Butternut Creek Adventure





Mary picked us up and took us to a heavenly place - the Butternut Creek at Glen Highland Farm. A former TV producer friend of Mary's owns this expansive land and uses it for a Border Collie rescue facility. The friend also brings inner-city kids from the Bronx to enjoy a vacation in paradise. I rested on the hammock while Hannah, Luke and Amy played in the water with the dynamic trio, Bucket, Clyed and Zella. The weather was perfect - hot and breezy. Luke especially enjoyed the rope bridge. Hannah, ever the scientist, found some interesting layered rocks and, to her delight, a rock containing flakes of gold!We stopped at Nancy Myer's ice cream stand on the way home where we enjoyed hot dogs, smoothies, frizzles and cones. Hannah went straight to bed and slept for three hours while I made dinner and Luke held down the sofa armed with the remote control. I think we'll all sleep tonight with visions dancing in our heads of a fabulous day with our friends.
