Sailing on the Hudson
in september the company took us for a delightful late afternoon sail on the hudson,
aboard the adirondack schooner II. it was a blustery day, but the sail was lovely.
the boat came stocked with delicious charcuterie from dean & deluca, and of course
- in true mra form - a full bar & wait staff.

The Shawangunks
on saturday after thanksgiving, we woke up and decided to leave town.
at about noon, we booked a zipcar for 1pm.
we had an hour to find somewhere to go. luckily, poppy was coming
along, which narrowed our destinations to dog friendly lodging.
about 45 minutes of searching in, we found bernetta's place, in
wallkill, ny, which is along the shawangunk ridge.
wallkill, ny, which is along the shawangunk ridge.
and 2 hours later we were there. cozy, super clean and warm, bernetta's was great.
we had dinner at a nearby german restaurant (for $26.. total),
sat by a lovely fire and read the paper, went on a walk to the lake,
had a lunch of ploughman's stew and did some antique shopping in new paltz, and
bought a christmas tree at a nearby apple orchard.
when we came home on sunday, there wasn't a spot of traffic.
all in all, a lovely, charming little jaunt.

Thanksgiving by Candle (and Bridge) Light
we basically forced ourselves upon aaron for thanksgiving, and with good reason.
he is an amazing host.
i think gurl spent 2 fulls days preparing the apartment,
the lighting, the feast, for thursday. and it showed.
the food was delicious, each bottle of wine was better than the last,

the food was delicious, each bottle of wine was better than the last,
and his beautiful idea for lighting
-- nothing but the manhattan bridge lights in his window, and about a million candles --
made it extra memorable and unique.

i especially loved that he threw our beach blankets from the hamptons
(freshly laundered of course) on the table as table cloths.
one day aaron and i will sell this good life at a premium.
