Family Trip to Ossining


       The weekend of August 21-23, 2009   Mother, Nancy and Tom and Doug
       and Linda traveled to the home of Dennis and Deb in Ossining, NY
       to celebrate Mother's 91st Birthday and spend quality family time
       together. Although Mother was pretty much confined to a wheelchair,
       a good time was had by all.  Several family members visited the Ossining
       Farmer's Market and all of us toured Kykuit (the Rockefeller Estate) in
       Tarrytown and then dined elegantly at "Harvest on the Hudson" in
       Hastings, NY just North of Yonkers. The pictures below depict some
       of what was enjoyed. (all pictures were taken by Tom)
