Greetings bestmickey, PJ, and, of course, CIBabe, and everyone

I had to cut my trip short because my dog (chow/shepherd mix) suffered an injury and I wanted to return to the southern part of NYS and have the vet take a look-see. It appears that he has torn ligaments but will recover. The poor guy is 15 years old and he slipped on some wet outdoor stairs falling back down the stairs. I sought out a vet at Long Lake but there was none and the closest was 22 miles away and not in the office for a couple of days. So, I thought it best to make the 5 hour trip back home. After some pain relievers and some arthritis medicine he is doing much better today. An examination showed no fractures or serious injury. He's always been such a mellow-fellow that I've referred to him as "the Will Rogers of the canine world" - he's never met another dog he didn't like!

bestmickey, I have returned temporarily to NYS after having lived in Colorado for 18 years and Arizona for 4. The Adirondacks are, indeed, fantastic and it's too bad that many people across the US believe that ALL of New York State is New York City. Couldn't be further from the truth as you know. Upstate NY is absolutely beautiful.

I very much appreciate your words of congratulations on the sale of my home. And, PJ, you are more than correct about getting it sold in this market especially when you consider that the house is in the Phoenix area. Didn't get anywhere near the price I wanted but still more than originally purchased for and enough to get to The Villages. The house is in an active adult community and was listed for close to two years...ouch! Due to some minor circumstances I won't be buying in TV for about 6 months but will be heading for a visit sometime in mid-September. Stay well.
