The Would in Highland, New York

Early Sunday morning, and sitting in the restaurant at The Would, it is not open right now, but cool and dark, very quiet, the only sound is the AC in the background .... nice "quiet time" to catch up on email and Facebook.

Nice drive up, made it exactly when TomTom said we would. I was lost, but she said, TURN RIGHT and the TURN LEFT ................. YOU ARE AT YOUR DESTINATION. Amazing.

Brad and Bernie came up on Friday, sat on the front porch of The Would had a lovely evening chatting, Deb, Lisa, Brad, Bernie, Marilyn ...... beautiful evening, great time.

Brad and Bernie took us for a late night snack.

Had a great day with Brad and Bernie, went through Hyde Park, the home of FDR, took the tour ...... Met Sara Roosevelt, the mother of FDR, who is now a ghost
and lives at the mansion. She came back with us, spent the evening, but is gone this morning ...... had a lot of laughs with her, even though she did not have a great sense of humor. We had a delightful meal, prepared by the Chef, at the Would, visited all evening with friends ....... great, memorable evening.

This is the first we had met Brad's Bernie, and she is a delight, she was never a stranger, fit like a glove, Brad done good....................

Not sure about the events of today, already have been served a bagel/egg and bacon sandwich with coffee by Lisa .... I want to take her home with us ... she is a Doll of the first degree.

Not sure how long we will stay, but getting antsy .... anxious to head for our little apartment in Newark ...... security ..... I guess.

Caleb, our dog, fit right in with the dogs here, he too is having a great time ...

Have not discussed politics, religion, the economy or the state of the world .... just pleasant conversation and good times ...... I wish that for all who read this ...
