We've had better days!

June 17 – Well, it wasn’t the best of days!  After breakfast I had to spend considerable time on the phone.  Not fun as I wasn’t talking to my family or fiends.  Trying to settle changing from Century Link to Spectrum back on April 21!  Had to talk to one of my doctor’s offices.  We didn’t managed to leave until close to 11.

Selkirk/Salmon River LH

The plan was to visit a couple more lighthouses on Lake Ontario.  We took the interstate and where we got off we visited the first lighthouse, Salmon River LH AKA Selkirk LH.  It looks out over the marina in Pulaski, NY.  Of course it was not open and there was a fellow doing some stone repair work on one side.  I asked him if there were 2 lighthouses and he said no, they just changed the name!

Bill wanted to stop at a grocery store to get

Stony Point - see the grill in front!!

a bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup as they have announced they are changing the name on it in the fall to avoid being considered racists.  My feeling on that is if anyone read the reason it was named that was to honor a former slave lady that had done many good things in her life, but no, we can no longer honor her, how sad!  Anyway there were only 3 bottles left so he got one.

We planned to pick up salads from Wendy’s to take with us to the next location, but it our choice was Arby’s or McD’s.  I went in for McD’s but they are doing a limited menu and salad was not on it.  So we headed on our way to Henderson Point to see Stony Point LH, AKA Henderson Point LH.  Not a fun drive.  It’s a long way out there only to fine the lighthouse is privately owned and being lived in and there are no trespassing signs there and on the neighbor’s place.  I did get a couple of pictures and believe me, I have been known to ignore signs but there were too many vehicles around to do it today.  That also drives Bill crazy!  Now the other downer is I should have been able to see out to Galloo Island  and with my new camera get a photo of one of the 2 lighthouses on the islands.  CRAP! 

We drove by a huge marina on the way to and from but there was no town to speak of so no place to get food.  Bill snacked on a bag of peanuts he got at the grocery and I was fine.  I could tell he was not a happy camper after the drive to be let down with no lunch so we didn’t talk on the ride home.  He was happiest to get home to some food.  I had an apple and put the chicken breast I had in the fridge in broth in my toaster oven and slow cooked it for dinner.

Bill read and took a nap and I read a while as well.  Printed a few postcards and downloaded the few photos I took.  Planned our stops for tomorrow and Bill asked me to book the only boat trip available near Boldt Castle in the Thousand Islands region. Hope it’s nice out!

I made chicken quesadillas for dinner.  I had a nice salad and Bill had leftover cabbage.  Nothing good on TV so will read and write our few cards this evening.  Tomorrow should be a bit more exciting!
