ROAD TRIPPING IN UPSTATE NEW YOLK

Once again, Marilyn and Minerva stayed home while Eunice and I took Ethel Louise and Mildred to upstate New Yolk.  Our first stop was at Fiddlehead Farm in Rhinebeck.  We met some of the cutest animals.  Melody (Mel), the owner was so welcoming as were the animals.

One of the sheep loves to eat flowers.  

We had a great conversation with one of the alpacas.

 


Eunice spoke to the turkey and chickens who told her how much they loved Mel and the being at the farm.  

Here are a group of alpacas, llamas, and sheep.  

Lunch was next as we made our way to Schultzville General Store and Cafe where we met owners Kameron and Kyle.  

We shared a soda to start. 

Ethel Louise and Mildred checked out a chicken salad sandwich but did not eat it for fear that it might have come from a distant relative.  

 After spending some time around the area and going to Red Hook Inn to check in, we had dinner at a place called Foster's Coach House and Tavern.  Eunice enjoyed a glass of beer and talked with our waiter, Frank.  

The chicken wings were quite tempting but we did not indulge.  I don't know who keeps putting this kinda food in front of us!

After a good night's sleep, we went into the dining room. They serve a really nice breakfast at Red Hook Inn.  We had fruit and later, saw a box of baby chicks.   Ethel Louise and Mildred got close to them. We told them that they can't take them home but perhaps Pat, the owner, will allow them to adopt one from afar. 

We were then off to a craft place but were too busy talking with a human baby to make anything.

Oliver Kiva Chocolates was just down the block.  We met Oliver who offered a piece of this delicious chocolate.

Next hotel was the Holiday Inn located in Mt. Kisco.

We later had dinner there.  

The next day, we went to a place called Caramoor  Center for Music and Performance, where we had tea and took a tour of the Rosen House.  We met some of the volunteers.

Our last place was another craft store in Scarsdale called Fun Craft.  Here is what we created.

Time to go back home.

UZBEK FOOD AT UMA'S

Eunice and I took Mildred and Ethel Louise to a restaurant in an area called Rockaway Beach in Queens.  It's called Uma's.  Uma is the Executive Chef and the recipes are from some foreign country called Uzbekistan.  Whatever.  We just wanted to taste the food and meet everyone.

We met Conrad, Uma's husband and co-owner, some people eating there.

Mildred and Ethel Louise had some soda before their meal
