July 4th 2018 Independence Day Celebration

West Point Military Academy, New York

Saturday July 7th 2018 at 7:30pm Rain date is July 8th 2018

This is my very favorite place to watch the July 4th Fireworks Display. As long as it is not raining or miserable outside, my plans this year are to visit WEST POINT for THE Best Fireworks ever!

July 4th Fireworks Trophy Point at West Point Military Academy

BBQ’s, pool parties or a day at the beach are among some of the more popular ways to celebrate the 4th of July. A nostalgic day that reminds me of my childhood, and a day to  make new memories that lasts a lifetime. When the sun drops down over the mountainside and the skies turn from sunset yellow and orange to pale pink and blue it’s time to get ready for an old time summer tradition and watch July 4th Fireworks. Deciding where to go and what is available isn’t always that easy to decide.

Growing up I remember spending time on the beaches of Connecticut watching fireworks scooping up some wonderful family memories. Since I have been living in the Hudson Valley finding the perfect location for watching the fireworks over the years has kept me busy. I do remember how excited my daughters would get every year. I have seen them from many vantage points. Some include a display over the Hudson River while others have been at local parks. They are typically small town events that are most enjoyable each and every year.

A few years ago I found something a bit more compelling. I found West Point. An absolutely spectacular display of fireworks that truly embraces the spirit of the celebration. Beginning before sundown is a parade of our newest cadets of the class of 2021 at West Point. The community welcomes these men and women that protect our country as they enter Trophy Point. 50 cadets from the class of 2021  participate in the “Salute to the States” representing his or her home state, announcing each and every state of the union.

The concert provided by the talented West Point Band is always well received by the crowd with a varied mix of old and new music. As the music continues the skies darken from pale blue and pink to a deeper shade of navy blue and midnight. And then, when you least expect it, the lights on the stage go off and BAM… the fireworks begin. Up up and over the river the fireworks explode almost on top of us. The vantage point is perfect and along with the continuous music it is simply the best place to watch the fireworks.  I will say, that until I attended the event I had my doubts that it was anything above average. I was wrong. The only way to find out is to come visit with me this year and see for yourself. The concert and fireworks are free. It doesn’t get much better!

Bring your picnic, a blanket, folding chairs and a bottle of wine and join me on Trophy Point! The event begins around 8 pm, but going much earlier is recommended. I usually get there between 4 and 5 pm and enjoy the views, the people and hike the campus of West Point. There are always some wonderful photo opportunities to keep you busy. It is a relaxing day to sit in the shade and enjoy some Hudson River views and chat with others that have been attending for years.

You will be in for a treat with music and a display of fireworks that can only be seen at this vantage point of the Hudson River. In my book a truly missed opportunity for more years than I care to count. This will be my 5th season going as long as the rain doesn’t ruin our day. The rain date is July 5th, same time same place and they announce the morning of the event on their facebook page if they decide to reschedule. I hope you will look for me and say hello!

Of course not everyone can spend the day at West Point, and that doesn’t’ mean there aren’t some awesome locations to see the fireworks closer to home. All the fireworks in town seem to be scheduled for July the weekend of 4th 2018 at allowing for the opportunity to see more than one venue on more than one day. day. Many choices for sure, but knowing where they are is always a challenge to find out.

My schedule below is from the local towns. Find a place to go, make the commitment to get there early and stay calm after with any traffic or crowds involved. Fun for all where ever you pick. My second favorite is Beacon at Long Dock. Less crowded than most spots and great views over the Hudson. What ever you choose, please be safe and enjoy!

The Annual Gardiner, NY Cupcake Festival at Wright’s Farm

May 14th 2016 from 12 to 6pm

…and I’m a judge!

Judging a cupcake bake-off is a daunting task but some one has to do it. I’m up for the challenge. With a refined skill-set known to few, I have been invited to judge the Amateur Cupcake Contest.  As a connoisseur of the cupcake, I guess you could say that I’ve been training for this all my life.

Maybe this year you might like to test your culinary skills & enter the Amateur Cupcake Contest.

Join me and peruse over 30,000 cupcakes in one location.

The categories being judged this year will be:

• Best Tasting Chocolate Cupcake
• Best Tasting Candy Bar Inspired Cupcake 
• Best Animal Decorated Cupcake 
• Best Star Wars Themed Cupcake (Kathleen – I will send photos!)

So, what makes up a good cupcake?

The Anatomy of a Good Cupcake is an important factor when judging a cupcake.

• Deliciousness
• Ratio of cake to icing
• Design and Style – overall good looks
• Creative use and presentation

You Can’t Buy Happiness, But You Can Buy a Cupcake!

Don’t forget the  5K Cupcake Classic in the morning, 9 am rain or shine. Run through the apple and peach orchards with some spectacular views of the mountains. If you need more info be sure to contact Wright’s Farm for more details and to sign up early.

