I'm sitting in my kitchen nook sipping some of the signature blend from Zumo's Cafe', aka the Electric City Roasting Company. I just finished grinding a pound of Blue Moose that my sister Marion gave me. I'd pit this coffee against the best. The Cafe is extraordinary. Once you visit Zumos it calls you back. I'd pick up a cup to go on my way to visit Mom in the hospital and we'd share it together. So glad Mom is home now.
The picture here is my beautiful wife, Liz, posing next to a portrait of Albert Einstein, one of her heroes. Liz, known by her friends for cheeriness, Christian scholarship, and quality communication in preaching has developed over the years a fondness for reading subjects like physics and the history of astronauts and space endeavors. This is not the person I married 16 years ago. She's more.
The picture is located at Cooper's Seafood Restaurant, arguably the best restaurant in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We stopped in for lunch because my sister Brenda gave us a gift certificate, and so we needed to use it. As I was giving baby Meredith a tour I bumped into Paul Cooper, my older brother Leo's best friend. He then stopped by "the Whale Room" to our table. Paul wanted to make the trek up Moosic Mountain with Leo and I on Christmas Eve but was waylaid because of the busy Season. Later, he graciously took our check.
Though these establishments are worth a pilgrimage to Scranton alone, the best feeling leaving the Electric City is knowing that Mom is home now and her health is improving.
