Well, we've had another lovely Mother's Day weekend here at 54 Ridgeway. Mom H and Mom B joined Sarah and I and Jenn and Bob and Zhora in the Ithaca era for a few days of eating, hiking, chatting, laughing, blacksmithing, cow roping and all kinds of other stuff.
These cool glass lanterns are at the Argos Inn. We met there on Friday for drinks and amazing tacos and such from the Good Truck.
For Saturday, Sarah arranged for us to meet up with Leon at the Benjamin Patterson Inn's Cooley Blacksmith Shop. Leon was incredible and gave us a lesson that lasted a couple hours. Marjie met us there and had an opportunity to use her new hammer.
Zhora and the moms went on a tour of the museum, then met us back at the shop. Zhora spent some time picking flowers and making bouquets.
Working the fire.
Want.
Jenn had found a place called FLX Wienery north of Corning and we headed there for lunch. It's a GREAT little place, and incredibly, they had managed to get there hands on a few cans of Heady Topper, one of the holy grails of IPAs. They're almost as hard to get as Pliny the Elder. Great dog, great beer, great company.
Sunday we went out to Jenn and Bob's and also out to their neighbors' house to watch some horsemanship. Zhora was excited to show off the baby goats.
Then it was back to our place for some steaks on the fire. It was a little rainy, but the coals lasted and Sarah, Bob, and I managed to get some good steaks cooked for the crew.
Happy Mother's Day!
