Barn Love

We have been very clear with friends and family that we expect to the barn to be used "often by many for fun and frivolity". I believe there is something really magical that happens when you keep that philosophy front and center. Last night was a wedding celebration party for our friends Shouvik and Shay, for those of us that could not attend the festivities in India. During the night, I introduced Joe to Debbie, another friend and former co-worker who once accompanied Shouvik up to the barn for a weekend when they both really needed a getaway. Debbie than introduced us to Marcus, a friend of hers, who accompanied them that same weekend. Turns out Marcus is Swiss and new to New York and says it was the most "magical" weekend of his summer. He was really getting depressed and missing the fresh air of the mountains and he said the trip renewed him. Debbie says she thinks about that weekend all the time. Now mind you, they left at 10pm on a Friday, got lost, and arrived at the barn around 4am. They watched the sun rise, went to bed for a few hours, got up and climbed a mountain. Then, they went to Tail O the Pup for BBQ and went canoing. They woke up the next day and went home. Yes, these people are nuts. But, they get it. We get it. It brings us such pleasure to share it. We are busy planning their next round.
