At Seamon Park in Saugerties, N.Y. there are beautiful Chrysanthemums 
growing and every October we celebrate by having our Mum Bowl, the JV Football
Team play their hearts out!  At halftime we have a special show which the cheerleaders
perform for our entertainment.  After their performance we proudly watch the exhilarating
event leading to the crowning of our new Mum Queen for the current year.
Later that evening there is a Mum Ball at our High School for the 
Juniors and Seniors I do believe *smiles* The next day is Saugerties' Mum parade!
So if you Google Seamon Park in Saugerties, N.Y. you can see more pictures and get
more information on these fun events.  If you are in the city and want to spend a weekend away drive North,  We are only 100 miles from Manhattan off of exit 20 on the N.Y.S. Thruway.

Natalie, my favorite great granddaughter!




Emily, my favorite granddaughter!



The Lord has blessed us with these two darlings!

My brother Anthony and our good friend Fran.



My grandson Matthew Ryan was 26 yesterday, we celebrated his Birthday today, I still see him as a little guy who I could never get enough of.  Matty made dinner for all of us at his Mothers house, chicken parm and penne pasta done to perfection. Thank you for a wonderful dinner Matty!

Hey everyone, our Town High School Football team The Sawyers are doing fantastic, they are UNDEFEATED as of this writing and I am very proud to write about it as these young guys have worked so hard to become the winners that they are. My grandson Christian has been playing since 7th grade, he is now in 11th and he is # 88 just in case you go to one of the games you will see him there. You may even see me! *Smiles*

Dedicated to my husband Kurt W. Schaal


 My true love is sleeping so far from my home yet in the distance I 
feel him caressing my flesh and my bone.



If I could fly in his arms I would be,  as he whispers my name on 
his breath. He would tangle me up like a vine on a tree, I will love 
him in life and in death.



Many young years have we spent in the past, glistening love 
was our tale. We held on so tight till we entered the light, and our 
future was set on a sail.

The mystery of us is not hard to understand, for our path was a 
glorious plan. This is a tale of love strong and true, the love of 
a woman and man.




 We are lovers of beauty and our beauty can be seen in the wind of 
the whispering willow. My breath can be felt on his succulent lips as we lie face to face on my pillow.



 We were lovers before, we are loves evermore, we'll be lovers through time and again.  
I love you my love with a heart strong and true,  we are lovers and you are my friend.
