Honoring lacrosse

I remember seeing these in game use. My dear wife Karen and I thought it was a good time to revisit The Preserve, one of our favorite Central New York restaurants, for a relaxing weekday lunch. While we chatted at our high top, sipped our drinks and eagerly awaited our food, I spotted a wood…

Babka squared

They tasted as good as they looked. My dear wife Karen thought this was a good time of year to bake us fresh babka. She decided we’d like two varieties. Cheese and chocolate, and the wonderful aromas filled our house. Wow, they tasted way, way better than store bought.

Great goats

I get the point

End of the line right out there. It felt good to see the end of the winding walking trail at the way west end of our lake park. I’ll return to venture more when it’s warm, I thought with a slight April shiver.
