Rhinebeck, New York

Here are some pictures from spending last weekend at my friend’s farm house in upstate Rhinebeck, New York. The grass fed beef that he made for dinner is probably the best steak I have ever eaten in my entire life. It also didn’t hurt that I had the attic all to myself. Heaven!

I’m still in NYC through Sunday which is why I haven’t been posting. Hope you are all having a great Friday!

    Enjoy the rest of your time on the east coast! Gorgeous fall day. Local, grass-fed beef – there is nothing like it for me.

    Wow, the pictures really show how much work I still have to do to the house!! The only room that’s cute is the kitchen, where we have done the least amount of work. Go figure.

    Next time you come up the exterior will be painted, area rugs throughout, and your attic will be completed.

    Loved having you here, can’t wait for your next trip!!

      thank you marky. my favorite parts of the weekend:
      1) hanging out with david and having him drive me to woodstock.
      2) eating your grass-fed beef steak.
      3) watching cooper limp and poor lulu not get enough action with the ball.
      4) “teaching a robot to love.”