The event has something for everyone. A day full of cupcakes, a 5K ,food, music, local vendors, wine tasting being held every year at Wright’s Farm in Gardiner, NY.  What a fun way to spend the afternoon. Please note that this is a pup friendly event. NO cupcakes for Fido please. Remember that chocolate is poison to our furry friends. I do believe that there will be a few vendors selling treats that are more suited for them. 

I look forward to being a part of this event and tasting some amazing cupcakes. Join me on May 14th and  you too can taste a cupcake, or two, or three. The Hudson Valley has a festival for almost everything. What a fun way to spend a wonderful spring day. Rain or shine, I’ll be there. Come in and say hello. Let me know what your favorite cupcakes are. I’d love to know.

My Favorite Things to Do & See

Spring has arrived in the Hudson Valley, and we are seeing a surge of new people looking to buy homes. Some homes are total rehab, some are completely move in ready. I have seen homes last one or two days on the market and sell above the asking price. I have seen properties linger on the market forever, only with deals that fall apart again at the last minute. I see homes that are beautiful and others that make me wonder what the builder was thinking so many years ago. The Hudson Valley is overflowing with a variety of architectural styles. We are quite unique that way.

Most of my clients come from different parts of New York City and parts of NJ. Their motivation for moving here is for work or family, or both. Everyone comes for a slightly different reason, but everyone agrees that this is a beautiful place to live.

Recently, new clients asked me many different questions about who lives here, who is moving here, where are the best restaurants, where to shop, how are the schools and how fast do homes sell in the area. All great questions when locating to a new area. While I can’t answer all of these questions, I can inform my clients where they might be able to get the answers they are looking for. Learning as much as  you can about where your new home is going to be is an important part of the home buying process. I am not always the source of all the info, but I can be the source of the source. I am happy to share a wealth of information I have learned over the last 30 plus years that I have made Balmville NY my home.

The question I was asked that was the hardest to answer was “what do you like about living here“. I never had a client ask this question before. It took me a minute to decide what to say, and then I talked about a ton of my favorite things. Why should that be such a hard question? Why did I hesitate? There are so many wonderful reasons to live here, that the answers are many. It took me a minute to decide how to share all the wonderful places I’m come to love and call home. The answer would be different for everyone that lives here, but one thing in common is that living in the Hudson Valley is the best!

Since most people are looking to live near where they work, finding a home as close to their job that meets their expectations and budget is what I work on first for my clients. After those criteria are met then finding a home near family, a specific school district they may choose and also recreational features that may be important.

The choices are many and the landscape can be breathtakingly beautiful. Just 50 to 75 miles north of New York City you can find some rather amazing things to do and see here.

A few of my favorite things to do and see:

Amazingly hard to find a favorite thing to do. All this and a short train ride to NYC when you run out of things to do here. Apple picking in the morning and a Broadway Show and dinner in the city is not hard to imagine. Life in my backyard is a wonderful place to be. Come take a look, and you are sure to find a house to call  your own. A Love Affair you don’t want to miss.

Living in The Hudson Valley

What’s happening this Fall in the Hudson Valley?

The weather is getting cooler, kids are back to school, and the leaves are beginning to change color. It may feel like it’s already been fall for weeks, but in fact the first official day of autumn is actually September 22. In honor of one of the Hudson Valley’s most beautiful seasons, here’s a list of my favorite (and uniquely local) ways to celebrate during the fall!

Storm King Art Center – The Golden Hour

• Pick-Your-Own Apples: Fall in the Hudson Valley wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the farm to pick-your-own apples. It is a scientifically-proven fact that apples taste best straight off the tree. (Note: this may not actually be scientifically proven, but I double dog dare you to prove me wrong!) There is an abundance of apple farms in the Hudson Valley to choose from with lots of apple varieties. It’s a great way to spend the afternoon with the kids, or a fun and off-beat date idea. Locals Pro Tip: Don’t forget to grab an apple cider donut to reward yourself for an afternoon’s hard work on the farm. They taste even better dunked in a cup of hot apple cider!

• Fall Foliage: Unlike it’s more famous California twin, Orange County NY is not named for its citrus, but for the gorgeous, flame-colored leaves that stun visitors and Hudson Valley locals alike every fall. It’s hard NOT to find a great place to view the foliage (really, you’d have to be trying), but a couple of my favorite spots are the Mohonk Mountain House, where you can take in the view for miles and miles, and along the Walkway Over The Hudson, where you can enjoy sights of the Hudson River among the trees. Locals Pro Tip: Leaves are at their most vibrant in late September and early October. Plan now for the next few weekends to be the most spectacular. Leaf peeping has become a new sport here. Maybe you have a favorite location?

