Dickens Skaneatles

Last weekend my sister and I strolled the streets of Skaneatles, NY. The Dickens Christmas celebration begins the day after Thanksgiving and runs every Saturday and Sunday through December 18th, from noon to 4 pm, and a limited show on Dec 24th (noon to 3). Charles Dickens and his cast of characters, directed by Jim Greene of Scarlett Rat Entertainment, will interact with residents and visitors in the streets, stores and restaurants.This is Dickens Skaneatles...

Thousand Islands

There is a cluster of over 1800 breathtaking islands that straddle across the US and Canada border along the St. Lawrence River. In the 1870s, vacationers discovered the area and began building summer homes and hotels. 

I spent a few days there this past October  - the weather was perfect, when I say perfect - I mean sun, fabulous cloud drama and, yes, even a little rain. This is the Thousand Islands. (which by the way - the dressing really was named after - another famous factoid for 315)
