Happy Monday.  I hope everyone had a good weekend.  We had a whirlwind of visitors which is always fun.  So our weekend was spent visiting and eating.  

I made pumpkin French toast which I don't think I'll make again.  To me the pumpkin flavor wasn't really all that pronounced and the toast itself seemed kind of mushy (even following the Alton Brown method of making perfect French toast – which totally works with regular French toast).  The breakfast wasn't a total flop since we had fresh cherries from the farmer's market.  

To me nothing is quite as Summery as cherries.  All of my Nancy Drew books had smears of cherry juice in the pages because I would get up in the morning, throw on some shorts and head outside to pick a bowl of cherries.  Then I would lay in the hammock reading and eating cherries until I swore I would never eat another one.  Which I wouldn't, until the next morning when I would repeat the process.

We are really enjoying our new town.  Everyone is friendly, the downtown is always bustling with people and it is very family friendly.  They have a number of fountains downtown including a very interactive one.  It was nice and hot on Saturday and after lunch one of our visitors couldn't resist the lure.
