52 Weekends in the Poconos

 

This is the big day all the fishermen have been waiting for - first day of trout season. The streams have been stocked and the fish are chomping at the bit to take the bait!  On the way into the office I passed a few of the hot spots - Tobyhanna Creek - and noticed a lot of cars.  Lehigh River is teaming over with plenty of fishermen. Here is a picture of Neal VanHine from the Blakeslee office with his happy grandson, Tyler who caught a big fish!   It makes me think of many years ago, befor...

Nothing says girls’ night out like a trip to the local couples resort…not. On the other hand, it can make for a fun twist when comedians are involved.I took off one Friday night to Paradise Stream, one of three lusciously romantic couples resorts at Cove Haven. We went to see a Rock of Ages show that started with a fun band called Something Sarah’s and ended with some hilarious comedians that had everyone howling.As usual we arrived late, mid-show. Trying to sneak our way through to saved...

My friend Michelle visited the Mt. Airy Casino-Resort and posted this as my guest.   

The Poconos has a lot to offer in the way of outdoor sports and recreation, but we also have some sophisticated hot spots to tempt you out at night. One of these is Mount Airy Casino, easy to find off of Rt. 611 in Mount Pocono. Of course, there’s plenty of gambling and fabulous food, exciting events and even horse-drawn carriage rides around the golf course. I went for one thing and one thing only. To dance.

Jack Frost and Big Boulder are sister ski resorts with plenty of snow bum fun for the whole family. A friend treated me and my daughter Sofia to a day on the slopes and we were off!Being only four years old, my fearless daughter was nonetheless, intimidated. She worried…could she do it? Would the other kids like her? Would she, heavens forbid, fall??? I assured her everything would be okay, and better yet, scary! And that mommy falls too. The combination proved irresistible.Getting to Jack Frost...

In light of 12-12-12  and everyone getting married that day for good luck it reminded me that all  marriages start with a vow: to be together forever. Everyone says it…blah blah blah. A very rare few know what it really means. To show it. That, my friends, is the difference.In Bear Creek Village there is a most exceptional cemetery that not just speaks from the heart, it speaks right into your own. Honestly, I could the feel sweet emotion from my first step into the Lewis family’s final resting...
