It's Saturday, the radio's playing, how could we ask for more? I'm in the window seat with laptop and APHC in stereo and life is good. We spent the first truly summery day out and about in the Lehigh and Delaware river valleys: Somerset Nursery to scout for plants, trees, dirt, rocks, and mulch for our big outdoor project; a great waltz through Emmaus with stops at Cottage and Mas Cafe where there was live lunch-appropriate music; Easton PA where we saw the sights and smelled crayons and stood at the confluence of the two rivers for whom the valleys are named.
This week had several highlights. After my fantastic two-day course the remaining two days of the workweek simply flew in no small part due to our evenings. Thursday was hockey night - a new season for one team I cheer for and the end of a great, great season for the other. I was reminded of those times nearly 10 years ago when the Maize and Blue won their last title with maize jerseys fly up and down the ice... this will be one of my most tangible connections to the U, so much so that I already can't wait for next fall when the team takes the ice at Yost.
Friday night we headed out to celebrate some good professional news from WAHS and found Lehigh County Mexican food hotspot Cactus Bleu. The food was great and the atmosphere just right. Highly recommended for a celebratory Friday night (though if you go, BYO).
