So we antiqued around Canandaigua. Susan bought a scarf but lost the negotiation. Shopkeeper would not budge, especially when she passed it up but came back just before closing.
Lunch at Eddie O’Brien’s sucked. The food was good but the good looking waitress with the huge..eyes..never came back. And I didn’t jump in the lake.
Dinner was a special treat. Hard to find real good food and we lucked out. Susan chose THAI BY NIGHT. The small board out front said:
“We_Will __We_ Will ..WOK You” guitar riff… Just beer and wine but the best Thai dinner I’ve had in a long time.

Heading to Skytop Pa.
We took back roads from Canandaigua to Watkins Glen. Stopped to Shop. Then back roads through the boonies through Colesville, then Stratton and then Spencer to Owego. Stunning courthouse on the Susquehanna River.

Skytop is a resort with its own zip code – 18357. The Cotter Family vacationed here for years, bought a cottage after the still unexplained demise of the MadMaMare. We drove in and the huge sign said SKYTOP LODGE 90TH ANNIVERSARY. I gave it some thought and here I was 50 years after the Cotters first introduced me to Skytop.
For those that know, we stayed in a cottage. First walk was to the Observatory on a perfect evening. And there was some skinny kid with hair straight off his head driving a mini bike through the flower beds…DeJa Vu, all over again.
The place looks great. Gardens really colorful. Place is also changed. Dinner is by payment and not meal plan. The food in the dining room and the deli (?) is superb!! Every activity costs, but it still by far and away the most relaxing, unpretentious and peaceful place I’ve ever been.

Buck Hill is doing well. The mansion is down and its location is used for a lookout and weenie roasting. And Other Affairs, with the permission of the Community Board.
We walked the lake in the rain. Quiet day…
Tomorrow: Home for Billy
Who is this kid?
Wednesday…
