What I love Wednesday- Brockport, The Canal, and Coffemakers!


It's Wednesday!!! I've decided to do a new column every Wednesday.
It's called What I love Wednesdays. One this day I'm gonna list
some of the things I am in love with this week. It may be a new thing,
it may be an old treasure, it may be a place, person or time but it
will always be something that I am excited about on this Wednesday!



My first new love is our new town! We moved to Brockport,NY
last Wednesday. Coach recently got a job as the DC at
this school. I was nervous about this opportunity, the
whole Cornell U experience left us scarred...

Well needless to say I'm loving it! The town is about 30 miles
from Rochester. It's on the Erie Canal. It's a little town that has lots
of modern amenitites (Lowe's, Walmart, Grocery stores) and also has
a very nicely preserved downtown section.

Now for the really cool part!!!!


Half the town is on one side of the canal and half the town
is on the other side of the canal...Which gives you these really
cool bridges that go up when a ship needs to cross the canal.

We where told that about twice a week a ship comes through the canal
but it hasn't happened that we have seen it yet. For me this is such
a truly amazing thing. The history of this country is based on
the Erie Canal....its so cool to look at it and say that someone
100 years ago was using this Canal to transport goods!

It's such a cool thing to know that you are in a town that
has such an amazing thing in the center of it...

My final love is my new coffee maker! Let me start by saying that
I am not a coffee drinker. I don't have to have a pot before I
can function in the morning. I do love the random cup of
french vanilla coffee, and I am a serious tea drinker.

I do however love the smell of coffee, my kitchen is decorated
in coffee stuff and I think that the most amazing places are
little coffee shops...

So anyway back to the coffeemaker! I got a Keurig Platnium!
These are suppose to be the big daddy coffee machines.
I got one that looks just like the picture. Plugged it in
and made a cup of Early Grey tea, plus some cups of
cocoa for the kids!!! I have to admit I'm in LOVE with
the machine.




I love that I can make all kinds of different drinks one
at a time. I don't have to make whole pots and a cup of
coffee/tea brews in about 40 seconds! This model has
different cup size settings so you can brew to taste, as
well as water temp settings.

This machine will surely get some use in our house!!!

Well that does it from What I love Wednesday!!! Check back
next Wednesday for something new!!!
