The Pilafs headed to the Southtowns recently to enjoy all that Main Street in East Aurora has to offer. We began by searching for a few unique, you-can-only-find-it-at-Vidler’s gifts, and although JT could not find his Natural Ice lip balm and Dra could not find the perfect Dorothy coffee mug, we were both pleased withContinue reading “Both Classy and Comfortable in East Aurora”

Honkin’, Singin’ & Snoozin’
The Pilafs + daughter enjoyed a nice ride out to the Medina area over the weekend. JT was determined to get some “birding” in and hit up an Irish bar, so Dra grabbed her camera and they all flew out the door (like how I did that?) Iroquois National Refuge – Basom, NY Our firstContinue reading “Honkin’, Singin’ & Snoozin’”
Cheers for Chandler Street – Buffalo

Our daughter joined us and did well at toleratingContinue reading “Grateful for Jerry, Bourbon and BBQ- Buffalo”
The Big Year – Kinda – Hilton, NY
The Pilafs spent a freezing night in and stumbled upon the movie “The Big Year.” What a fun movie! Of course, after watching, JT thought we should start counting the birds we see on our adventures. We have quite a goal…like 50 would be a success! For you real bird watchers out there, feel freeContinue reading “The Big Year – Kinda – Hilton, NY”
The Quest for a Wine Glass Near Keuka Lake
A few months ago, JT broke one of his favorite wineglasses. I’m not sure why it was one of his favorites; maybe it has a memory attached to it? But he’s been obsessed with replacing it ever since. So, we headed off to Penn Yan. But first, we needed to take a minor detour. AsContinue reading “The Quest for a Wine Glass Near Keuka Lake”