• Hudson Valley Garlic Festival: If you’re like me, you probably agree that nothing smells quite as good as the kitchen when you’re sauteing up some garlic – except perhaps the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival, dedicated to celebrating one of natures most pungent and delicious veggies! Located in Saugerties NY, this unique festival has been serving up the good stuff since 1989. Not only are there plenty of foods to try (and guest chefs and workshops to help you create some great recipes at home), but there are also vendors, crafts, a kids area, and live music to make it an enjoyable afternoon for all. This year’s festival takes place every year in late September. Locals Pro Tip: If garlic breath just isn’t your thing, there are always other types of festivals  celebrating everything from cauliflower to film to craft beer.

• Restaurant Week: The Hudson Valley Restaurant Week is one of the biggest and best events of its kind, with restaurants participating up and down the river. The event’s name is a bit of a misnomer, as it actually runs for a full 14 days in mid November. During the event, participating restaurants offer up a three course, prix-fixe menu for an affordable price. It’s a great way to try out a new restaurant, and support local businesses. Locals Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the official website for a list of participating restaurants and their menus starting in October, and plan ahead with reservations – Restaurant Week can get busy!

• Haunted Halloween: It’s no secret that Hudson Valley locals LOVE Halloween, and there are many events to celebrate all October. One of the most spectacular is the Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze, an elaborate walkthrough experience with over 5,000 hand carved pumpkins creating intricate designs, characters, and monsters. Located at the Van Cortland Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, it’s an event that’s definitely worth the approximately hour-long drive from Orange County. Closer to home, Newburgh’s Terror Dome and Beacon’s Halloween Festival provide a variety of spooky and fun options for all-ages (including scaredy cats like me!). Locals Pro Tip: Keep abreast of events at Hudson Valley Halloween Magazine, run by local author and Halloween enthusiast Donna Davies.

A New School Year Begins in the Hudson Valley

A Formal Education is a Privilege and a Joy

Happy First Day of School!

Excitement is in the air as the summer comes to an end. Schools open their doors and a new year begins. Local children are torn between giving up their freedom of the summer and getting back to hard work. Many are anxious to return to friends and familiar faces after a long summer, but with that excitement comes the apprehension of a new year and new challenges. A formal education is a privilege and a joy. Somehow it seems to be appreciated more after the fact. Funny how that works.

I remember when I was a little girl being told that the years spent learning would be the best  years of my life. Well,  that is only partially true. Learning never stops. I remember the studying and the getting up early and teachers I didn’t like. I remember hating English grammar, but enjoying Greek Mythology. I remember the good things and the bad things. I have forgotten more details than I care to admit. In between all of that, there were some of  the best days of my life. More importantly, it is good to remember that learning never stops. Stepping out of the box and trying new things is an adventure. I have so much more to learn.

I love the message of this video!! School is cool.

As the days grow shorter and the school buses return to the roads, I am reminded of when my girls were little and headed off to school. There days of fun, and days of  tears but together we learned so many things, individually and as a family.  My girls continue to learn and teach me every day. I wish all the new students a day to remember and much success. Happy First Day of School!! The best is yet to come.

Labor Day culminates the end of summer and new beginnings. School in Newburgh NY starts on

 “WEST SIDE STORY”

The reviews are in!!! Newburgh Free Academy, the local high school in my home-town, presented their full-length musical this weekend for our community. It is a tradition that has been around since before I moved here in 1983 and remains  popular with the residents and for good reason.

Our NFA students, with great direction, come together and put on a show that is close to “Broadway” in quality (and distance) that features amazing talent. This year’s production of West Side Story was no exception. I became hooked on seeing the shows when my daughters were in high school. I always go to support the arts, and the students: this year the house was packed.

West Side Story is the modernized version of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. A sad story of tragic love, gang violence, prejudice and hate came to life on the NFA stage with our local students. In a world where we address these issues daily, this story of a love that never was to be, is highlighted in our diverse community. The students embraced the challenges of portraying the characters and telling a story that has been told and retold so many times.

Our Tony and Maria not only look beautiful together on stage, but sound wonderful. Singing such well known songs as “Tonight” and “One Hand,” they told the story so well. Dance is a huge part of West Side Story. NFA is known for their fabulous dance programs. This weekends performance highlights our students dance abilities particularly well.  The ballet and other dance numbers light up the stage. Anita’s performance is a notable favorite of the audience and mine too.

Local Newburgh students if lucky enough to seize the opportunity, were able to participate in a well directed production complete with costumes, amazing scenery, a full orchestra and sound equipment that most high schools only dream of. The amount of time and energy that go into these productions is lengthy but the results are worth it. I am a fan of the programs at NFA, the students performance and the results of their efforts.

