The Finger Lake area of NY state is very nice G. Friends of my parents had a place just outside of Penn Yan. They were older and owned a vinyard. Tom worked the vinyard while Edna and Bill (the married couple) occupied their time doing other things. Bill was handicapped wheelchair bound with very bad arthritis but worked in his wood shop. Edna stayed busy
writing cards. Birthdays anniversaries weddings graduations it did not matter. If you were on Aunt Ednas list for a card at a particlar time you got it. They even had an outhouse nearby where you could go inside and read the walls covered with post cards. Bill had his mint 1963 Ford Galaxy convertable parked in the barn. Aunt Edna Uncle Bill and Tom. Tom passed on and Dill and Edna eventually found the vinyard too much to deal with. They had no children. Bill eventually passed away too. So Edna moved back to New Jersey
to be with her sister. Edna kept writing her cards though.
Last one I received was right after a ski trip to Big Sky
Montana in 1993. Beautiful people I only met briefly but who touched me deeply.
Just recently I was able to travel down Route 17 which runs along one of the lakes. A very pretty area still.
