This picture doesn't do it justice, but the barn at Arden Farms is magical at night.
Certainly a delicious culinary extravaganza Ilio DiPaolo's this past week.
Wednesday's were made for Wine Night and catching up with good friends and Coco on Main St. was the perfect place to do so.
This week has been a little aggravating and needless to say I am happy that it is Friday. On the agenda for the weekend is volunteering at the zoo and catching up with some friends today. Have a nice weekend!
I went to the new D'Avolio location on Main St. downtown this week for a meeting and it was awesome. A lot of people were there once 12:30 hit, but the food was great and it makes for good lunch spot downtown.
One Buffalo beer was tried this past Sunday at the Bills game - Go Bills!

I'm looking forward to attending this event tomorrow night with Muse Jar!

Its the last weekend of August and for some that means summer is over {even though we still have a few more weeks of it}. Labor Day is right around the corner and school will be beginning soon for those little ones. This weekend is full of fun activities to do between the Lewiston Jazz Festival, a baseball game or hitting up the Elmwood Arts Festival. Enjoy whatever it is that you will be doing. -B

This week has been crazy and I'm happy to say its Friday! While there was some sadness filled in the week with goodbyes, there were also some positive things that took place - like me running my fastest 5k and celebrating two of my really good friends birthdays. With the negative comes the positive and vice versa. I'm looking forward to the weekend and just enjoying the little things around me. I hope you enjoy yours at well!
And if you're at the Brewer's Festival tomorrow at Canalside, stop by and say hi! I'll be at the front table!
