Beautiful America

Once again I am astounded at the beauty of America! Today we headed north out of Ossining, bidding a fond, "See you soon," to Katie whom I have known since my first night at Barry University. My first night at the "honors house" I found Katie, Patty, Karla, Ellen, Claire, Barbara, Joanie… all lovely women and we have grown up together. We lost Patty and Joanie and we pay tribute to their beauty and their love of life and love of our God our Creator who welcomed them home too early in our eyes. So after leaving Ossining, we drove north through the "valley" left by a long gone glacier along the Hudson river on the Taconic Parkway and cut east at Hillsdale, ate a snack at a real diner with one counter waitress who also worked the cash register. I did not ask, but I think her name is Flo. I found a Revolutionary War monument dedicated to the men who died from Hillsdale. Then on through the Berkshires. Great Barrington, Adams, Pittsfield. So America! The going was slow, so by 2pm, I was begging for a nap, and here we are at Brattleboro on the Connecticut River. We found a Marina with a restaurant with tables on the marina, facing west… we might catch a sunset over the water. God bless America! Love Sue
