The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 41

The Good:

In an amazing turn of events....all living hostages are HOME in Israel!! 2 years and one week and it feels like every Jew in the world has collectively exhaled! It's a good weird to not need our "bring them home now" dog tags or yellow ribbons anymore, but that is more than ok!

The Random:

Interesting choice of sign, 16 Handles...and yes I have seen high school kids try...

The Fun(ny):

I popped into Fishes Eddy and had a good laugh over this little display!

A Day in Beacon

We drove up to Beacon over the weekend to have brunch and walk around. Beacon is a little town along the Hudson River about an hour north of us. It's nestled in the mountains and known as a bit of an artist colony with a fun vibe. 

We had a really great brunch at a cafe that is 100% gluten-free and then strolled the main street popping into the various shops.

The shops are a mix of funky vintage-type places, fun general store type places, a book shop, a witchcraft/crystal place, kid's boutique, and more! I shopped local at the book shop (can't not buy a book, ha!) and Judah treated himself to a fancy marshmallow hot chocolate at the marshmallow shop. 

We also strolled over to the waterfalls and enjoyed taking in the pretty scenery! Judah got adventurous and climbed down onto the rocks to get a picture. I stayed firmly planted on higher ground! It was a perfect weekend day date!

Strolling the MET

It had been too long since I strolled through the MET! I recently learned that members can go in early on the weekends and enjoy quieter galleries before the rush of the usual crowds. I really felt like I had the place to myself for a bit!! 

I try to explore new nooks and galleries each time I go - this time I explored the Greek pottery which was so fun since I loved learned about that in school. I also enjoyed the recently renovated Arts of Oceania and Ancient America they opened up the gallery and made it so much brighter to showcase the art. 

The MET is about to undertake a massive renovation, expanding the modern wing -- can't wait for that!

The Good. The Random. The Fun. v. 40

The Good:

My favorite Jewish holiday starts tonight! Judah and I went to his mom's to help build and decorate her sukkah and we love how it turned out. We're excited for lots of meals with family out in it.

The Random:

I had to laugh at the disposable plates the kosher market was selling for the holiday. Nice cross between creepy and cutesy!

The Fun:

Sukkot-themed deserts anyone? I love having a vibrant community that sells holiday-themed treats! 

I would also be remiss if I didn't mention that tomorrow marks 2 years since Hamas' horrific attack on Israel. It seems like yesterday and eons ago all in one. I am hoping and praying that a deal to end the war goes through in the coming days and we see the remaining hostages home at last and the war and suffering ending; it's been too long.
