Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. I can't imagine ever growing tired of waking up to the smell of roasting turkey and linen napkins being pressed. The cranberry sauce with diced orange peel, the mashed potatoes with gravy made rich by drippings and the lemon meringue pie that marked the course between turkey dinner … Continue reading Thanks(for)giving

Albany Muni aka Capital Hills*
We've (that would be myself, Yas, Cassidy and Iris) made the transition from the Normanskill to the public golf course for dog walking purposes. I love the golf course, but I enjoy it most when it is blanketed by a foot of snow and I've got my cross-country skis on. That's right - not a … Continue reading Albany Muni aka Capital Hills*
Veteran’s breakfast @Victor’s

With my oldest girlfriends living in Orange County, and me here in Albany, we have many years experience meeting in the middle. After … Continue reading Le Canard Enchaine – Kingston
Check Mate
I don't really play chess, I'm more of a backgammon girl, but I was pondering relationships and friendships during a blissfully quiet car ride recently. Tom & I were talking about some old friends and recent events that have caused some pretty major rifts in the friendship we all share. I was considering how adults … Continue reading Check Mate
