I took another visit to Short and Stout Tea this weekend because I won their weekly give away! How exciting I had been sharing their specials for weeks on facebook and my efforts paid off :). Last time I got a simple green tea and a delicious savory pastry. This […]

I made a stop at Grant’s Cottage in Wilton and had a walk about the grounds. I started in the gift shop/museum. I looked at the artifacts and read some quotes about Ulysses S. Grant’s last days. A ‘death mask’ was on display, which I thought to be very odd […]
I took a hike in Skidmore’s North Woods in Saratoga Springs and enjoyed some beautiful nature and surprising art! If you walk the perimeter of the woods I would guess you get about 2 miles including some peaceful ups and downs. Not too many people on the trails, but I saw […]
Good Morning Café in Ballston Spa makes a mean breakfast. They have a few outside tables and we were lucky to grab one on a beautiful morning. Jeff got their bacon lovers wrap and I took a big ole bite… yum. Other than the basic deliciousness of bacon egg and […]
I had a great time traversing Cranberry Lake Preserve recently in North White Plains. The preserve had many different trails to choose from, and we did a perimeter walk to try and see what all of them were about. Cranberry Lake was beautiful and had many water lilies in it. […]
After a beautiful beach day at my favorite spot Robert Moses I had dinner with my mom at the Captree Cove Restaurant in Babylon. I don’t know what is better here, the view or the food. I love looking out into the bay at the boats coming to and fro […]
I took a dazzling sunset stroll at Vischer Ferry Nature and Historic Preserve yesterday. We picked it up at the end of Sugar Hill road in Vischer Ferry and parked in the power plant overlook parking lot. On our strip we saw a few waterfalls by the power plant (really […]
I have been meaning to stop in Bake For You for quite some time, and I always covet the pictures of their desserts on facebook. I finally had some free time and saw something I was really interested in, a peach puff pastry! I got to the shop around 11am […]
I had a nice evening hike at Indian Kill preserve in Glenville the other day. It was a quiet evening, we ran in to only one other person along the way. We took the red trail all the way out and back so that we could see all three waterfalls. […]
My first experience with Croatian cuisine was very positive at Dubrovnik in New Rochelle. The place is very popular and only bar seats were available, but we were happy to get in and try it out. Bread and water were supplied and we waited a short time for our meal. […]
Lasdon Park is a very unique place located in Katonah which I enjoyed exploring. It is a relatively large park with many well maintained trails to hike upon. By the main parking lot there are lovely flowers and fountains and benches to sit and take it all in. The area […]
Lots of running around will make a girl hungry. I had the pleasure of filling my belly at Little Crepe Street in Mt. Kisco. This joint was decorated adorably, had remarkably quick and friendly service, and great food! It is small inside, but we got a nice little window on […]
I visited the Katonah Museum of Art, a small but interesting place in Katonah. The exhibit was on Iceland and they included two galleries and a video. The galleries included art work of the flora in the land and topography maps. There was a sculpture made from collected junk from […]
I had a lovely time exploring and hiking about Teatown Lake Reservation in Ossining. I walked about their education center and looked at the local animals including turtles, snakes, and walking sticks. I viewed wildflower island completely blanketed with wildflowers. I hiked around the lake and couldn’t count all the water […]
I celebrated my birthday recently, and there’s no one I like to do it better with than my Mom! We had all sorts of adventures around Westchester and Long Island. My annual birthday lunch is at Surf’s Out in Kismet, Long Island. We park at Robert Moses State Park and walk […]
