Growing up with the Lake Meahagh and Hudson River in my backyard, I’ve heard my father tell stories of how this area once served as the Hudson Valley’s major ice industry. Yesterday we went to the 4th Annual Knickerbocker Ice Festival at Rockland Lake State Park in Rockland County.

As much as I love our famous “day-trips” they are not as frequent during the winter months as I find it more difficult to deal with the colder temps. My poor hands and feet get chilled so fast the older I get LOL!

Okay so for some time now I have been “wondering”what it is that I am supposed to do with my life. I guess you could say I’ve asked myself what it is I want to be when I grow up (now nearly 50 and still searching), what is that “thing” that will both inspire me [...]

We are nearing the end of July with another rainy/stormy day…in fact, scattered storms for the next 5 days bringing us into August. So with June being one of the wetest June’s, July being a mixture of rain and actual “summer” I am already starting to look forward to August with hope!
I am hopeful that [...]
