The two friends I saw was Kristen Franklin Donovan and Penny Wong. And I met their friend Tia from their High School. It was a great afternoon. We went to the Vanilla Bean Cafe in Pomfret. I had never been there (and I'm from Pomfret I must add).
This is the inside of the Vanilla Bean Cafe. It used to be an old barn. For more info, go to http://www.vanillabeancafe.com/
I had a slice of the out of this world Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake. It was absolute heaven! But the best thing was seeing my friends and making new ones.
After the Bean, I went to Hazelwood Art Gallery on Route 44 in Pomfret. Oh, the crafts in there! A lot of glass. (No I didn't break anything, thank goodness!) Everything is handcrafted and beautiful! I bought a Mother's Day gift for my mom, a book of Yankee Weather Lore (my dad's family were true Yankees) and a Moon Pill Box. I love sun, moon, and star collectibles. At least now I can say I've been to two places in Pomfret - the Bean and Hazelwood. One of these days I want to go to Celebrations on Pomfret Hill.
Today I visited with my Uncle Alan and Aunt Connie in Putnam. It was a nice visit. My uncle reminds me so much of my dad (they were brothers). It was good to see them both.
So it's back to work tomorrow. Need I say more? I'm already ready for another weekend!
