Spooky fun & Fun in Strasburg

My last week in PA started off with some sleepy kitty sitting with me! She hadn't been as open to my loving as she was before and we had thought it was because I left to go visit my friend then came back, but really it was because I was not sitting in the right spot! If I sat in the chair instead of the couch she might come over and sit in my lap! So that was pretty nice!

Then my friend Suzi came up for a visit and some spooky fun! We went around to all the stores looking at the Halloween things they had - I got these cute ghostie kitchen towels, and it was a lot of fun! And so nice seeing her again! Last time I was a zombie so it was great to catch up and have all the adventures!! I can't believe how much spooky stuff was already in the stores and if I lived here I would have purchased so much!! We don't really have Halloween in Germany (though it is slowly getting bigger and I might find a few decorations and stuff in October) so it was fun seeing all the things. Most were way too big or heavy to fit into my suitcases!

My mom and I went to Seinfeld trivia on Tuesday night as she is a huge Seinfeld fan and some of the other people on her trivia team wanted to go. It was held at a brewery in Strasburg and the location was pretty nice, though there were a ton of bugs (and sitting at a picnic table for hours is not the most comfortable). I know next to nothing about Seinfeld except what everyone knows (we watched like 2 episodes the week before and that is all I have seen since it originally came out, and I don't even know how much of it I saw then). It was fun even though I was no help, and I did wander around and spy on the Choo Choo Barn which was right next door. A fun plane also flew overhead while we were playing! We did not do very well, not terribly, but not winning either so we headed out after the last round.

Then we went back to Strasburg to try out the creamery the next day as they had vegan flavors. I tried the Caramel Macadamia Nut which...was alright, but nothing special. It wasn't very creamy, more icey, and didn't have a lot of caramel or macadamia nuts in it. Still it was nice to sit and have some ice cream (even if it started raining while we were there)

We then did a bit of shopping and went out for Thai food as I love it so much (yes, I got two things because I love both dishes and I can always have the rest as leftovers!). It was rainy off and on all afternoon and we just about finished when it started raining a bit again so almost perfect timing. Still it was some pretty fun days!Read more
