We’re on Steve Greene’s mailing list and we learned that Steve’s band, The White Hots, was playing at a restaurant in Pultneyville, NY. In the email Steve said, “and the food’s good.” That stuck with me so when my father got out of the hospital we took a little drive out there. The hamlet is right on Lake Ontario so we took Lake Road out there with luxury homes on the lake side and orchards and farm land on the right hand side. It’s only a half hour ride but the countryside is so pretty you feel like you are vacation. The French traded with the Indians here in the 1600’s and the town was established in 1800 or so and they played a part in the War of 1812. We whizzed by the historical marker and I only caught the headline.
The closer we got, the more of these red stone foundations we saw. We stopped to photograph this one and speculated as to why the bigger stones were on the top. My mom thought maybe it was an addition. The restaurant is surrounded by marinas and we watched some big sail boats come in as we ate. Our friend, Jon, had taken us sailing here a few years ago. A small jazz band started playing as we were having coffee, small as in keyboards and drums. They were doing standards and the piano player played bass with his left hand. Barbara Fox was sitting at the next table over so we chatted for a bit. Peggi asked the waitress if there was a hotel in town. She said, “only one bed and breakfast.” My father wants to go back out there and paint some of the barns. We’re thinking about taking a vacation out there.

I was not expecting that impressive of an ediface when I clicked on the barn. Forget bed and breakfast. Bed and barn.
