An Almost Boring Post

Lacey ---ZUMBA instructor:

This is the NON-Boring part.

Lacey says:  "Last Saturday both Tara (who recently  became a Licensed Zuma Instructor) AND Erin came to my class in Bath. Tara led 2 songs on her own :-)" 
(TARA is Renee's daughter and Erin is Cathy's daughter---she is 4th from the left in second row.)

Great to see family having fun together.  Tara is currently studying 
Dance Therapy at Monroe Community College, so this is right up her alley.  Check out Lacey's Zumba page.

My day running errands around the village of BATH, NY.

*Yup, this is the BORING part.

I'm sure many of you have read at least some of Jane Austen's novels.

Jane Austen's Bath:

Jane Austen knew Bath as a thriving spa resort, popular with fashionable society.

In "Northanger Abbey" Jane writes;
'They arrived in Bath. Catherine was all eager delight; - her eyes were here, there, everywhere, as they approached its fine and striking environs, and afterwards drove through those streets which conducted them to the hotel. She was come to be happy, and she felt happy already'.

And if you have read "Persuasion," or seen the movie, you know that Bath was the place for the upper class to gather for cultural events,  parties and meeting the right people.

"Persuasion"---this is a great movie!

It is the 1995, English version.

   

Back to reality---

Yesterday I had many errands to run.  One of them was to the laundromat in Bath to wash my "winter" comforter. 

 Now Bath, NY, is not a resort town in the Finger Lakes.  It has some not-so-great things about it.  

But it has a rockin' LAUNDROMAT!

 Modern, huge washers and dryers---clean facility.

Even the bathroom is clean and neat!

REAR ENTRANCE

This dryer is huge---I could put a lot more in it than my quilt.

Gotta wash that SALT right off'a my car.

NEXT STOP:  Car Wash

I'm not claustrophobic, I'm not claustrophobic . . .

TRACTOR SUPPLY STORE:

This teacher had a $500 donation for the children to plant a small
garden.  The kids were all over the store---so excited!  They had hoes and shovels and gloves and more!  You can see the kid-size, red shovels in the little girl's arms.  Everyone was getting a real kick out of it!

I stopped at the post office, bank, Salvation Army drop off, and finally:

Oh, yes.  Bath just recently got a Dollar Tree, the best of all
the dollar-type stores!

Right as I walk into the store!  Get thee behind me, SUGAR!
I will not say whether or not I purchased any  of these.









COMIC CORNER

This is from TOMMY. 
I know for a fact it is not how he, personally, feels:)

AND. . .

This pretty much sums up Bath:

Have a good day!
