Where did the summer go?

Wow - it's almost October! Where has the summer gone? Funny how events in life are a better indicator that the summer is gone than the calendar itself. I can still remember the excitement of getting my school supplies and heading off to the next year of school. That was always an exciting end to the summer. Even today, with no children and no classroom to go to, it is difficult to stay away from the school supply sales. Instead, I find myself wandering up and down each aisle, trying to refrain from buying the latest "cool pen" or Hello Kitty notebook. It's also important to buy something fun like Crayola markers, or now that I am older, wiser and more careful -- Sharpies! And no back to school shopping would be complete without the purchase of clothing, shoes and a new haircut. Thankfully, a few purchases have gone by the wayside. I no longer feel the need for a #2 lead pencil, a bottle of glue or a new lunch box.

This past weekend Brian, Rich and I headed to the Minnesota Rennaisance festival. It was wine and chocolate weekend. I'm not real big on wines - but the chocolate samples were definately worth the price of admission. Of course some of the best chocolate was from Truffles and Tortes in Plymouth MN. They are located in a little shopping mall across the street from our first apartment in the Twin Cities area. If you are ever in the area, you should check them out along with a neighboring restaurant called the Tea House.
