2011
I was still working at advantage sales and marketing at this time
January 7th or 8th we went out with the Mingles gang (Norm, Brian, Frank, Erin, Jessica, Laura, Reno, Marc, and Jess) to the Pizza Shop, then bowling at Shaker Bowl on Shaker Rd in East Longmeadow.
I can't remember exactly when I first went to the Pizza Shop on Shaker Rd. in East Longmeadow or when I first tasted their Buffalo chicken pizza, but I love it, and they also have these twice fried or double fried Buffalo wings, they're extra crispy and they're absolutely delicious. Thinking about this is making me hungry. lol
I absolutely loved these events, as you can see in this crummy picture, we were being pretty goofy, laying on the floor and pushing the bowling balls. I have no idea whose idea it was to hold our feet in the air, nothing about what we're doing makes any sense to me. lol
I don't know if we were supposed to be wheelbarrows or what, but it was pretty funny. lol
While bowling it had started to snow, so there was an inch or two on the roads by the time we were getting back to her apartment. Lucky for me, she was driving that night. lol
l never realized that the side street that Laura took was a death trap in this weather. She lived on Gold St, and I've taken Fiske Ave. every single time I've gone to visit Paul, it's usually safe, but when it snows, Fiske turns into a giant Hot Wheels ramp and as soon as we pulled onto it, Laura's car started to accelerate down the hill and there was nothing she could do about it.
Thankfully this wasn't some high speed incident, but it was still unnerving.
I told her- turn right, turn right, and thankfully we made the turn instead of going over the ledge at the end of the street or hitting the tree next to Paul's car, but she wasn't able to regain control, we just avoided one disaster and encountered another. Her car swerved into the rear-end of a jeep on the right side of the road and that jeep was pushed into the garage it was parked in front it.
I had knee surgery in July and then while I was healing we rented a cabin at Fern Lake across the lake from my aunts and that's when I found that Barnard signed and took it home my brother and sister came up my mother came and left 'cause her boyfriends mother died agnes. That entire vacation I tried to row the boat while we fished, It made my back feel so much better. I don’t know why I don’t have a picture, but this place was awesome. It was an across the lake and further than my aunt‘s cabin, So we had a view of white faced mountain. I also brought the telescope that Laura bought me, but there were not any good viewing conditionI was very disappointed. Usually, the sky up there it’s like the clearest you’ve ever seen.
I feel like I was lucky to make it back from that trip. One of the rear tires on my car was out of alignment in the tire was worn down to the Wire. Also, while we are driving to the camp, I learned that you do not leave 5 gallon buckets laying inside of a boat while you’re towing it, The wind current caught one bucket and it flew like 70 feet into the air and off to the side of the road and I was going too fast and didn’t stop and grab it. Thankfully, it didn’t hit any other cars, but it’s not a very bright thing to do.
While at Fern Lake, we found some driftwood and dragged that across the lake back to the camp. The boat look like it was struggling to stay afloat lol We found it in the area near a beach towards the east of Fern Lake, Right near where we are staying. The area that this Driftwood was in, I remember almost catching a bass when I was younger, I imagined it was a huge largemouth bass. I was using a jitterbug at the time and I was fishing with my dad and I thought for sure this thing was a monster, But he went on and on telling me oh no, it was probably small. Ever since then, I’ve always loved using jitterbugs and they always remind me moment fishing with my dad.
We drove over to my aunt’s old property while we were there in her camp was torn down, but her old sign was still on the tree out front. If it wasn’t for Laura wanting to rent a cabin there that I wouldn’t have this today. I hung the old Daredevil fishing lure there because all the old timers swore by this and said that pickerel loved them. As an adult I have had zero luck using these and they're just for decoration but every time I look at them I'm reminded of all those older people in my family that I used to go visit in New York. I guess it helps with all these people were positive influences in my life
2011 Agnes Soucy died 7-15 born 7-22-1928 married to Donat Soucy mother to Robert Soucy, grandmother to robert and eric soucy
After one of the surgeries I had this year Laura wanted to give blood at it blood drive and I felt fantastic after that I don't know what bloodletting does to me but it made my system feel better.
I started losing races there's a video of that
October 1 or 2nd I won my last race against anyone I competed with, and I did it by a kind of cheating. My knee had been bothering me for a year or two, and that entire race My brother and I, we kind of ran by the side-by-side. At the end of the race, he took off ahead of me and I’d really didn’t think I had anything in me, but then a certain song came on my Little Sony Shuffle I think it was and man did I start to feel pumped up. I waited for my brother to turn around to look to see how far back I was And as soon as he turned around and saw that I was a far enough away that he felt confident he was gonna win, I burst forward with everything I had and I ended up beating him by like a few inches. He caught onto what I was doing before we reached the finish line, but it was too late at that point. lol Just cause I’m injured doesn’t mean I’m going to give up, especially if you give me a chance.
