Last Saturday I went to visit a friend who had had a recent fall and I wanted to see how she was doing. I walked around the village for a couple of hours taking pictures of all and sundry. I had a little time to kill so I walked down a road which runs parallel to the Pocantico River to see if I could find some pictures there.

As I was taking a picture, I heard a voice saying, “what are you doing?” (or something like that). At first, I wondered if I was in some kind of trouble. Was I somewhere where I should not have been taking pictures, so I walked over to the car to explain what I was doing. Have you ever had the experience of seeing someone you know in a context where you’re not used to seeing them. That’s what happened here, and as I got closer, I realized that I knew the person in the car.

Her name is Allie, and she works in the Village of Briarcliff Manor Recreation Department, which is located right next to the Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough Historical Society where I volunteer. I see her all the time.

Anyway, we had a quick chat, and I took this picture before she went off to “do Hallowe’en things”.
