TITOS PINE HILL NY

There are very few local take out places around here that we would venture to. A couple pizza places within a 30 mile radius and a burger place nearby but the chinese take out up here is just awful. Growing up in Texas, I miss tex-mex food from San Antonio something fierce. There are tex mex restaurants on every corner there. However, they are few and far between up here. We feel fortunate that we have a really good place to get decent/delicious TexMex locally despite a bit of a drive and that is Titos in Pine Hill, NY. We usually treat ourselves on a Sunday and hope for a sunny day cause it's a nice drive. Great food! Great service too! We hope they make it and stay. The nachos are incredible, the margheritas yummy, and an array of taco options that are great. Perfect on a Sunday afternoon and some Netflix streaming - it's almost as good as San Antonio.

DIY Turntable

I am very late this year to posting pics and have some serious catching up to do. It has been a crazy year. We have so many old albums from our pasts and then inheriting a ton of albums from both our parents so we couldn't store them any longer. We needed a turntable stand where we could store our albums/vinyl and play them using a new turntable and an old receiver. Still using old wood shelving that I had from a Restoration Hardware furniture delivery debacle from a few years ago. Just adding some legs and with some new hardware and a little paint, voila a turntable record player is ready to go. Miss listening to my parents albums and all my records from the 80s and 90s. Tim's parents amassed this unbelievable classics collection that is categorized and tabbed and labeled for us.

Forsythia

When I lived in North Carolina, I lived across the street from a city park. Every spring when the forsythia bloomed there were bushes all around this block and our sunroom deck looked down upon all this beautiful color. I would go across the street and cut tons of branches and fill the house with all their beautiful blooms. It was always a sign that Spring was finally here and still is. When we moved here, I was determined to plant tons of the shrub and am still working on it but I love being able to cut vases for our kitchen and living room from our own mature shrubs. I love Forsythia.

Post Easter Weekend

We had to share Tim's parents with his brother and his wife so we went down to have a quick post Easter lunch with us all together. It was a no fuss meal as we picked up food from our current favorite restaurant in Pleasantville - Falafel Taco. Delicious fushion Israeli-Tex Mex. It was a gorgeous Spring day and flowers were bursting out everywhere. So nice compared to cold and wet Bovina still. Lunch. Lots of changes in the neighborhood with construction all around including the park. We had lunch, unpacked the car, has a nice visit and dug up some plants and headed home. Really nice day.
