1st Weekend of May

The weatherman keeps us guessing. Last time when I check with them, Saturday, May 3rd, suppose to be sunny. Well, now it’s PM Shower. I think if everyone comes in the morning when the weather holds up, we should still have a lot of fun. What the hack, just a little rain should not deter the die-hard visitors. I love the weatherman’s work. They don’t have their own information created by them and yet, they report what the weather stations give them. They can make mistakes and still get paid well. What a job. Try that anywhere else and see how long the job will last.

So Saturday we will be at Long Valley, NJ off 80/206 and we will try to get a glimpse at the sheep-shearing event. I have never seen that because all my life I have been living in large metropolis. There is no sheep in those large cities. If you see anything like it, they are in the grocery store. If time allows, we will also visit the cheese shop. At one point, I was thinking of making cheese but could not get myself up to do it. Maybe someday I will give it a try. I understand Valley Shepherd has a cheese making class. That might be an incentive to get started.

Sunday we will be at the Olde Lafayette Village at the northwest intersection of Rt. 15 and Rt. 94 in NJ. Unfortunately, there is still rain in the forecast. But it does not sound as bad because it is in the early morning and by 10am, it should clear away. For those of you think that my forecast is any more accurate than the weatherman, forget about it. I am using the same information they are using. So don’t blame me if the forecast is wrong. After all, I don't even get paid for telling this. This is a very nice little village with a lot of small shops. I am sure you will enjoy the day there.

Well, hope to see you at either place and let’s not worry about the rain after all. It’s much better than sit at home doing nothing. (I know, I know, everyone is busy. It that ever going to change?) So why not give yourself and your family a break and come out to mingle.
