Good morning everyone from cloudy n damp Staten island. The fog horns are blowing this am and I love to hear their eerie song.
I look forward to the Holiday celebration "Colonial Christmas" at The Conference House Park tomorrow on the waters of the Kill Van Cull. We walk about 2 blocks over and voila! There and I love that we can do that.
It's an amazing old fashioned Christmas with hot apple cider and home-made cookies for everyone. Pictures with an old fashioned Santa Claus and free gift for the children....and everyone in costume from the era make it nice. It's all carried on inside and outside.
The botanical garden members sell herbs and items related to them at the holiday sale. I get great lavender pillow sprays and potpourri.
They have artisans there who make red pottery....and handmade items from food to carved Santa walking sticks. I love the hand dipped candles, jams n jellies.
When I tell you guys I am walking this is where I go. Then onto the beach which this house is situated (The Raritan) on across the water from Perth Amboy.Lots of history here and Indian graveyards etc.

A nice day trip via the S.I. Ferry right onto SI Rapid Transit..... a ride the length of S.I. and about a 7 minute walk to the Park from the train station at the end of my block. You
d never know you were in one of the 5 boroughs of NYC way down here.
I call them mini local vacations.LOL
). And these folks want to be healthcare providers? Wow. The administration is just a wee bit concerned. There are days I hate being the gatekeeper. I am going to celebrate by not looking at data all weekend! Unless it is chicken related data. Or cookie related data.
