On Friday I went to visit Jessica and Peter and we had a great summery day together. We made a giant fruit salad at their house and enjoyed lunch on their porch, and then headed over to Peddler's Village. I keep discovering places that I wish I had known about longer, and that's one of them! It was a really nice area to shop and walk around because all the stores are small and independent and there are nice flowers, goldfish ponds and other fun landscaping all around. Such an aesthetically pleasing place to do your shopping, and there are things for everyone on your list. It feels like a little Hogsmeade. :) I think I'll go back there for one or two of their fall festivals (like the apple festival and scarecrow festival!) and do my Christmas shopping there. I especially enjoyed the coffee and tea shop, where I got some awesome chocolate raspberry tea, the bookstore, and one of the shops filled with home decor and jewelry. It was a great day just to relax, window shop and get some gelato with great friends.
Yesterday Carm and I went over to Abma's to get some eggs and produce and afterward she told me about a small grocery store called Market Basket that is close to Abma's. We decided to go and I'm so glad I know about it now! They had the best meats I think I've ever seen, a great cheese counter, and tons of things imported from Italy. Another place I'll have to visit a lot.
I am off to Connecticut for a few days to teach some sectionals, and then I'll have 3 days at home before summer ends. Looking forward to a beach day with Jess, Pete and Warren on the last day. Time flies when you're having fun!
