Peace and Love to all from Woodstock, NY everyone! Yes, "THE WOODSTOCK" of Woodstock Fame. Ha! This is where my "little" sister lives! Yes, I think I've seen a few people who may have come out for a concert and never left. Pretty cool. The day we arrived, Laney had a dinner party to go to so Charles was the life of the party being passed around all night, perfectly content! I was surprised. He was just totally laid back...he must know we are in great company. All of her friends say they don't lock their doors and they leave their kids in the car if they just need to run in quickly to a store. Talk about kick back to another era... I love it. She has a great place surrounded by woods and we actually ventured out her back door to cut down a Christmas tree and haul it right into the house. Yes, I could get used to this in a NY minute!


This is my 'little' sister. I say "little" b/c though she is younger, she's several inches taller than I.


Laney thinking about doing a Michael Jackson impression.

On our way to cut down a tree and make a snowman.


sophie being a good cousin and feeding Charles.


Sophie is only 4 and in preschool and can write her name!! Amazing little girl. Here she is at the party teaching Charles a thing or two with refridgerator magnets.


I wouldn't have believed it myself...good things can come of children playing with their food.


What a photo op!!! We awoke to 2-3 inches of snow. This is the view out Laney's back door!
