The Hudson Connection

It’s funny to realize how much we are a part of each other’s lives ~ sometimes without even knowing it. Do you have a house you always wonder about when you pass by? Who built it, who lives there, whether or not you’d be friends? Only one way to find out.

They lured me in with the ferns… & I highly suggest you surrender to the call.

Happy -iversary to when I discovered Fellow Mountain Cafe has the very best on the earth-planet ~ I BELIEVE this one was blueberry cardamom pear; but you can bet that whatever they have on the menu is going to blow your mind. Speaking of which, checking out Cameron Melville on that June ‘22 cover (the first issue Jon B. Woodin & I fully produced), I can’t believe it’s two years & a full redesign later. So happy to welcome Bob & Trudette Crimi to May ‘24!
