We arrived home last night after being away for 10 days.  I missed my daily blog reads but did manage to read a post or two whenever there was wi-fi.  (I must get some sort of a roaming package next time I travel.)  <\/p>\n

We spent a few days at Darien Lake<\/a>, NY doing this:<\/p>\n

and this:<\/p>\n

\"DSC00521-1\"

Even though I dislike rides, except for some of the water rides, we all had fun.  <\/p>\n

We then went here<\/a>:<\/p>\n

(I\u2019d like to believe that the old adage about the camera adding 10 lbs is true!)<\/p>\n

And ate here<\/a> (photo taken from their website):<\/p>\n

I have a few of their vegetarian cookbooks and have always wanted to eat here.  It wasn\u2019t until we were about to leave Ithaca, that I realized that the restaurant was right next door to our hotel all along.  Although the decor is lacking, the food doesn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n

While we were visiting my husband\u2019s mom in the Catskills<\/a>, her brother passed away.  He was very sick and we are thankful that we were there.  I love small town USA \u2013 a large portion of the town came out to express their condolences.  Rest in peace, Uncle Eddie.<\/p>\n

And now on a more upbeat note, the winner of the CSN giveaway is:<\/p>\n

Barbara from hodge:podge<\/a>.  Congrats Barbara!  I will be contacting you soon with the info you need to collect your prize.<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who posted, tweeted, followed.  I really appreciate it!<\/p>\n

Hope you are enjoying the summer!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
