2012-01-18_legislator_jon_cooper_retirement

Long-time friend Jon Cooper, the guest of honor at a celebratory gathering for his official retirement from the Suffolk County Legislature, brought many to tears after a heartfelt speech thanking everyone for their love and support during his 12 years in office. It was fitting farewell to this chapter in his life, but this will not be the last we see of him in politics...he will be actively involved in President Obama's re-election campaign.

Congrats and good luck Jon!

 

TRADITIONS | Happy Holidays from the Kruegers

This year marks the beginning of a new family tradition...Dart's Christmas Tree Farm! Little did we know, Santa Claus was there to greet us at the old farmhouse. After sitting with good old Saint Nick, we wandered the property looking for the perfect tree. There were so many beautiful choices, but with Liam's help, we found a gorgeous Douglas Fir for our home this holiday. Hoping yours is just as jolly...Happy Holidays from the Kruegers!

"Andreas Gursky is well-known for his stunning full-color landscapes, though this one seems to only include green and grey. And yet it just became the world's most expensive photograph, fetching a whopping $4.3 million."

I originally read about this on Gizmodo.com, but I just had to learn more about this work of 'art'. According to Christies it's a "breathtaking masterpiece"...I guess you just have to see it in person to appreciate it. If you're in New York, head on over to the Museum of Modern Art to see one of the six editions in existence.
