Oct 14

Went back to Top Cottage..my 5th trip so far to my favorite site.  Took the Roosevelt Ride today, no hike.

My friends, Dick and Linda, went along. It was their first time and it was really fun. Our Ranger was Victor, who is a marvelous storyteller.  Stories about deer tracks, Camel cigarettes, grave digging.  Too funny and too long to write about, but be happy to tell, when I see you.

Then to lunch at Nic L Inn in Poughkeepsie, right on the banks of the Hudson

A gorgeous day, sunny, warm.

Even the multitude of geese were relaxing and feasting on apples in FDR’s front yard.
