Ramblings Sunday Sept 24 St James Church

Sorry if I sound like a broken record but it is true that each day is wondrous.

Started Sunday at the 10:00 service at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Hyde Park. The Roosevelt family were members and FDR served as Senior Warden.

Rev. Chuck Kramer..so welcoming to me..had once served in Morgsnton,NC.  Really inspiring vocalist.

 

 

 After church I had a nice chat with the Rev. and a young woman who is a history professor at Bard College. I hope to attend each Sunday. Very welcoming.  Felt right at home.

Next I visited the church cemetery where several Roosevelt family members are buried. James and Rebecca Roosevelt (James first wife) and Sara Roosevelt (James 2d wife) and mother of FDR. Several of their 6 children are buried there including. Anna, John, FDR Junior.

Then lunch at great cafe called Cranberry.

Then real estate shopping. 😊

Off To Hyde Park Railroad Depot. Saw Amtrak train roll by. This route was used  by Abraham Lincoln on his way to his Inaugration and also his funeral train.

Also used by FDR, George VI.

Dinsmore Golf Course. I did not play, but maybe later.

Afternoon walk down FOR driveway. It is 90 here today

  1. Wow! These posts keep getting better and better! Loved the photos from today. Disappointed that you didn’t wear your uniform to church, though. Real estate signs…hmmm..this may call for an intervention.

    1. Come get me if I get serious about real estate. But I do love it here. Those folks at church were so welcoming. And the Rangers are so nice and willing to show me the ropes. Actually everyone I have met have been so kind..generous. I feel like I was meant to do this..no logical reason..just a feeling
