Stories from someone just fumbling through
If you've ever taken the train from the Hudson Valley to New York City you've seen Bannerman Island and its gorgeous Scottish style castle out your window. It's a strange sight to see a castle in the middle of the Hudson River but it's there, I promise you, at least for the time being since… Continue reading Welcome to Bannerman Island…Zee Plane! Zee Plane!
During my last visit home, my mother and I visited the beautiful town of Skaneateles. It was the only day off I had in many weeks and it was looking like that was going to be my last one for a while, so we decided to make the most of it. It turned out to… Continue reading My trip to Skaneateles
