Snow on Halloween

That's one of the adjustments I've had to make regarding life in western NY. There's a great possibility that snow could come earlier than either I'd like and/or am used to.

I saw these scenes earlier today. These were taken on the property of my friend, Becky Ward. These were taken this morning (10-31-08).

It actually snowed several days ago there. But, because of the lake effect, Silver Creek did not get any. She got 3 inches.

Enjoy!

Golfing with Tom and Travis

I took the day off yesterday and went golfing with 2 fellow LCMS pastors. We played a version of golf called "best ball". If that's an unfamiliar term, it's where everybody hits, and then you play from not where your ball lands, but from the best shot. Lots of fun! We all had a terrific time.

It was great to be out in the fall foliage. Nobody kept score. It was just a chance to hang out and hit the links. These pics were taken at Concord Crest Golf Course near Springville, NY. Enjoy the pics!

A Little Late, Perhaps?

I took these 2 pictures after I got home yesterday afternoon. They depict the Ice Cream Man in Silver Creek, NY.

I love it! It's freakin' October and the Ice Cream Man is still making the rounds! I thought that was really cool (no pun intended). I bought a frozen delight called a "Hyperstripe". It's a Popsicle that has blue raspberry, white lemon, and red cherry swirled together on a stick.
