Recently a writer’s newsletter I subscribe to mentioned
that they discovered that some of their books were available for free digital download
on some questionable websites. They did not authorize the books to be offered
for free. Seriously, what author wants to give their book away for free? Both
the publisher and author want to make money on the book, why would they give it
away for free? Now occasionally authors do offer a free digital book, but it’s
almost always as an incentive to buy another book from them or take a course or
seminar they are offering.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Naturally, I was curious to see if my latest book, Backroads
and Byways of Upstate New York was available on any of these nefarious
websites. I discovered at least a half dozen sites offering a “free” download
of the book. Concerned, I contacted my publisher and here’s what my contact had
to say:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i>The book isn’t
truly available there; these sites are designed to fool people and install
malicious software on their computers. These site creators are merely
pretending to have to book files.</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
So there you have it people, don’t be fooled, you can’t
get a digital copy of my book, or any book for that matter, for free,
especially if it’s not being offered directly from the author or publisher. Only
buy digital downloads from reputable booksellers, for example amazon.com or Barnes
and Noble.<o:p></o:p></div>

One of the more interesting places to visit when in Poughkeepsie and the Hudson Valley area is the Walkway over the Hudson. Below is a link to my article about it that appeared in yesterday's Buffalo News travel section.<br />

Our next stop was the Reinstein Woods Nature center in Cheektowaga, which I had never been to before. I was impressed with the grounds. There are five short walking trails, we just walked along one.

Today we visited not one, but two art galleries. My husband and I are members at the Burchfield Penney and had planned to go see the exhibit about John Brent, the first African American architect in Buffalo, since it sounded interesting. When we asked our daughter, the future art teacher, if she wanted to join us, she asked if we could also go to the Albright Knox, since she had to go there to do research for one of her classes. <br />
<br />
So we saw the Monet exhibit and more at Albright Knox, then headed over to the Burchfield Penney to see the John Brent exhibit, along with the other exhibits. The Albright Knox was especially crowded, but there were also quite a few at Burchfield Penney. The Monet exhibit runs until March 20, the Brent exhibit until March 27<br />

We had been there a few times before but they have expanded their exhibits over the last few years, so there was a lot we didn't see in the past. In addition, during this past summer I had donated an item that had been in my family and wanted to see how it looked on display.<br />

Last summer, when I was getting ready to finalize the sale of my parents home, I had been debating on what to do with this old weaving loom in the corner of the basement which had been there as long as I could remember. My Uncle Adolf, a religious brother, had built it long before he became a brother and had given it to my dad when he joined the brotherhood. Since it was a dusty old thing, I was originally just going to leave it with the house, but that didn't feel right. Since my uncle lived in North Tonawanda, I contacted the North Tonawanda History Museum and they were happy to take it.<br />
<br />
The loom was partly set up, although Donna, the director of the museum, said she was waiting for someone who knows more about looms to get it fully functional. Still, it was nice seeing my uncle's loom on display.<br />
<br />
One could easily spend hours browsing through this museum, as there are hundreds of thousands of items that tell the story of the history of North Tonawanda and the people who lived there. Even if you have no connection to North Tonawanda, it's still a fascinating place to visit<br />

Afterwards, we had lunch at Uncorked Café, 72A Webster Street. It's fairly new, as the last time I was here there was another little café in the same space. The food was good and the servings enormous. I had a turkey club sandwich and brought half of it home and my daughter had it for lunch.<br />
<br />
I was sad to see that the Hodge Podge gift shop next door closed, however, another gift shop opened in its place: Michele's Motif, which has women's clothing, accessories, and jewelry. They even offer beading and wire wrapping jewelry classes.<br />

It also looked like a new restaurant was going to be opening on Webster Street. Canal Club 62 Tap and Eatery, at 62 Webster Street. It looked nice from what I could see through the windows.Western New York Explorer's Guidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00812768505884194924noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257632961179000158.post-89777882226029101462016-02-15T21:02:00.001-05:002016-02-15T21:02:02.404-05:00Day at Canalside Buffalo<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Spent a nice day at Canalside Buffalo with my husband and two youngest children. We started out with lunch at 716, which was very good. Then we went to the ice rink. My husband and I rented ice bikes, while my daughter and son skated. It was my son's first time on skates and he did well one he got the hang of it.<br />
<br />
For dinner we went to the new Pizza Plant and then afterwards we walked over to look at the silos lit up.<br />
