Now and then I post about places that I frequent. This one is one of my absolute all time favorites. I have been going to this bakery since 1992 and has been in the family for over 50 years. This place has created so many great memories for me just because of having their baked goods over the years. Places like this you can’t duplicate, especially in today’s times.

This is a little bakery called Friendly Bake Shop and is nestled in the heart of the Village of Frankfort located in upstate New York’s Mohawk Valley. This is their 4th generation of spreading love through their baked goods.

They truly show their love for what they do through their products. The recipes haven’t changed one bit. No preservatives or additives, just pure homemade awesome tasting donuts and bread.

The donuts literally melt in your mouth and the bread is indescribable. All you need is a pat of butter on a slice of that wholesome goodness and you are in heaven.

If you are ever driving this way through the Mohawk Valley, this place is definitely worth trying. You won’t regret it.

This isn’t what I imagined

This isn’t what I imagined at this stage of my life. I’m not saying I’m unhappy with my current non-relationship status (which is single) but I guess growing up Catholic and being surrounded by friends who traditionally got married at a young age, like myself, that life was going to play out that you’d be married forever and grow old together no matter what and that was. it.

Well, it didn’t end up that way. It very well could but who knows. Right now it’s slim to none and slim just left the building lol.

Anyway, this is for all the single people out there who are feeling hopeless, frustrated, confused, and sometimes relieved. We are single. Trying to date. Dating going nowhere. Starting dating and it turned into a dead end. Then I think to myself, crap, would I really want to go back to the way it was? Hell no. Is there someone out there who I am compatible with? Who the freak knows.

It is what it is and in the mean time you have to do what makes you happy.

Sooooo lol I started camping with my sister and bro-in-law a few years ago. This year I decided to get my own site. I thought my kids were coming with me but they bailed. Yup. That’s a teenager for ya.

That’s okay though. I want to give it a go setting up my site by myself and see how it goes. My sister will only be one site over so if I do run into any issues I can give them a holler. If this works out like I am hoping it does, I’ll go solo next time.

We are heading to Bowman Lake again. Love it. Beautiful campsites. Not too crowded and not far from home. About an hour and a half.

Oh and I am brining Jet man.

A couple of points I am trying to make in post is that there is an ass for every seat. Don’t give up but don’t stop living your life in the process.

I set up the tent in my living room to give it a test run and it took me literally 3 minutes. It’s an Ozark Trail Instant Cabin 6 person tent. It says that it takes 60 seconds to set up but being I am brand spanking new at this it took me 3 minutes which isn’t terrible. Packing it up, not so much. Ha. Good thing I wasn’t having a cocktail or it probably would have been on fire.

Jet Man.
