We spent the past five days in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania which is north of Scranton, Pa. It was rainy/cloudy and cold the entire time so we didn’t stray too far from home and didn’t do much. The park had poor telephone service and internet was only available after paying a daily fee and spending hours working through a secondary company. That’s one reason why we didn’t post anything during that time.
One of the highlights of our stay in that area was spending Monday with Carol and Bruce, Jim’s family in Souderton. During Mom and Pop’s protracted illnesses we were accustomed to seeing Carol and Bruce at least once a month. Prior to this trip, we hadn’t see them since last January and it was really good to see them again. Besides, they have a jiffy type store named WaWa that has pumpkin spice coffee that we love. So we got our Carol/WaWa fix for awhile.
On Sunday, we found a really nice church in Scranton and after services we found Victoria’s Gourmet Cafe. We knew we were going to enjoy it when we read the specials. One of the specials was the Political Omlette that listed fried bologna as the first ingredient. We spent some time talking to the owner and hearing how he was keeping it going during these hard economic times. His Italian background made it even more fun to talk to him.
On Tuesday morning, we left for Virginia and hopefully some sun and warmer temperatures. We will only be there two nights and then on to Junaluska, North Carolina and the Blue Ridge Mountains for an entire week. We are really looking forward to the week there because we are familiar with the area. Of course, there will be a trip to Barber’s and if you’ve been to that area, you know what that means. 🙂
