he put he did acknowledged
 it to call back. This was about the only good time to call really. We can eat in March heartland and then mellow out I’m gonna stay over 
and it’ll be weird not having the cat in the house that’s for sure! Well the dinner for the sweet greens was very good and we’ve watched two episodes of heartland. It  takes place in Alberta 

Canada. So far the Ukrainians have held onto Kiev as of 10:07 PM tonight. This is a good thing but it’s gonna be tough to keep the capital 
considering Russia’s putting a lot of manpower in to take me over Ukraine.
