What a wonderful and relaxing vacation I had this week and I truly needed it. Sunday 7/31 after a great visit with my nephew, his wife to be and Liam (their 5 month old son); my mom and I headed west to Cazenovia, NY. First, we made a stop at Turning Stone Casino. We had to get our $10 free play before it expired later that night. We then continued to my grandmother’s house. We arrived a little after 9 pm and had to unload the car. We made our sleeping arrangements, visited for a bit and then went to bed a little after 11pm.
Monday was my birthday, so my mom, aunt *B* and cousin *J* went on a girls day out trip. It was a day filled with shopping, lunch, pedicures/manicures and more shopping. The rest of the week was full of relaxation and visiting other family members. There was a very beautiful sunset just over the hills of Shady Knolls Farm. What a peaceful way to end the day. !!!!
Tuesday was quiet and we spent most of the day just hanging around the house. Later in the afternoon we did some grocery shopping. On Wednesday we had a surprise visit from moms cousin *J*, her husband, daughter and two granddaughters. They pulled in to grandmas driveway just before 11am and we all visited for about an hour. We had a late lunch with my aunt *A* at her house. It was a very nice visit and lunch; homemade gourmet pizzas.
Since we were not in a rush to get home, we did a little back tracking and took Rte. 20 home. What a beautiful ride, and wow how Rte 20 has changed over the years. It’s been a very long time, since I took this route to Cazenovia. Mom and I were reminiscing about all the different landmarks that once stood along route 20. Some of the little towns now look like ghost towns. Sad really!!!!!
Now it's time to head back to work tomorrow!! I am not looking forward to it. I already got a call today from our Per Diem in distress. No Schedule, No Charts, No Information on any Patients. Ughh!!!. What the heck happened!!
