  1. It is the Grand Cascade Lodge in Hamburg, NJ. Beautiful location, lots of activities there as well but oh very pricey. Of course we didn't get to use of it other than the wedding activities which were all in great spots. @HBE4 tagging you as just saw you asked the same.
  2. As most of you heard we had a family wedding this weekend, DHs sisters son, back in NJ. Oh my what an event. Beautiful venue in the mountains, activities galore and only a tad over 200 guests. Will add a few pics below. Unfortunately the weekend was one of emotional highs and lows as his younger sister, not the one who's son was getting married, passed away on Friday morning. Needless to say put a cloud over the wedding for the few of us that knew, kept it quiet for bride and groom's sake until yesterday. Think we are all still in shock, she went to bed Thursday night and didn't wake up Friday, a young 59 with no known health issues. Keep those you love close, nobody knows what tomorrow brings. Now for the fun stuff The venue The ceremony, sun was setting behind them Jim with his mother The late night after party venue. Got my green toes in there One of the professional photos
  3. @dani negreanu belated happy birthday 🎂🎉🥂🎁 Been away from this thread for a few days and boy have you all been chatty. See a few other birthdays as well. Best wishes to all. Will add another post with our crazy, emotional weekend.
  4. This is what happened to us a few years back. Wasn't supposed to be a total eclipse but close to by Charleston. We are about 2 hours north so decided to stay home and see what we could. Right as it all started the clouds rolled in. Know some who traveled to Charleston where they had a little better luck. Said they wouldn't do it again. Our PA house isn't too far from the path so would have thought going but here now so not coming back quite that quick.
  5. Oh my, wasn't sure how to react to your post. Have a friend who went through similar issue with bandages recently. Sensitive skin bandaid helped some. Guess a few days at hi,e in the house are in order.
  6. I was shocked they didn't even nibble on it. Not to be mean but hoping that Irish Spring didn't sit well with them. Haven't seen any mice or new droppings since we've been here.
  7. Our view this morning, not from a cruise ship but know how those here love their sunrises and sunsets. All the snow melted away, thankfully. Been busy doing spring cleaning to get the house ready for the summer. Don't remember who mentioned using Irish Spring shavings to keep the mice away but will tell you it didn't work here. Left a partial bar, in the box, in one of the kitchen cabinet. The mice loved it, finished it all, left the box. Was probably the worst year for mice. We had work done on our septic in the fall and the community did a lot of road work, dirt/stone road, so hoping that disturbed them which is why we had more. Fortunately don't get too many when it's warmer just hope not cleaning too early but taking advantage of our trip north for the wedding and getting it done. Emptied and wiped down all the kitchen cabinets, so almost back to how this lovely thread started, just cabinets instead of fridge although that did get a wipe down too.
  8. Yes that is Clinton, we were there 26 years over by Round Valley and 5 years in High Bridge before that. Great place to live and raise kids, not at all what most think NJ is like.
  9. Looks like a beautiful day to begin a cruise. To all our gang onboard today Bon Voyage. Wish we were with you, seriously thought about it when it was first mentioned, but our nephew is getting married Saturday in NJ and that took priority. Headed up north this weekend to our PA house to get some thungs done befire the wedding. Not the weather I was looking for. Our view this morning A picture someone had posted from the town in NJ where we used to live Yes it's pretty but I am so done with snow. It is supposed to warm up in the next few days, sure hoping it does, ready to go back south.
  10. Thank you so much for all the contributions you made to this thread. Enjoy every moment of the next part of your adventure. Hoping someone else will step up and keep us all up on the current happenings on Serenade. I am sure it's a big job but definitely appreciated by many here.