CONGRATULATIONS to the Cast and Crew of West Side Story!

Today Marks the First Day of  Spring 2014

Get Your Newburgh House Ready for Spring

The birds are chirping as the snow continues to melt in Newburgh NY. The VERY long hard winter this year is finally coming to an end. Punxsutawney Phil, was absolutely right when he said  six more weeks of winter were in store for much of the country!! March has been quite cold making winter seem to drag on forever. Temperatures remain on the cooler side but it is inevitable that warm weather will eventually find its way to my backyard. The days are getting longer and summer rapidly follows. I can’t wait!!

Mother Nature does appear to be a bit behind schedule though. The birds are out, but the flowers are not. No buds on the trees yet either. The photo of this Crocus is from two years ago. None in site today, but soon they will find their way to begin the cycle again. We only need a few warm days to wake up the earth and start the process. I look forward to the flowers, the leaves on the trees and nice warm air. Newburgh is sure to see new activity of all kinds. There are local festivals and art shows, or an afternoon in the park.  For those looking to list their Newburgh NY homes for sale, spring is a great time to list and sell! Getting it all cleaned up from outside in makes selling a home so much easier.

Spring brings outdoor activity. It seems that once the warmer weather and longer days are here the neighbors spend more time outside. Smart homeowners begin the process of seasonal maintenance early on. You don’t need to be selling your home to work outside. All homeowners have repairs that should be looked at come spring. Taking care of the annual maintenance needed. could include painting a deck or sprucing up flower gardens. Homeowners will be out in full force on that first beautiful weekend of the season. Getting things out of the way gives time to enjoy the summer carefree. It is time to get ready to begin a garden and get ready for some nice warm weather.  Happy Spring 2014!!

Grand Opening!  A New Vintage Store for Newburgh NY 

A welcome addition, The  Newburgh Vintage Emporium opened its doors this weekend for the first time. A shop of antiques, re-purposed home décor, collectibles and vintage finds all under one roof in Newburgh NY.  I was sad to miss opening day, but I was able to stop by today and visit this 11,000 sq ft brand new antique store.  Troy Ford’s dream to open this space came to fruition and this weekend is just the beginning.  Congratulations to Troy- Owner/ Designer and all the vendors. It makes me happy to see the parking lot full and the store busy with customers.  Lucky me, as my office is just across the street. Yes, this is a great location! 

Over 50 dealers are expected to sell their wares when the store is running to its full capacity. Make sure to visit and stroll down the isles. The hunt is half the fun and there are treasures to be found. Trust me on that! Rumor has it classes are in the planning stages for refurbishing furnishing. I only wish my daughter lived a bit closer as it is something she would love to learn.  Don’t forget to like them on Facebook. Great new beginnings for Troy, and all the vendors. I wish them all the best! You will find the store open Tuesday thru Sunday from 10 am to 6pm.  Call  Troy for info 845-562-5200.

I Hope You’re Hungry!

The Newburgh, NY Waterfront is home to many restaurants, all with great food and a fabulous view of the Hudson River. The choices are varied and the ambiance superb. Don’t miss an opportunity to dine al fresco this summer and enjoy this part of the Hudson Valley. Sitting by the waterfront on any warm summer day, sipping wine with our panoramic views ads to any dining experience. Believe it or not one of my favorite things to eat by the water area french fries along with a glass of wine. Simple, but it screams vacation and relaxation to me.

Whether you have a need for gourmet or something more simple there are many choices by the Newburgh Waterfront. Each of these restaurants has something different to offer and worth a try. On the weekends there is music and a more festive atmosphere. Foodies can be found on any given night dining on fresh seafood, pizza or sushi. Whatever your preference, your dining experience will be a memorable one.

• Akasaka
• Billy Joe’s Ribworks
• Café Piti
• Captain Jake’s
• Cena 2000
• Blu Point
• River Grill

My favorite time of year to dine by the waterfront is in the summer as I love to watch the sailboats pass by. July 4th fireworks over the Hudson River make for a rather impressive end to a perfect summer day and a popular time to visit. With our local Riverside Marina many boats park along the shore during the warm weather enjoying views all summer long.  Transient slips allow many to visit with their boats all the way from New Jersey and beyond for dinner by the water with that stay overnight.

Newburgh Waterfront restaurants are not just a summer  destination, but all year long.  The views are ever changing with all four seasons, each with their own unique and special quality. Interestingly enough is that all winter  you can watch ice floating on the river changing with the tide. I have always found it mesmerizing to see the current change direction.

The waterfront has benches at Unico Park for the public to enjoy. Many residents enjoy this less formal style of dining at the waterfront and bring a picnic of their own. Picnic tables are available or your own blanket works for a more casual atmosphere to enjoy those river views. What ever you choose, you will not be disappointed.
