Mother’s Day Weekend
We had a beautiful weekend here in Westchester, New York. My mother came up on Saturday morning, and we went on a tour of the Rockefeller Estate. This visit deserves a post of its own, so look forward to hearing more about it later.
The next day we had a picnic at the Croton Gorge Park.
My brother came up from Brooklyn.
When we got back to the Cape of Dreams, we ate the cake that I had made earlier. It was a pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing. I used my great grandmother’s recipe and pumpkin that I had cooked and frozen last fall.
Sunday evening Douglas and I went to a Pink Martini concert in Tarrytown. He went to humor me, but he thoroughly enjoyed the concert. They are an amazing band.
I even got up on stage to dance when they asked for audience participation. Please excuse the blurry picture, but that is me in the purple shirt. Douglas has a video of me dancing salsa with another women while I was up there. I had a blast.
I hope that everyone had as nice a weekend as we did. Thanks, Mom, for coming to visit!
Happy Homemaking!
I am a teacher, traveler, artist, writer, homemaker and a whole lot more. In January 2009, I bought the Cape of Dreams. It was the second house that I had ever owned, but it was the first that I bought by myself. I now live in the house with my husband Douglas, our dog Kahlua, and Crème de Menthe, the cat. Because, what life is complete without a little Kahlua and Cream? I love arts and crafts of all kinds, and I refinish furniture as well. We are slowly redoing our entire house.

What a nice weekend. I look forward to your post on the Rockefeller estate. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
It was an interesting place. We were not allowed to take pictures inside, but I will see if I can get some online.
What a fun weekend! I, too, look forward to seeing the Rockefeller estate. You know I love Pink Martini, but I would never get up on stage! You’re brave!
Douglas would not get up with me either, but he did do the conga line at the end of the concert. It was fun on stage, but I was glad we were in the back!
sounds like a great weekend! was the pumpkin cake as good as it looks?
It was awesome! I ate practically the entire cake myself.
