Pictures & Photos
Here is a collection of various pictures. Some are friends, some are family, some are things. Come back for thrilling updates. Who knows, you may find yourself here any day now (that is if you send me your picture and give me permission to publish it). Sit back and relax and listen to the music of Abby Newton playing a tune called Catskill Mountain Air/Wagon Wheel Notch.
On the left is my son Tim (his College Graduation proof). On the right is my high school graduation photo. Is this not eerie?
Tim graduated  cum laude in MAY of 2001 from Manhattan College where he  majoried in Business. In addition to belonging to 3 separate honor societies, Tim was president of Delta Mu Delta (the Business National Honor Society), Vice President of the Economics Club and Treasurer of the Manhattan College radio station. He was also a part time DJ (D.J. Tim Martell) in keeping with the family tradition.

Tim's Graduation
October 2002 On the newly paved Vermilyea road. Rain, Schnoz and our good friends Pat and Tom ( Better known as "TC ") Smith paid us a surprise visit. We only wish we could see more of them.
In May 2003 we traveled to Pennsylvania to visit Rain's sister Pam and daughter Coby. Pam now lives in a beautiful stone cottage in the woods built in the 1700's. While we were there we rediscovered the Amish culture and especially shoofly pies. We are continuing to explore the beauty and simplicity of the "Plain People" through reading and video.
August 2004 and  Patricia and TC came for another visit. We always are happy to see them but the wait is way too long. Next year we will meet in Watkins Glen and spend some more time together.
Stan and Cathanne paid their annual at the end of August 2004 with Maria, Halley and Gabriella (not pictured). We were happy to see them but Schnoz missed her friend Rocket who has been under the weather of late with a touch of Glaucoma and Diabetis. Keep you chin up Rocket!!!

Title:    I've got a bad feeling about this!!!
We never made it to Watkins Glen. Instead, In June of 2005 we ventured away from our peaceful home in the catskills to Westfield NY to visit  Patricia and TC to celebrate Pat's 60th birthday and Jesse's (their son) 30th birthday. Verna, Jerry Gia, Schnoz and us stayed in a cottage on Lake Erie for a week.
When we came home we found a newly remodled kitchen waiting for us. I gave my idea to our friend Bob Lidsky and he designed what you see here. Check out his website by clicking his name.
After a long and difficult post 9/11search for a job, Tim was officially licensed as a stockbroker.

Jump to 2006....Tim has decided to give up the stockbroker thing and go with his true love.....music!!! Another professional musician in the family who has been added to my
music page.....DJ Tim Martell

Summer 2006
Pam and Steve pulled their long, long trailer into our driveway and "camped out" in luxurious splendor for the July 4th weekend and beyond. Lets hope they don't move too far away because we would really miss them.
End of July and once again Maria & Halley and Stan & Cathanne paid their annual visit. Here the ladies are taking a stroll up Heatherland Lane.
