Boy, did I sleep well last night! I think it's because I had already decided that buying a new car was not a necessity.  RJ did a little more investigating and came up with the same conclusion. So now that is behind us and we are on to the next thing.  He'll be back to working at the Inn staining and painting and I'll be doing the marketing.  I still have a newsletter to finish and a brochure to write. We are running all these specials and hope that guests will take advantage of all these discounted rates.
     Today we went to Buffalo to visit Auntie Arlene and my sister. Auntie Arlene, RJ and I had a great time visiting and enjoyed Ted's Hot Dogs for dinner. How can anyone go to Buffalo and not have a Ted's hot dog?  I love their hot chili sauce with ketchup, mustard, onion, relish, and a pickle. Great stuff! Auntie Arlene found some old pictures of me as a kid. In one, I'm dressed in my communion dress and I'm kneeling in prayer. Very angelic! I acutally look cute. The other one was of me as a baby. I couldn't have been more than 10-12 months sitting on a blanket with a big smile across my face. It made me think of happy times as a child growing up in Buffalo on Bailey Avenue. 
     While I was visiting with Auntie Arlene, she started to tell stories from long ago when she was growing up. I've started to record them so they will not be lost. She told a story about a porter that worked at the tavern for my grandfather. He retired from his work on January 1, 1949 before he went to work for my grandfather.He was an immigrant from Poland and spoke very little English, but my grandfather offered him room and board for work around the bar. As a Porter, he would take care of moving cases of beer, alcohol, kegs of beer, or cans of food to their proper stops when deliveries were made.  He paid for driving lessons for my aunt because she was afraid to drive. Thank you, George.
