My journey towards femininity, with all the bumps in the road. Who knows where this road will lead? But it certainly will be a prettier road, and one well worth traveling.

White Post Farms
Aren't these the cutest looking critters? If they could be domesticated as house pets, they'd be a rival to cats and dogs. But I digress. Today, I'm writing about a weekend I had with the lady from Forest Hills and her daughter.

I was supposed to order the tickets for this weekend event Thursday evening. Due to a personal screw-up (which I'll blame on my own ambivalence about going further with this relationship), I couldn't get the 1:30 pm tickets for Sunday afternoon that I planned to buy. Instead, I ended up buying tickets for 3:00 pm, and doing a big Mea Culpa for my screw-up.
Sunday came, and I drove to FH's place, picking up her and her daughter. FH is a middle aged lady, while her daughter is a young adult whose voice makes her sound like a teenager. (The daughter still has a lot of growing up to do, and I'm confident in her ability to make young adult mistakes and recover from them.) So we drove to the McDonald's in New Hyde Park, where they saw one of the fanciest looking fast food joints they will ever visit.
Wouldn't you agree with me about this McDonald's? When the town had its dispute with McDonald's regarding the potential tear down of the building, both sides came to an agreement to preserve it. (Note: My mom was interviewed by a local TV station about this building and McDonald's.) As much as I'd have like to have seen a full historic restoration of the building, I am happy to see it returned to life - even if it is a McDonald's.
We reached White Post Farms around 3 pm, and proceeded to go inside. This is an experience best enjoyed by a (Grand)parent and younger children. But we had fun there, in spite of the 80+ degree weather. (Who'd have thought it'd be this warm at the end of September?)
As you can see, this place has animals that the average suburban child will not see outside a traditional zoo. And they can get up close to many, as a good number of these animals would be perfect in a typical petting zoo.
It was really nice to see FH's daughter enjoying herself at the farm. Hopefully, if we were to go there again, the weather will be a little bit more comfortable - I felt way too warm, even in a short sleeve shirt.

Tomorrow, I go back to Marian mode. It'll be nice to get back into a comfortable dress again!
