OLE SAVANNAH...ROUNDOUT LANDING KINGSTON NY

                                                            This find by the Kingston docks

on the Hudson began with fine corn fritters.

A

                                                        And slightly spicy Jambalaya

and fantastic fried green tomatoes ...without the grease.

 Southern hospitality transport to a northern river front. This side trip from the great Quaker gathering was a fun plus..Our walk after lunch brought us to a craft store where we were gleeful to find the lovely owner was a relative to a neighbor in Brooklyn....ON OUR BLOCK!   Another good small world moment.

HALLIGAN'S PUB. STONY POINT. NY

Opus 40 is an art installation  that took 40 years and tons of slate to create...near Woodstock NY.

While we started at a Stony Point Quaker retreat site to celebrate our friend Charlene's birthday, this location was a highlight side trip. We arrived too late for dinner on night one but were rescued by Halligans, a dream diner . Great surprise ...from friendly service to Pierogi to hot turkey platter>

                                                            Thanks for this pop up thanksgiving platter.
