• Ice Toys

    by Calli Deighan ICE TOYS Everyone knows how expensive not only dog, but kid toys are today.

  • A beautiful 70-degree, sunny day was perfect for visiting this state park right on Seneca Lake. We brought Calli along to stroll the shoreline around a portion of this beautiful, massive body of water.  The views of the homes and vineyards across the lake were stunning.  Along the path are these incredible Willow trees, some…
