I am ashamed that I have been so busy and would be remiss if I didn't apologize for missing them.<br /><br />This one begins in familiar fashion, where I often drive through rain similar to what you experienced. <br /><br />Really enjoyed the photos of Rick's family and friends. You say you have trouble meeting people, but I always see you smiling and having a good time in the photos. <br /><br />Speaking of photos, those church photos are incredible. I'd have to frame the one. Your camera has really come through for you.<br /><br />How sad about the finches. I've not heard about this before, so it was a shock that pet stores would do that. And it's sad for the finches, too. I assume it's fatal.<br /><br />Pickles and Daisy are amazing. I recently discovered, because I had never noticed before, that cats with white fur near their noses end up with pink noses, while cats with dark fur near their noses end up with dark noses. I actually notice one day while looking over photos of Bleubeard and Squiggles.<br /><br />I had to laugh because a few days ago I was sort of listening to Jeopardy! when I heard the answer to a question on architecture was Edith Wharton. What an amazing coincidence.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-5043435163396313542016-03-29T17:55:38.097-04:002016-03-29T17:55:38.097-04:00You had a wonderful trip.

I think one must go on a road trip with a close friend or lover before deciding how close the relationship will become. Difference come out on such trip. I'm happy that you and Rick have figured out how to get the most out of a trip taken together.<br /><br />This was such a nice post. I loved the photos of the birds, the church, and of course of the people along the way too.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-38461633806329640172016-03-28T15:16:34.948-04:002016-03-28T15:16:34.948-04:00Oh my, I think I may have to look into the kind of...Oh my, I think I may have to look into the kind of camera you have purchased. BEAUTIFUL photos, Jeanie. Love the church, and all the birds. But I have to ask - Geneva, NY? My father's family is from there, and Auburn and Waterloo, where our family plot is. It is beautiful countryside, and we used to visit my grandparents during the summer. My dad used to sail the finger lakes.
