Ode to my Cart

Oh sturdy cart so faithful and true....what would I do without you?  Always full of appropriate supplies, so that no mess comes with a surprise!  Gloves, sprays, brushes and rags...not to forget, the many sized bags.  A broom, a bucket and handy mop, I can clean all day without a stop.  Add a license plate & a rubber ducky horn and wadda ya know, a housekeeper is born.

Winter View

White snow covers the winter world beyond my window, while soft streaks of vapor, yellow and red, stretch across the easterly sky.  We have a glimpse of God's orderly plan, of which we humans know only a tiny fraction.  How beautiful is all that we see before us!  Spring and Summer will arrive when they're due; The earth will continue to spin on its axis.  On some future day, I hope to meet my relatives, long-long gone, but eager to see me again.  That, too, will be a beautiful day!

Winter

Roses are red, so it is said, and violets are blue, I know that is true.  In upstate NY we all pop a cork: Winter is here.  Time for snowmen, snow angels, maple sundaes and pancakes, and the blessed virginity of new fallen flakes...Winter has come!

My Clark Meadows Family

Families are larger than nuclear and extended.  Families are the every day people in our lives.  Families are present every day, all year.  Families spend holidays together because they care.  To my everyday family, I wish you a Happy Valentines Day.

Ferris Hills and Clark Meadows Men's Group enjoys presentation by Tom Mees on Sonnenberg History

Ferris Hills resident Tom Mees recently gave a fascinating presentation on the history of Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park to our men's group.  With a deep appreciation for local history and a true gift for storytelling, Tom had the audience captivated by his knowledge of this local gem.

In addition to sharing historical insights, Tom enocuraged anyone interested in volunteering at Sonnenberg to get involved - help is always welcome!

One interesting question came up during the discussion: How did Sonnenberg get its name? Tom explained that "Sonnenberg," meaning Sunny Hill in German, was the postal name of the property when it was purchased.  Fittingly, the estate sits at the crest of Fort Hill Avenue.

Tom also shared the story of how Fred and Mary Thompson met: at Mary's father's farewell banquet ball in Albany, NY.  At the time, her father was serving as Governor of New York State.  It was love at first sight.  Just six months later, Fred and Mary were married in the Clark family home, located behind the United Church on Gibson Street.
