I know, it's been almost a month since my last post - so not like me.  And it's not that things haven't been going on, which has been partly to blame.  I've been busy between work and volunteering and life in general.  My spirits have also not been at their normal medium-high level, but I've been counting my blessings and focusing on the positive energy around me.  With that said, here are some highlights over the past few weeks:

Labor Day The Mountain Home^TM - David and I trademark it because it's one of a kind!  We went to eat at Flow - the newest restaurant in Jim Thorpe that brings you delicious food right from the farm.  It was a former wireworks factory dating back 200 years and a stream flows underneath the restaurant, which you can see through a glass enclosure in the dining room.  It's my new favorite!  It's also cool because it has an art gallery, but I'm not much of the artsy type.  The next day, we had a picnic with extended family and saw some cousins we usually only see at funerals, so it was nice to reconnect with everyone. There were lots of kids, but they were tons of fun.

The weekend after that, we visited Tom's family in Western PA.  We didn't take any pictures, but I wish we brought the camera.  All I can say is that I'm the bongo ball champion!  Aunt Helen also made the best halupses (stuffed cabbage rolls).  We almost got caught for breaking and entering a new home under construction, but it turned out they were people being just as "nebby" as us! 

Tom's birthday was on the 10th and we went to the Manayunk Brewery, one of his favorite places to eat.  I also tried a new recipe - chicken spinach cannelloni.  He's been asking me to make it for some time and I was able to use a lot of our organic veggies from the CSA. 

I'm really looking forward to the weekend - our last hoorah before Tom starts school.  We have some fun things planned, but more on that soon.
