{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

A Visit to Jones' Farm . . .

A couple of weeks ago, we met my mom for lunch and a visit to one of our favorite places in Cornwall, NY. Jones' farm is owned by a wonderful family that always seems so happy to see you when you come by for a visit. Grandma Doris is the matriarch and can always be found behind the counter serving cookies and fudge and to-die-for carrot cake.



There are chickens that like to follow you around.



And there are roosters with attitudes. They walk around the little barn all day without a care in the world. Except for maybe wondering when someone is going to toss them their next snack!!



There's an adorable miniature pony and what I think is a cross between a donkey and a miniature pony.



Mugging for the camera!!



Inside the shop is a place where children can see bees busy at work making honey. Megan pointed them out while her Daddy told her what they were doing.



Of course, you can't leave there without drooling over one of their homemade pies or cookies.





Megan sampled a St. Patrick's Day cookie with green sprinkles.



More, please!!!



After a visit to the gift shop and bidding farewell to Grandma Doris we wandered back outside for a glimpse of the very large pig that they have but she didn't feel like coming out of the barn so we had to settle for a couple of ducks. Megan didn't mind. She loved them all.




We're looking forward to visiting again real soon!!

A Day Trip . . .

Earlier this week, we ventured to Cornwall, NY to visit my mom, aka Nana. It was a chilly but beautiful day. We had lunch at what is very quickly becoming one of our new favorite places to eat on the waterfront in Newburgh, NY.



Newburgh is part of the Hudson Valley that has fallen by the wayside throughout the years. In its' prime, it must have been gorgeous. There are tons of once beautiful Victorian homes that now sit with their windows boarded up. There is such potential for Newburgh and business people are starting to tap into it.



Recently, part of the waterfront in Newburgh has been turned into a fantastic place to shop and dine. Above is the front door to Billy Joe's Ribworks which is where we had lunch. The inside is decorated with lots of wood, exposed pipes and nostalgia.







Their mascot "Billy Joe."






I think if Megan had to pick her favorite part of our lunch with Nana it would definitely be running up and down the "ramp" leading into the restaurant.



Pure joy!!!!!!!
