This whetted my appetite on my return as Larry and Suzanne used their cell phones to get Jane to put her books in the car and rouse Ben for the trip to Rye Brook where we stopped at the Cobble Stone (Estd. 1933) and made our way in to admire the menu though we were assured that Ben Jane and David Ben and Suzanne and Larry would be happiest if we had burgers which didn't help with the camera shyness while Jane matched her manicure to her pink lemonade and our other drinks arrived as the lottery suggested that we use this pencil which became clearer should we wish to bet. Instead, we thought about Black Jack gum and got this sign for the collection which seemed to have lost some of its message as Ben and Suzanne were cheered because the food was about to arrive with burgers (meat and not) and chicken. After the obligatory phone booth (and choking sign) pictures we headed off to the hotel where this was our room and bath room and as Jane opened the goodie bags I checked the view before we admired all of the goodies that had been left for us

and then headed to the Portchester trains tation to collect Ed and Sarah before returning to record Suzanne getting ready Jane's trimmed bangs Ben's new sweater and these pictures of the 3 kids Suzanne Ed and Andy Barth as we waited for the bus to load.

Once we arrived, we paused to look at the sculpture and made our way to the pool area where Larry showed off his (or was it my?) margaritta and posed with Uncle Bob before I explored the territory a bit

meeting Michelle Francine and watching Mackenzie along the way as Francine and Jason posed before I started taking pictures of the beautiful things in life -- flowers children more flowers and Suzanne and returned to the pool and the crowd there after passing this sculpture and captured Jane and Ben and Sarah and Ed before my picture was taken and Bonnie agreed to do this commercial for root beer which amused Larry and Dick and the crowd who gathered around the bride to enjoy. After capturing Adam we headed up the path and past more beautiful flowers and sculpture

to the statues of the inverted rotten piece of candy corn where Ben posed and Mackenzie Suzanne and Francine approached and as we entered the tent, Ben and Jane linked and we met the proud parents of the bride before gathering our food and another beer and taking this picture of Mackenzie as the camera lens smeared what might have been beautiful family photos but thankfully some pictures of Ben cleared the lens so that we could record the bride and groom on the day before. and return to our room where Jane was nice enough to gather the television remote.
