Favorite Place

Scott and Chris_Chris CraftI feel very fortunate to have spent most of my life in the Finger Lakes. The breathtaking scenery and spectacular sunsets over Cayuga Lake help me keep perspective when life seems to move too fast. And, there is nothing like being out on the lake to be reminded to slow down, relax and “enjoy the ride.”
