The summer solstice didn't only mark the longest day of the year
but one of the hottest!
Eloise celebrates summer
no matter what the thermometer reads.
When the land gets hot,
we seek the water.
By the lake,
and in the woods.
I have two high school classmates affiliated
with businesses that can meet your fancy
if you like both land and water
as Eloise does.
I went with Friend Jen to
Woods and River Coffee in Oil City.
It belongs to Harbor Creek 89'er,
Marcy Hall.
It has a clever menu
of drinks and breakfast sandwiches.
When Eloise goes out,
I usually pick something new and different.
I got the River Fog this morning!
It's the frothy thing in the blue mug.
Eloise highly recommends!
It was named for the river it sits next to.
The corner coffee shop has an outdoor seating area to enjoy the view
and plenty of indoor tables
surrounded by interesting artwork.
We left with a smile,
and two more house blends to go.
Not before swiping half of their hand pies
a bag of coffee beans
and a tee shirt.
I picked the blue one!
Congratulations, Marcy.
Good things happen to good people....
or maybe
Good things happen because of the hard work of good people.
The other new endeavor affiliated with a fellow Huskie
is Tour Erie!
The walking tour company,
operated by Heather Cass's daughters,
Kelly and Lauren,
laced up its sneakers this week!
Eloise cannot wait to be a tourist
in her own city
and learn more about my land and water.
Best of luck, Ladies.
See you soon.

Another idea that's too good not to share:
As Eloise is always on a quest for balance,
I'll counter a good idea
with a bad one.
This is a special mention for the locals of Firman Road:
It is a very bad idea to come between
a farmer and his rescued 13 year old,
half deaf pitbull.
For those of you following the Dozer story
and have been as perplexed
by its many twists and turns this week,
here's a bit of good news--
Dozer is home!
Enjoy your weekend!
Eloise
