Eat. Drink. Live.
Here’s the thing about repetitive shots of G&Ts and roses and Sam swimming. They show how often we enjoyed the swim club this summer. Most every weekend. Lots of weeknights, too. It was relaxing, easy and enjoyable. And she loved […]
One last day off this staycation, spent sunning and swimming. Caprese! Back home, enjoying the summer sky.
On this vacation, an activity in the morning, and the pool in the afternoon. Cheers! Steak with arugula and tomatoes. Sammy and Mommy.
More summer suppers — a beautiful Caprese, grilled zucchini, corn and chicken.
More flowers for the office, and an evening on the patio with The Little Prince. A good Monday.
Another lazy day at the pool, this time complete with a steak dinner and S’Mores.
It just doesn’t get old. And the best summer supper.
A fun Sunday, with a breakfast at Art Cafe, a trip to the farmers market and an afternoon at the pool, where we celebrated Chris’ 50th and played a round of cornhole. We ended with a nightcap on the patio. […]
Actually the first two are not a selfies, but …. those glasses, tho. My new headshot, shot by the incomparable Tania. Heading to the beach with wine and a crossword.
It was one of those serendipitous evening at Oratamin, when everybody decided to pack a picnic — and the gin and tonics — and make an evening of it. Children played, adults laughed, we all ate well. This is summer. […]
A super-fun concert this time around: Crush, a 80s and 90s cover band rocked the house. Everything from Def Leppard to Joan Jett to Bon Jovi. We loved it!
Coffee, breakfast an a little shopping. Art Cafe cap: My daughter in my glasses. At the mall, we pay the Samantha tax via carousel this time. Me, carouselling. Hunna trying on new clothes. Good times.
The last day of cousin fun for summer 2017. We wander Nyack, shopping and ice-cream eating. Girls! Hudson Mercantile: Kiam Records: Sarah! Good times.
Sam was a munchkin her camp’s performance of “The Wizard of Oz.” She practiced her songs (no lines) and her gestures — and was absolutely adorable. Really most sincerely dead? Family portrait! Love.
Cousins at the concert in the park. A Steven Swann extravaganza.
Supper with the family. We brought our signature smoked chicken over. Leigh provided cocktails. \ Sleepover! Sisters.
An afternoon at the pool club. Sunning selfie, Hot dog. Tree sky. G&T and my book. Poolside. Then home for a nightcap.
Happy Anniversary to us! A dinner at Roost. Mussels: Ribs:
After my visit to Christine Cordey Salon!
First, a pot-luck lunch at the club, then an evening of fireworks at the park. Flowers from the farm: Our contribution: a sugar snap pea salad with mint and feta. I am actually reading a book! Wet rat. Down at […]
Chris came to town for a wedding, and we met for a family brunch at the Hudson House. Sondra, Sam, Chris: Shirred eggs. (Delicious!) Chris and Aiya: Family!
Just a nice summer day to kick off a four-day weekend. Blueberries nearly ready! G&T, natch. And a lovely rainbow!
Welp. That’s it for kindergarten! Look at my baby! For comparison’s sake, here’s the first day of school! Lots of fun in the all-purpose room. My big girl! And, after school, a little swim party with some of the classmates! […]
Wednesday morning in the garden. The Oak Leaf Hydrangea is going to give us a show this year for the first time!= So is the mophead near the kitchen window. Blueberries are ripening nicely. Off to school! Editor’s note at […]
Father’s Day at the Farm. The menu: Smoked chicken, charred green beans with orange, watermelon with feta and mint. + Shrimp cocktail to start. Oh, and juleps. As you do. Shrimp LeighLo! Sides: Supper: Father and his granddaughter.
Brunch with my girl. Guess whose breakfast this is? And this? Nyack!
Not a graduation, per se, of kindergarten. But a Moving Up ceremony. Songs were performed. There may have been a tear shed. Sam and Gregory:
A day around Nyack, with the Goosetown Bazaar and a visit from Boo. Good morning, sunshine. We got a volunteer foxglove! Sam at the Goosetown Bazaar. About to do the obstacle course! \ It’s wine o’clock. Or G&T o’clock. Boo […]
Last day of ballet this semester, and it’s Watching Day! Sam and Oona! Nancy Cohen! Go girls, go!
It’s Learn to Ride a Bike Day! Let’s get those pedals on and try it! After learning to ride, a reward! A new (but used) bike!
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.
