I spent an idyllic weekend up in the Poconos at Aunt E and Uncle S's vacation home. Snow was falling gently Friday night through Saturday night, when I left, creating a continuously new layer of fresh, powdery fluff. There is something "other-wordly" about the Poconos. Maybe it is because there is no TV, maybe it is because cell phone reception is spotty, maybe it is because I have literally a lifetime of winter and summer memories there . . . whatever it is, though, makes for a pure escape from the world.

Friday evening began with a delicious meal at Murphy's Loft and ended with a horrific discovery of a dead chipmunk in my pillow. I slept in a different room that night! Saturday opened with a lazy morning that did not begin until a little after 10:00. Uncle S served one of his famous egg, potato, sausage, cheese "omelettes" - yum! After cleaning up breakfast we read by the fire. I think any book is improved by the warmth and light of a fire :) When mom and dad arrived we went for a walk through the development, which was beautiful because the roads were completely snow-covered. Saturday ended with a long, leisurely 3 course meal that stretched for several hours. It was the perfect end to a rejuvenating weekend.
