Three weeks ago Phil and Penny Orland our friends and neighbors from Brea came for a visit. They went to three broadway shows, visited the Statue of Liberty, shopped in NYC and a couple of days I was able to tag along with them to some historic sites. On monday we did George Washingtons encampment in Morristown and on Friday we spent the day in Hyde Park, NY visiting Franklin D. Roosevelts home, summer cottage and Eleanor Roosevelts home. It was an awesome tour and we could have spent two days there. There was so much to see and we just didn't have time to do it all. For December they decorate the homes for Christmas in the time period. There is a Vanderbilt mansion also in Hyde Park that we didn't get to. So when the visitors come in December we are headed off to Hyde park again. I've got to see those Christmas Trees and decorations. Oh, the picture at the Farmers Market, Phil said it was the highlight of his trip. It was a little roadway stand where we had fresh apple cider, cobbler, and home grown apples freshly picked. They picked the prettiest fall week in New Jersey. Since they have been here it has been cloudy and overcast. I'm ready for some California sunshine.

Even with all my complaining about Jersey I LOVE the fall here and the roadside stands are so cool. Looks like they had a good time, probably because you are a ROCKIN hostess:)
