Eat. Drink. Live.
The Nyack Park Conservancy has take on running the summer concert series. And we are grateful. Nice night. Sam is thrilled to be back at the concerts.
Amos and Boris was one of my favorite books from childhood. I was so pleased when, a few Thanksgivings ago, our friend Suzanne gave it to Sam. Now, she reads it herself.
Happy Father’s Day, Hunna! And to LeighLo! Steak, asparagus and salad. Hello Sammy! The fathers. My mother! Happy Fathers day to all the dads out there.

Bedtime with this cutie. Tonight, she reads Madeline.
We started the weekend with a performance by Sam at church. The Bishop was in town, so we had to put on a show! Blurry Sam: After church, a game of chess. And a tour of the garden. The new […]
Pal-ing around at Home Depot. At the Goosetown Bazaar: A random selfie. G&T poolside. A nice Saturday.
After ballet watching day, Ashely invited the group for a pizza picnic at the Nyack Boat Club. What beautiful views! Kids with pizza. Some fun photos from inside the Boat Club. A fun outing.
It’s watching day at ballet! The close of another season.
A typical June, I’d say. Rose wine, a margarita, a beach towel and a blue-dress selfie. ndo
A few random photos from our spring Sunday. Church! Time to swap out the winter and summer linens. And we plant a new pear tree! The variety is Moonglow. And we turn on our new wine lights at cocktail […]
Some random Oratamin weekend photos. Low-carb G&T: Rose in a can. Decorating for the pre-school open house: Good times.
Morning and evening on the porch. Our sweet girl. And, to end the day, a little tonic-making!
Field Day at Upper Nyack Elementary! Leap frog! Hi Sam! Hula hoops!
Ava held her birthday party at a fun spot in New City. The girls could dress up and get glammed up, with hair, nails and face paint. There was plenty of dancing, too! Fun stuff. Happy birthday Ava!
I signed up to chaperone the class trip to the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk. Lucky me! My charges: Meercats! Lots of fish: Jellyfish! Crazy lunch: Herding cats: Good times.
Supper with the folks on a Sunday night. Still chilly enough for a Manhattan. (Note yellow Tory Burch shoes found at the consignment shop.) Leigh with a drink.
First Saturday of the summer. Rose by the pool and a big salad for dinner. Someone brought his pet tortoise. Salad and chicken.
As Episcopalians, we don’t really do First Communion. Sam has been taking the sacrament since she could eat. But this year, she learned what it all meant. And after that, we had a little show! Procession: Hi Sam! Megan and […]
Lunch, a concert at St. Bart’s, and wine with Boo. A fun birthday for me in Manhattan. At Morrell’s Wine Bar, Bandol and a duo of tartares: And a trio of sliders (no bun): I stumbled upon a mass at […]
Sunday at the Ranch! Carb-free appies: Leigh and Sondra. Leigh with a drink. Sammy! Mom made our famous oven-roasted chicken thighs. Hi Sam! Good times.
A lovely evening with the folks, where we sipped Manhattans and dined on Roast Pork with Pears.
Just a Saturday around the house, with an “experiment” and some chores to get the porch open. Mopping! And a nice little lunch of chicken salad.
On the way home to New York now. A few photos, first, from the lobby at the Radisson at the Mall of America. Home we go.
Driving around after the funeral a bit. The old home place. The quarry. The sign from the bar, which hangs on Bob and Ann’s shed. Gathering the family at Ann and Bob’s.
Mark picks up Sam and me at the airport, and we are heading straight to the visiting hours at the funeral hone. On our way in, we always see the Jolly Green Giant in Le Sueur. We’re a little early, […]
Sad news: Doris has died. She was in the hospital just a few short days, even played Bingo the Wednesday before. I’ll craft a post with some photos of her — plus Greg’s heartwarming eulogy — soon, but for now, […]
He is risen! Happy Easter everyone. A basket waiting for Sam on the table. At church with the family: Herself, by the altar. With Loa and Arlo! Les dorkages: Sam and Loa. Back at the house, an Easter egg […]
No natural dye this year. Not enough time. Paas to the rescue.
Friday before Irene’s seder. We do some errands, some cooking, some play, too. Jane and I took the kids to Billy Beez. My first time there. Then off to the dentist! Errand-running. And later, prep work for the seder. Asparagus […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
