A trip to the Motherland....

Mom wanted to go to shopping the other day!

Miss Kenzie and I never refuse the opportunity to go to MacKenzie-Childs in Aurora, NY...


The view "coming" is almost as pretty as the view is "going"


It's always fun to watch the talented artists.....


...and see the beautiful shard trees...


...and unique lamps...


...and the lovely grounds!


We had lunch at the Fargo, in town, and enjoyed a beautiful fall day on Cayuga Lake!
