Stone Barns Blue Hill Harvest Fest. 2013

My Favorite Fall Festival in the world.

They had fabulous blue grass and French Ragtime music

on every corner of the Farm.  We made homemade butter, my own

flower crown, tasted champagne, and had the best

hot dog...ever!  You just cant go wrong here with your family.

A very fun filled day.

red mango

Lorena just opened her new

store in New Canon CT, were so happy

for her.  They hired me to take the photos

of the new Red Mango store. I collaged them here

just to make it easier. 

I would love to move to this beautiful town.

65 Years

My Grandmother Peggy met my Grandfather Frank

when she was only 17 years old.  She was walking her brother

home from school in Queens when she went by a stoop full

of good looking Tennis players when one spoke to her, My

Grandfather.  He played Tennis for Saint Johns University

and my Grandma was a model.  She posed for children's books

when she was younger and then did dresses and swim wear.

The war started and my Grandmother lied about her age and

they got married.  They were so beautiful.  Shortly after

their 50th Wedding Anniversary my Grandfather passes away.

My Grandmother is one of my hero's, a woman so humble and dear.

They made 8 beautiful children together and now my Grandmother

has 85 Great and Grand children.

A Visit with Harri and Steven

A few weekends ago Tony and I drove up

to Washingtonville NY to visit my Aunt Penny's

good Friend Harri and her husband Steve.

It's a full running show barn where they like to relax on the

weekends when their not living and working like crazy in the city.

I found my favorite Horse, his name is Prince because he is just

that. He kind of runs the joint and walks around like a very large 17 hand dog.

Harri made spectacular Ribs for Tony and me and the walk through

the pear orchard was divine.  I cant wait to go back up and ride.

The mountain view from the beautiful colonial home makes me think

of home. It was such a delightful day.
