Our Christmas Tree

Last weekend Brad & I, along with Woody and some friends, drove out to Hudson to cut down a Christmas Tree - it was our second annual brunch at our house then tree cutting experience. As you can see we like the Charlie Brown-esque tree! :)

The Fingerlakes

This is where we stayed, The Black Sheep Inn in Hammondsport, NY on Keuka Lake (one of the Finger Lakes). Only open since March, it was recommended to us by a friend. Note the Octagon shape of the house - the gracious Innkeeper, Debbie said this was a popular style in the mid-1800s. She and her husband Marc (a KSU Interior Design graduate) worked on the house for 6 years to restore it to its original state! We can't wait to go back!

Dano's Heuriger on Seneca, where we ate lunch. In Austria, heurigers are an integral part of Viennese life. It is said that friends gather to enjoy the casual atmosphere, to drink new wine from mugs and to share hearty, satisfying heuriger food served family-style. The chef actually came out and talked to all the tables!
