On my way home the other day I saw a few police officers on the side of the road near Mary Ann's Dairy Bar. There was a car that looked like it crossed over the double line and landed on the grass on the Mary Ann's side of the road. Big deal? No...but having moved up to Henryville about 5 years ago I can't count the number of times there have been accidents in that … [Read more...]
Mount Airy, Smoke Free Portion Room & Table Games
Mount Airy will soon have table games available, the tentative date is currently set at July 13th. Also, a new smoke free room opened today which is welcome news to those of us non-smokers who hate to come home smelling like a cigarette. Plus, I'm sure for those who stop by after work for a bit without wanting the spouse to know can get away with it a bit easier now :) I'm … [Read more...]
Route 715 Paved….What?!
It's a day I never thought I'd see...they actually paved 715. If you're a local you know that road is one of the windiest, bumpiest, most accident ridden roads in all of the Poconos. This past fall they started "work" which consisted of adding new grates on the side of the road. Well, whether winter came quick or they just ran out of time there were GIGANTIC holes left … [Read more...]

When my kindergartner came home and told me that he really wanted them a few months ago my response was "hunh?". He told me "we can get them at CVS mom". So on our next … [Read more...]
Kids, Pets, Cars, Heat Don’t Mix!
It amazes me that even in today's world that I need to discuss something like this but it's inevitable I'm going to see it at least a few times this year so I have to speak out now. Please do not leave your children and pets unattended in the car...EVER! Especially now that the weather is getting warmer. I have already seen 2 sets of dogs left alone in cars (car not … [Read more...]
Hiking At Tobyhanna State Park
Yesterday was a beautiful day and we wanted to get out with the kids for some outdoor fun. My husband and I ran through the list of places to go and we figured we'd head up to Tobyhanna State Park which we had visited a few times in the past. This past winter/spring they had been renovating the bathroom areas and they were shut off for a short period of time but it looks like … [Read more...]
Mollies For Breakfast
2 Weekends ago it was a rare occasion that we were all up early, no school, and the "cranky" factor was at a minimum (anyone with kids knows eating out with cranky kids is not exactly fun). We decided to head out for breakfast and wanting to try somewhere we hadn't been before we decided to go to Mollie's in Stroudsburg. My husband had been there a few times before with his … [Read more...]
