This Perfectly Imperfect Life

These red Tulips stretch a block long, but because of traffic (and no sidewalks here) this was the best of two shots I was able to take last week. It's a dangerous road so I wasn't taking too many chances. I look forward to them every year. Directly across the street, white Tulips run nearly the same length! (They weren't open yet as of this photo). Dueling via Tulips, imagine that!

Head on over to my (original) blog for two new "Keeping It Local" posts: Christmas Shopping Good Eats I'm working on a "Whispers Of Our Past" slideshow of Christmas At History House which I'll hopefully have up soon. I didn't realize I took so many photos when we were there last Saturday!

The diner downtown is owned & run by wonderful people and their food is delish. They've made subtle changes since taking over and have created a warm, cozy and inviting atmosphere. If we want a home-cooked meal without having to make it ourselves, this is where we head. (And they're the only place in this area - heck in central NJ - that serve grits!)
