Winter Walk: Stonybrook Park
This winter we were able to share this wonderful place with my parents. While my parents were here we had settled in, caught up, eaten many yummy cookies and great meals, and we were ready to walk some of it off. So we took my parents to Stonybrook. Because of our mild December, we were able…
K’s first outing
Our lab-mix puppy K is now a little over four months old. The past few months adjusting to a puppy have been a fun challenge. It was entertaining to watch K discover fall winds, rain, baths. It was especially enjoyable to watch her jump into the neat piles of fall leaves L made with the…

Playing tourist with the Grandparents
It's always fun when family come in from out of town; we love to play tourists and being hosts. The season they come during and their personal interests determine which types of activities and locations we get to share with them. This past week my grandparents (dad's parents) came into town for a visit on…
Wine tasting in Ellicottville
This past Sunday we decided to use one of our saved-up groupons and drive out to Ellicottville for wine tasting. If you remember last August we explored Ellicottville for the first time with one of Luke’s co-workers and his wife. What drew us to this ski-town two hours West of us was their annual taste…
