Shore Road Deli Brooklyn New York

        Recently on my trip to New York, I held off getting breakfast and finally decided I didn't want to eat while on the turnpike. Turnpike food is good enough and they do now offer a healthier side, but I craved a great roast beef sandwich. I stopped at this deli once before thinking it was like it always was, and would buy a knish. But on my stop before the most recent I found the deli was sold!
        NO!!!! Yet once inside I notice a totally different look, more spacious, a few little tables to sit and take your time and really very nice people behind the counter. So I ordered a roast beef sandwich since it looked so good and fresh. That was my first trip. The young man behind the counter was fantastic. not only polite but made eye contact. He cared about what I wanted and how I wanted it!
       This time, it did not surprise. He sorta of recognized me, made my roast beef sandwich, on such very fresh bread, added just the right mayo and a little salt. I added a portion of rice pudding, my favorite dessert. Cut in half, wrapped up well, I took off, thankful for this new Deli. I made sure to take a menu with me.  I couldn't wait for my first stop. Opening at a light that roast beef looked as if it was just cooked to perfection.
         I have to tell you I not only was not disappointed, but wished I ordered two! I savored it and ate slowly to really taste each bite. too often we munch down our food and don't know what it tasted like or even remember eating. Finished, and now into my rice pudding. Lordy, what a lunch ! Do your self a favor. If you want a great sandwich, not just okay, passable, good enough, you should please stop in at The Shore Road Deli-its located between 93rd and 94st  the actual address is - 9316 3rd ave. The phone number is-718-748-1065

  Thank you Shore Raod Deli, you made my trip home, so much better. Next visit, I'm bring my cooler :) Thank you also for the polite manner used with customers.

My Whirlpool Washing Machine

       Well another leak, but it isn't my machine just old hoses. I love my Whirlpool washer, and now it's about twenty years old/er.. My repairman is arriving again today to repair it. He buys his materials at Lowes in York. His latest new valve has the first tread all off so he had to go back to the store, on his dime and his time to get a new one. We all know what a plumber would charge, and I am very lucky to have found this guy. Lowes should have to reimburse time and gas.
          About three years ago I needed a garden roto-tilled and  found him. This guy is a hard working man, retired who loves to earn extra. It pays to have a repairman. This guy can do everything at half the cost.
         Well I knew the name Whirlpool from a very young age hearing my parents and neighbors talk about what they had and liked. We were poor but they saved until they had enough for a whirlpool washing machine. We lived in a Brownstone in Brooklyn and had to hang clothes out to dry. But finally no more trips to wash clothes. We had eight kids in my family ! Eight! We took turns carrying big ugly stained bags to the laundromat . Talk about embarrassing? That was embarrassing in every sense of the word and we better wear out worst clothes for fear of something disgusting leaking through.
          So a few years ago I had a plumber here who was a friend of a friend and he told me the cold water hose was leaking, not the washer itself. No wonder my water bills were higher!  So he explained I would have to get a regular plumber to fix the pipe. Well I got my repairmen to redo the cold water pipe. All was okay, and now its the hot water pipe. So day by day I take my time to see if I actually need a new washer, which just isn't affordable right now. I am learning what may cause the leak is having it on the correct setting...possibly which is what my repair guy is suggesting. No longer using the hot water I had the setting on warm wash, so is that why the leak continued? I don't know, I just don't know, but he's working on it now, so I'll let you know, soon.
       Enjoy your whirlpool. By the way I think it's made by Kenmore ( Sears ). Check that out too. You know we pay more for brand names.

Sullivan County Home Sale-BLUE SKY MANOR-just REDUCED

Reduced to 17,000, 550.lot rentAdd caption
Picture doesn't do it justice. I apologize as my camera somehow failed me. While visiting recently an old friend in her home I took a lot of picture that she has on her facebook page. I'd have to get permission to give that out but in the meantime it is listed on Herschel reality, and yet again that shows one picture which is an awful picture, must have been taken on a rainy day.

     So from my perspective this is a great starter home with two bedrooms and one and a half bath. One bathroom is connect ed to the smaller bedroom which has two windows, and that bathroom also has a window, nice for ventilation. This is located at the front of the house, mobile home.
          As you leave that bedroom you walk into a hallway and there are sliding glass doors and a cooking kitchen with a seating bar area and recessed lighting. Immediately in back of that area is a very large dining room. You would be able to have a big dining room set not something small as in mini apartments. Of course next to the dining room is the large living room, enough to have a large sofa and recliner, TV, and  entertainment set. running along the dining room and living is a tip-out, which is like having an extra room, good for an office and recliner which is what this is used for now. It can also be made into a child play area or guest bedroom.
     Leaving the living room, there is a hallway which leads to a full bathroom and master bedroom. There is plenty of closet space and something I almost forgot as you walk down the hall, you'll see what appears to be a double closet in the hall. Open the doors and there is a washer and dryer. To me they look new. Just past that is a back door opening to a sitting deck.
          The entry door which opens into the living room is covered by a large awning, big enough to put a bar b Que table and patio set. Along side the home is a nice size storage shed. The property has a decorative corner fence on each end. Heating is forced oil hot air and there is a window a/c which was plenty cold for me. The lady is asking 18, 800. Build in 1983 this is definitely worth a look for serious consideration with many uses.
             Because it's located in Sullivan county, upstate NY, you know hunting is great !  A nice area to start for a young family and a landlord with his wife who makes sure property owners keep their property in good shape, so you're not moving into what many call a, trashy trailer park, but a mobile home park where people take pride in what they own.
      Take some time along route 209 and decide for yourself as you drive through, Blue Sky Manor and look around. Wurtsboro is a quaint little town.
