Dorothy Lander Shares Letters and Pictures from Floridian First Graders!

Sharing Finger Lakes Foliage with Young Floridians turns into a Treasure of Letters and Drawings!

Last Fall, Dorothy (Dot) Lander collected a box of colorful leaves and sent them to her daughter, Janet, who is a 1st grade teacher in Florida. Janet's students, many of whom had never been exposed to the beautiful Fingerlakes colors, responded in a most thoughtful way.  They drew pictures and composed letters. Dot was so surprised and overcome with joy when she opened the package. 

These pictures and letters have been displayed in the CM living room this week for all CM residents, staff, families and visitors to enjoy! A big thank you to Dot for sharing with all of us.  We have been in awe of the thoughful messages, the drawings, and the amazing penmanship coming from such young children.

A Scenic Excursion to The Finger Lakes Boating Museum

Antique Boats, a beautiful day, South end of Keuka Lake, and Ice Cream!!

I caught this crew as they returned from an excursion to the Finger Lakes Boating Museum on the South end of Keuka Lake just outside of the village of Hammondsport.  As they got off the bus I heard "so interesting" and "we learned so much" and "what a beautiful scenic tour!"  Patti Schultz, tour guide and bus driver, said to me, "you have got to go!"  The museum is filled with beautiful antique boats and murals.  The collection of boats are all tied to the Finger Lakes Region and it's located in the historic Taylor Wine Company's main building.  After spending time in the museum, the crew boarded the bus for a drive back by way of Mitchellsville and Prattsburgh (Patti is great at finding the most beautiful routes on our excursions). They stopped in Naples for ice cream/lunch at Lynny Lou's. Then, they continued the scenic drive home going on the High Road on 64, then State Route 21, and home to Ferris Hills.  A great day spent in the Finger Lakes Region!
