We are fast approaching the end of 2008 and many homeowners are still hoping to get their home sold. The number of sales is still small in comparison to listings; however just last week interest rate dipped below 6% so this might entice more buyers into the market.. Like other communities, this area too has had to confront foreclosure; this recent blog by E. Jeffrey Dolfinger shows no one is immune to being foreclosed on.

LILY POND

Sometimes when I don't feel like writing or reading I love looking through my photographs; and now I realize how important it is to make a notation of where the shots were taken. This particular shot of the Lily Pond, I am almost positive was taken in Massachusetts but I am not sure if it was in Stockbridge or Williamstown on my visit to the Clark Museum.

The Hudson River is a integral part of the history of the Hudson Valley, and the area is blessed with many historic sites along the river.

Cynthia Phillip Owen's new book Rhinecliff: The Tangled tale of Rhinebeck's Waterfront is a great addition to the collection of books related to the Hudson River.

It is also exciting that the talk and book signing will take place at the newly renovated Rhinecliff Hotel which has a truly magnificent view of the river.

Purchasing this book will also benefit the local Morton Library.

When:  Sunday November 23rd

Time:    4:00 - 6:00 PM

Where: Rhinecliff Hotel 4 Ginnell St
