Bike ride on the Henry Hudson Trail, first stop was Off The Hook Restaurant & Bar for a quick Yuengling. On the way back home stopped at Water Witch for a coffee. Great local jam, lots of blues and a great rendition of the Stones Dead FLowers.

We DID move!

We finally moved from the house in Meeker , we stayed there wishing we had something larger for almost 6 years. Although we put a lot into it by adding outbuildings and recently built a barn/shop, it has always not quite met our needs somehow. The land was hilly,...
