Cousins, being cousins. Click through to see another video inside the post.
Our final night in Amagnsett. It was too rainy to spend magic hour at the beach, so we had a little dance party USA with the girls while making dinner. More of those photos to come from Sarah and Laurie, […]
Mae, Sam and Jane, ready to head to the beach. Cuties!
As is typical of our vacations, we started out with rain. But we eeked out a nice few hours on the beach, and were able to spend a nice evening on our ocean-view deck. Here are a few photos from […]
An early supper at the ranch: takeout from Cassie’s and the last of this lettuce crop from Sour Cherry Farm. (More is on the way!) The cousins all sat together. Cuties. Laurie! No photos of Sondra, Leigh or Greg […]
A few leftover ribs, a watermelon salad and Laurie’s perfect rendition of Stell’as potato salad and we had the makings for supper at the club. We let the kids swim til they were blue, and spread a tablecloth over the […]
Mae and Jane try to read stories to Sam before bed. Try being the operative word here. Click through to see two other videos.
A field trip to the city to see some farm animals? As incongruous as that sounds, it was a fun trip! Sarah and her girls against the backdrop of Central Park South: The seals at feeding time! Love this photo! […]
Goat feeding and other fun frolicking for your YouTubing pleasure.
Greg took Sam for a walk down to see the cool cars in the main street lot downtown Nyack. I don’t have many photos of that, but here’s a few of the kids and super-cool Delorean:
Sarah and the girls arrived at Westchester Airport at 3 p.m. By 6:30, we were all down at Memorial Park, picnic table assembled, Bambi blanket spread and beach chairs upright. Steven Swann played and the evening was an absolute blast. […]
The last concert in the park, and also Sarah’s and the girls’ last night in New York. We made the most of it, though. What a wonderful summer tradition this has become!
Let’s see: Somewhat near the Cloisters? Delicious food? Kid-friendly? Bingo: Dinosaur BBQ. That is my lovely combo platter with pulled pork, brisket and ribs along with salt potatoes and an iceberg wedge. Man oh man was that delicious. Sam had […]
I’ve been trying to visit the Cloisters since, oh, probably the mid-1990s. Finally. We made it. Very happy we did, especially after seeing the gardens. And the unicorns. The Cloisters is a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Here’s […]
Family meal! We made chicken with apricots and peanut sauce and took it over to the Ranch for a Saturday supper. Good stuff, right Greg? Watermelon margies! What?
The whole family — Grammy & Leighlo, Wilson, Sarah, all the cousins and us — enjoyed a summer meal at the farm. Les Dorkages:
Our day at the beach. Our evening at the beach. We don’t do much, but it sure is fun. [wowslider id=”28″]
Lobster rolls and oysters at the Clam Bar. Yes, summer is here.
We’re back in Amagansett for a week of beach life. A little beach time during the day. A little dinner for the kids. Then babysitter comes to the unit and we head to the beach for magic hour. Cheers!
We went to see our new neighbor and friend Mario the Magician perform in the city, and to Mae’s great amusement, she was chosen as a helper during the show. Well, criss-cross, applesauce! (Sorry about the blur, but it was […]
The three cousins were so darn adorable watching cartoons on the porch I couldn’t help but snap a ton of photos. Here’s a looksee: And OK… a couple of videos, too. So cute.
Piermont celebrated French Independence Day by closing down the street and serving food, selling trinkets and hiring a band. Because nothing says Bastille Day like a a Dead Cover band. There was also, separately, a carnival in Flywheel Park, hosted […]
A couple of pizzas, a little chicken parm… how can you go wrong? Especially with dining companions such as these:
Somehow, while Greg was hauling dirt out of our driveway, he also found time to make Sour Cherry Farm’s signature dish, Hickory Smoked Chicken. He also put together a salad, following my instructions via text. And wouldn’t you know it, […]
Sarah and the girls have arrived. We came home from the airport and had supper at the farm. Hot dogs and “torn” for them; leftover lobster rolls for us, eaten later.
Christmas 2011 came to a close with a pork tenderloin dinner and a delicious chocolate dessert from Didier Dumas. Chris was truly in love.
I must have walked past the main branch of the New York Public Library a hundred times, but I’ve never been inside. Today, that all changed. We took in the sites, including those famous lions, a Gutenberg Bible that was […]
Yes, we’re back. We thought it would be a fun spot to take Sarah and Chris and the kids. Indeed, it was! We got a table by the ice rink and sat under the heat lamps, enjoying burgers and soups. […]
With just two children opening gifts,the living room at the Ranch got just as trashed as if all seven adults and three children were participating. The joy of giving! And afterwards, we had a reprise of what is sure to […]
For a little holiday diversion, we took the kids to see the butterfly exhibit and the dinosaurs at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. Oh how Mae hoped a butterfly would land on her hand. Alas. Everyone, however, […]
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.
