Happy Halloween from Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow is just over the Hudson River from Nyack. What better place to have some halloween fun? We went Sunday night to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Fair. I did not have alot of pictures because it was dark but there are a few of us being silly that I thought were cute. The festivities included a story teller, telling the Legend of Sleepy Hollow of course. If you are not familiar this is the story of the headless horseman. As we walked around random "ghosts" walked around too. At one point one came scarily close to Sarah and me. We laughed as we watched as he went straight towards Katie and her friend Melinda. Although it was not scary at all we had a great time. As we were leaving we saw two little boys running around. One of them had his coat up over his head and was chasing the other one around. The one being chased was begging the "headless horseman" not to get him. It was soo cute. It made me wish I could see things through the eyes of a child again.

 
  

 

Me, Sarah, and Katie 

Its kind of fuzzy but...

  


If you look closely you can see 2 of the stars from the new ABC show 6 Degrees. I have come to love this show since it is one of the few that I can watch online. It was rather funny that I saw them because I was just talking about the fact that I had never seen anyone famous while I have been in the city. We came across them shooting for the show in Greenwich Village. I was pretty excited when I saw all of the cameras and food tables so I knew something had to be going on. I was even more excited when I saw the hottie from the show standing across the street. Everyone reading this knows I am a nerd, so I am sure you will not be surprised that I walked by them and told them that I love thier show. The hottie just smiled and the girl said, "That's awesome." Anyway, the reason I was in the city was because I was studying Koreans for a class. We were working on an Ethnograpy in order to learn how to properly minister to people of other cultures. It was a wonderful experience and I learned alot. If I was a better writer I would tell you all about it. I'm not so if you want to hear about it you will just have to call me. I will say that this trip is one of the reasons that I was attracted to this program. It did not let me down.

A bad day, Lost, and Pumpkin Bread

If you can't tell from the title, this is going to be a random post. First, let me explain that my friend Sarah was having a very bad day today. Katie and I have decided that she is our Kramer. She just comes in without knocking and she usually glides or hops in. Today was a little different. She just wasn't having a great day, which is very unusual for Sarah. This afternoon I discovered that one of my friends has the entire second season of Lost on DVD. Now, that may seem kind of random to most who read this because I don't watch Lost. Well, I do now. I am waiting on the last disc of the first season to get here and then I can start on the second season without waiting for netflix to send me the next disc. Sarah has seen the first season but not the second so she has been anxious for me to get the the second season. Well...I squealed with delight when I saw that Lost box today and borrowed it. I immediately called Sarah to tell her the good news. It brightened her day at least a little bit. Sarah's birthday is on the 25th but nobody will be here so Katie had the great idea for us to sing Happy Birthday for her tonight. So that explains the pictures below. I also wanted to warn everybody that I may not be posting for a little while becuase I will be in Queens for the next 10 days making friends with Koreans. Its a project for school. I think it is going to be a lot of fun. It is going to be challenging but fun. I am not sure what the internet situation will be but I will try to post if anything interesting happens and if I can get on the internet.

 

Sarah walking through her birthday streamers! 

 

When Katie said that we should sing happy birthday to Sarah I went a little overboard. Katie said that she had streamers then I said that Sarah needed a crown. Then the Judson girl came out in me and I decided that Sarah just had to have a sign for her Birthday. You can't really see it very well because all I had to make it out of was a paper bag. We discovered several new uses for paper bags! 

 

Sarah with her pumkin bread cake that Katie made. I am very proud of Katie. She is just learning how to cook and bake and she is doing very well. I think I might be rubbing off on her just a little. She is even going to make a recipe out of the Judson cookbook for her family next week. 

 

Katie and Sarah being silly, as usual. 

My Daily Walk

It has been a while since I blogged because there has not been much going on. I have pretty much just been reading, writing, and working. The leaves are really pretty right now so I took my camera along with me on my walk a few days ago. These pictures are a little taste of what I see as I walk around the Nyack College Campus.
