Ah, Sleepy Hollow! One of our fave places to visit. Looking forward to the Halloween activities once again–have you ever gone to any of the Historic Hudson Valley events?

  Indeed, I have, Lori. I’ve loved that area since childhood, and get back there as often as I can.

This is beautiful, Kenn!
It looks like the perfect place to just sit a while and “be.”
