Dinner at the Arlington House
Last night I drove 20 minutes east of the Hudson to have dinner at the Arlington House in West Sand Lake.

I got outside a bit, visited with my neighbors, and attended to some tasks involving seasonal wardrobe changes for myself and the boys. All in all a productive and relaxing couple of days. Lark Street … Continue reading Lark Street on a sunny day
