29 AGAIN!!!





Yup, 18 years ago I turned 29 and I haven't aged a bit since? OK, maybe I have aged somewhat, but I don't worry about the numbers. I gave that job to my doctor. What a beautiful day I have had. My dear husband, Lenny, knows how much I love bagels so he was up and out early and brought home fresh bagels and cream cheese. Then we drove up Rt 402 to Lake Wallenpaupack in Northeast PA. We've never been there and saw that they offered boat tours of the lake. Now, I've been on boats before and NEVER had a problem. This is a lake, how choppy can it get? VERY!!! With all the other boats and wave runners creating wakes everywhere, I was getting sick. Thankfully it was only a one hour tour. We saw a campground right on the lake and they only charge $26 a night, so we decided that next year we're going to spend a few days there and explore the area further. Down the road on Historic Rt 6 we found the Antler Ridge Winery. I just had to stop. I love going to area wineries and tasting the local wines. I found two that I liked so I bought a bottle of white and a bottle of red. Well, ok, that was present three from Lenny. From there we continued on a drive through the country along Rt. 6 west to 191 south. A lumber yard in the town of Hawley had a large sign on the side of the hill that said HAWLEYWOOD. How clever is that. I "wood" have taken a picture but as usual, Lenny thought he was qualifying for NASCAR. Before long we were back on I-84 heading east back to Rt 402 south. We enjoyed an early dinner at Pub 570 on Rt 209 in Marshalls Creek. When we got home, one of our camping neighbors gave me a red velvet cupcake from "The Cake Boss". After Lenny sang Happy Birthday, I cut the cupcake in half and shared with him. It was a beautiful day in the Pocono Mountains of PA...now it's raining with thunder and lightening. I LOVE STORMS so I guess this is God's present to me. Thank you to all my family and friends who called me and who left messages on facebook. I am truly blessed to live the life I live and share it with so many people. Thanks for travelling along with us on The Thomas' Trails...till next time.
