rhinebeck ny: Speechless Sunday- Cottage in the Woods - 12/26/10 09:42 PM
A winter are two ago my husband and I were travelingl down this country road in Rhinebeck NY. The freshly fallen snow looked so beautiful and then we happened upon this cottage; and of course I had to pull over to take some shots, I took several so did my husband. The cottage looked like something straight out of a story book. For some reason when I look at it, all I can think of of is little Red Riding Hood on her way to grandma's house.
Now that I have it framed like this I can see what a great postcard … (24 comments)

rhinebeck ny: What we saw at the Dutchess County Fair in Rhinebeck - 08/20/08 11:30 PM
Today was the second day of the Dutchess County Fair. A friend and I decided to spend the afternoon checking it out. We could not have asked for better weather, and since it was midweek we did not expect it to be so crowded but it was.
My friend and I wondered why it was so crowded and two reasons came to mind.
With the present economic condition many could not afford to take a vacation and the fair provided an inexpensive way of getting some entertainment in the form of rides, talent show, musical acts, animal shows and competition, exhibitions etc. … (10 comments)

It is not a large restaurant - there is seating for about 49 people inside. The menu offers something for everyone . I especially liked the curries and the use of ginger and coconut milk. There are lunch specials served with soup … (35 comments)
