August has been a great month full of activity! We've enjoyed a lot of outdoor concerts, festivals, and events. We've enjoyed a double feature (Captain America/Harry Potter-last movie?? maybe...lol.) at drive-in in New Jersey. Something I had not done in a long time. My son loved it! I fell asleep during the 2nd feature (Harry Potter) but he was a real trooper and watched till the end.
I have been trying different cuisine from Africa (Ethiopian, Senegal)with my friend Bina. Yummo!! She also loves live music so we checked out "Dende" a Brazilian percussion band at World Cafe Live. I have been able to spend some quality time with friends I have recently reconnected with. We always find something fun to do or eat in the city...lol.
My honey and I always check out the comedy and music scene in the city. We checked out Improv Night at the Shubin Theater, Luke O"Reilly at Chris Jazz Cafe and Conjunto Philadelphia at World Cafe Live. We have taken some fun evening motorcycle rides too.
I was itching for a roadtrip and decided to drive to Atlanta area to visit family. The drive was pleasant, weather great, family was fun, and food was awesome!! Family home cooking...can't beat that!!
Can you tell I'm obsessed with food....among other things....lol.
We have really enjoyed this summer and will continue to enjoy the mild weather before the cold and crisp weather arrives. We even managed to experience an earthquake in the Philly area (Tuesday 8/23, early afternoon). Had not planned that....lol.
Now we are getting ready for my son's new school year so I have to slow down some. He'll be starting 8th grade. Hmmmmm....I'm actually looking forward to hybernating a bit once the winter comes. Maybe get some rest for next spring and summer. Or maybe not..lol. We'll see.....
No, say it isn't so! Summer isn't ending, it's just a cold spell in the forecast for a bit. :)
ReplyDeleteThis has been a pretty great summer. Our first of many awesome summers to come. I'm looking forward to our winter adventures as well.
Ivy, I love you.
Am so happy for you, Ivy. Were you able to reconnect with the GSE team ? They live in Philly and roundabouts, don't they ?
