...."It was the first of December, all covered in snow..." Those words
from James Taylor will forever bring me back to your place and the
wonderful, warm time spent there. We arrived in the Fall (Nov. 30), when I
awoke the next morning from a very restful sleep and looked out my balcony
window, I knew the beauty James sings about. Quiet, white, home...the
Berkshires did seem dreamlike on account of that frosting! The entire stay
from beginning to end was full of wonderful images enhanced by your family's
warmth and hospitality. The ride back to New York City with Peter Reigert
and Ylva Edlestein was dominated with talk about how we all felt we had just
experienced a very special, magical few days, thanks in large part to your
generosity. That is saying something coming from a bunch of jaded actors.
