“MATTY & MICHELLE’S VISIT CON’T”
……………………Sunday morning…we all got up early, because Michelle, who’s a realtor, had a 1:00pm showing of a house, and there was a lot we wanted to do before they got on the road……First stop Elm Street Diner…[photos at left…The poster outside shows their famous “desert”…it’s a design your own, or they will make one for you….It’s a mile high with all kinds of ice cream, whipped cream, candies and even lollipops sticking out…..Honestly it’s kind of gross, and I can’t believe how many people order it! Talk about a sugar overload….They even order one for breakfast to share….yuck!….I order fried eggs and bacon…no potatoes please, but Matty jumped in, and said I’ll take my uncle’s potatoes!….He had the “Lumberjack Special”….Poached egg on top of a stack of pancakes with bacon, a sausage paddy, a slice of ham, and toast!….That 6’6” boy can eat!…..Michelle had the French toast with blueberries, which were the size of marbles!….Breakfast was yummy!!……..Then off to Terrain, a wonderful store in Westport Ct…….You simply can not go into that store without buying something. There is also a cafe in the store and it was full of people enjoying their meals….We walked around the store with baskets in hand buying all kinds of Halloween decorations, soaps and candles….Matty and Michelle had given me as a present, a “Blueberry Muffin” candle…..photo bottom right….and it smells just like a blueberry muffin!…..His older brother Chris, had given me this heat lamp that you put a candle under. The heat of the lamp melts the candle without any flame!…and boy does it work! It’s great because you can put it on a timer, and you can leave the house without worrying about a burning candle………Then off they went back to Long Island…….another fun visit with my family!
