Weekend in Rockland County

I got back this evening from a weekend-plus in upstate NY (Rockland County). Highlights included:
family stories, lots of history (and seeing known things from another point of view)
getting to know a relative better
personal shopperage
hummingbirds (hearing the hum of hovering, even), interesting insect life, and a woodchuck
seeing a bit of Monsey
late nights (ok, far too late), plus political coverage
sitting on the covered part of the deck in the first rain of the storm
being able to help out with a bit of computer savvy (I am so not a technical person, but it was enough :-)
meal assembly together
bialys!
