It was a nice (although very hot) August day and so Dr Len and I decided to explore the region around and above Lambertville anding up at this restaurant in Stockton where the menu was eclectic with pictures of the owners and their employees on front and back along with a welcoming sign that explained it was Miel's and not Mel's as I had assumed but more on that later. Dr Len pondered his meal but I had fresh fruit as he had split pea soup and corn bread and focussed on his split pea soup and then his corn bread as my Jersey tomato and corn soup arrived and our waitress explained that Miel's was pronounced in a way that made it clear that Miel's provided meals (and good ones at that!). After taking this collection sign in the bathroom we walked along the canal until we saw these ducks on the pond with bridge infrastructure above and these signs marking the trail ahead.

Back at home, Jeff and OtherJane arrived for dinner but it took a few shots before I could get Jeff and OtherJane in the right light and then we could proceed to have a family dinner with this bottle of wine which inspired me to make these faces from my food which must have inspired OtherJane Jeff Jane and Suzanne.

Later that week, Jane, Ben and I took a long walk joined towards the end by Suzanne and I attempted to use up the remaining juice in my battery so that I would have a fresh battery for the next day's festivities. Ben was incognito before we began and wished he was incognito when we reached Whitman College with the dedication sign up and many parts of the outside in place as we looked down a corridor saw the sundial and recorded the massive trees that had been moved into place. Next we went to the Icahn building where we recorded the structure that Frank Gehry had wrought and next we went to see how quickly the armory was coming down and made our way into the stadium to look across at Jadwin gym and on to the climbing wall and the corridors int eh stadium before Jane posed for the obligatory phone booth picture when we exited and made our way towards the new Lewis Library and made our way through the Serra sculpture for these artistic photos and then were on tot he Weaver Tigers before we ran into Mark Killingsworth who was on his way to Shabbat services which inspired Jane to do a serious tying job on Ben's shoes since he had abandoned the tight laces that had Dork for Life written all over them. After we took this photo in front of a house, the child living there came out to drive us away so we went to the bank so I could take the safety deposit box into this cubicle before we marched on past Cosmo Bleu where Jane would be pedicured up later and then down Nassau Street until we met Peter Brown as Ben, Jane and I emerged from Panera and this was the French toast bagel onto which I spread my jam making this sandwich which sustained me until we met Suzanne who had come from the beauty parlor and went with her to Hamilton Jewelers where this chocolate told the whole story. Our next stop was The Place to Bead where we saw Kaylen through the window and after recording the rules and the sign Ben led the way to lure Suzanne away from the store so that Suzanne could read the review of the new Harry Potter book aloud in Hines Park as I recorded Palmer Square on a quiet August Saturday as the review progressed before the bride passed by on her way from La Jolie and the Review was completed (now we don't have to read the book). as we admired Witherspoon street's sign and the many guide signs including this one about not parking before we considered walking down the street after Ben took a picture of his camera with mine (but avoided hysteresis) and next we met up with the Soup Nazi who posed with Ben in backlight and then Ben posed with the Soup Nazi in good light. Our next stop was Jazams where we purchased this puzzle and then headed past the fountain to the Pawtisserie where this sign described their joint arrangement with the Bent Spoon which I didn't understand and then we were sorry to discover that the Bank of Princeton was closed; so no pennies. I did record the sign for Chambers at Nassau and Chambers both on the wall and in the sky and then took this self portrait in the obligatory phone booth before the battery gave out and we could begin our journey home.
