Kerri-Lee's Blog

Hi All,

And you thought I forgot about you!  Never.  In fact, bloggers, gather close, I have a surprise for you... only I can't tell you just yet what it is.  It's a big fat secret, but we may have a new home, our blog room may soon look a little different.  You know, same kinda place, just different paint on the walls.  Stay tuned :)

Alright, so Happy St. Paddy's Day.  You better be wearing green!

I am at work, working on "the secret" but wanted to at least check in, so here's a little rambling about... well, Lambertville!

Last week I had an event to go to, and the organizers knew I would be rushing from work, so they sent a car to come and get me.  I tried to pretend it was totally normal for me to be hopping into a chauffeured vehicle, with a guy named "Joe" opening the door for me, but it wasn't, and it was such a treat.  Partly because Joe was just a really great guy.

He said he was from Lambertville, and I couldn't have been more excited to hear that.  There are many towns in the Delaware Valley that I love, but Lambertville, NJ is one of the tops. 

I kind of "discovered" a couple of years ago, when my friend Jodi Applegate and her husband bought a cottage across the river in New Hope.  Every chance I got to go visit her, became an exploration of the quaint BYOB's on both sides of the river, and soon I had my favorites.   But what struck me most of all, is that this hidden gem is just a drive from NYC and Philadelphia, and it was somehow able to maintain all of it's originality and uniqueness. 

Is it possible, that in this age of strip malls, shopping centers, and towns that look identical no matter where you go in America, that a town this charming could still exist?

I'm so glad it does.

Ciao for now,

KL
