10 December 2009 Photo: Holiday Party

In December we are usually either overseas doing a visit to one of our schools/programs or in Glenside, PA having a Staff Retreat. This year was a PA year. Even though I must admit, I generally enjoy the overseas travel more, I definitely have a great time when I get to hang out with colleagues and friends in PA as well! It was an exhausting week of meetings starting at 8AM and going until 5 or 6PM but I work with some of the best people I know!

I am in PA for the week and staying in my normal hotel when I am here for work. Today I FINALLY received a call from the hotel manager that accused me of stealing the pillows last week. She told me that she they would not be further investigating the missing "soft" pillows and would not be charging me. We'll see if the hotel this week finds something missing when I leave - I did use the complimentary shampoo. I hope that is ok!

This morning we headed to the Trolley Car Diner for breakfast to give my West Coast friend the East Coast diner experience. This diner was in Chestnut Hill, PA and we celebrated our last day of meetings for the week.

Microbrews have been all the rage for several years now. My friend Kelly's husband works for one of these microbreweries in PA. While I am not a beer drinker, my colleagues certainly enjoyed the wares that she brought with her to Glenside this week. Check out the many different types of beer that Weyerbacher brews here http://www.weyerbacher.com. Try one if you see them around!

21 June 2009 Photo: Mr Potato Head Is Old

It is Retreat Week for my job. Once a year, my colleagues from all over the U.S. come together for a week in Glenside, PA to discuss topics, address issues, regroup and get ready for the next year. We stay in nearby Chestnut Hill which is a quaint neighborhood in suburban Philly. This toy store is just up the road from our hotel and I was attracted by Mr Potato Head in the window. Did you know Mr Potato Head is almost 60? I remember many a day spent in the toy store in my hometown...what more could a kid want (well, other than money to buy all the toys)?
