International Celtic Festival Hunter Mt.

International Celtic Festival

Hunter Mountain hosts the International Celtic Festival featuring fantastic entertainment from the Emerald Isles, plus world-class Irish-American bands and dancers. Dozens of authentic Irish vendors, traditional foods, and plenty of beverages. Sunday features a Bagpipe Competition, followed by the spectacular Mass March as hundreds of pipers and drummers march down the mountain in unison. After the Mass March, the entire procession will play as one at the base of the mountain – it’s a spine-tingling sight that is not to be missed. For more information visit their website.

Newports Castle Hill Inn

The Lawn at Castle Hill Inn

is the perfect classic New England al fresco dining

experience.  The rolling Lawn really is a timeless Newport

icon.  The little rock beach below the Inn has been named the Grace Kelly Beach.  

Over the summer of 1956, Grace Kelly retreated to the solace of Castle Hill between takes of High Society, an American musical-comedy set in Newport. The film also starred Hollywood greats Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, who vie for Kelly’s socialite character amidst the glamour of the oceanfront mansions. When not relaxing in her Harbor House at Castle Hill, Kelly would sneak down the rocky landscape to the water’s edge.  
The staff ended up building her a staircase to make it a little

easier for her to climb up and down.  David came with me on our day trip on Friday.  

It was an "embarrassment of riches" as David would say.  

another great visit with the family before heading back to NYC

A gift from Randy

For almost 20 years now the Frog & Swan

owned by Randy Grobe has been at the bottom of 

our hill in Tryon N.C.  Randy is like an uncle

to the Wolfe Gang.  Who can count how many times he found 

Spencer outside of his antique shop in diapers.  

When I was visiting home a few weeks ago I was on the

hunt for a great ring I could have fun with.  I pulled this one out

when mom and I were talking to Randy.  He took a look at it then said

"It's yours."  Such kind generosity. It's priceless to me. 

When I wear it i'll always think of you Randy.

Thank you.

Joy, Jamie and Little Lewie

Joy one of my dearest most beloved 

friends in the world had a beautiful little baby boy.

I finally was able to have a little visit with all of them.

Her husband Jamie (a musician) is just wonderful and 

Lewie is just so precious.  

Rea's Farmhouse

Ok, so i'm not even going to mention how long

Reagan and I have known one another.  But she and her

husband have been redecorating her Grandfathers old farmhouse 

and it is coming along so beautifully.  From the gorgeous view

of chocolate drop Mountain to her Great-Grandfathers 200 year old dining 

room table.  It's a house full of love and timeless antiques.

My little Supermen

I got the chance to watch my adorable little nephews 

for a few hours in Hendersonville N.C. while

mommy went to the doctors 

and the grocery store...by herself! 

I just love these two little supermen.
