We are definitely on the backside of Spring sliding into summer. I wore sandals outside the house on Sunday...it's like celebrating the first daffodil or the first cherry blossom. Apparently this year peonies and sandals bloomed simultaneously.

I have a bluetooth headset...one more step down the techno/cyber highway. And here is my pledge. I will use it when driving but I WILL NOT wear it to coffee with friends, while walking through the mall, strolling down the street with my husband or while in any other way conversing with friends and family. I'm not sure why, but I really don't like people who wear their bluetooth like a badge...it seems to say...see I'm important, I could get a phone call at any moment now and it's more important than you! With the exception of calls from my architect or from my mom at odd hours or from my son when he's called 3 times in a row...all my calls can go straight to voice mail if I'm engaged in conversations with other people. I don't need to make a bluetooth fashion statement. But it IS really nice for the car!

We've had a couple nights out with friends this week and ate at two new restaurants (new to us) that we liked very much. Las Serapes in Horsham is a small Mexican restaurant (with a great Tequila bar) in a small strip mall in Horsham. Excellent food that is a step above and beyond the typical burrito and taco plate establishment. Solas is a small BYOB on Lancaster in Bryn Mawr (right across the street from the Acme). This spot has housed at least 4 different restaurants over the past 8 years and this one is the winner! Delightful decor, not too noisy but with a pleasing hum to the place. The food was really great. My Austrialian lamb was perfect with a great relish. Jerry had the Cobio (a wild gulf fish) also fabulous. Judy had the pork cooked two ways...and she couldn't keep exclaiming over the quality. Jack could have eaten 5 of his short rib appetizer. The pineapple/basil sorbet for dessert was spectacular...refreshing and smoothe (not icy). Food portions were just the right size...not too small (so the price seemed right) but not SO huge that you couldn't finish your plate without waddling home and groaning for hours. Our waiter was Cindy who had a fabulous sense of humor and just the right amount of attentiveness. It's been awhile since we've been excited about a restaurant on the Main Line!
