Mt. Nittany Today

It is muddy! I still want to go, but I am warning you to wear shoes with tread. Sneakers may be slippery. A walking stick will be helpful. If, when we get there, it is too muddy, we may need to walk up the road. Not what I want to do, so we'll try to go up the trail.

It is 10:00 am now, and so far, the hike is a "GO"

Let's Walk Up Mt. Nittany!

I'm going to be hiking up Mt. Nittany on Sunday afternoon, May 4, at 1:00 pm. I'd love to have people join me. For those who do not know where the trailhead is, we will meet in the parking lot of the Lemont post office, and then head out to the base of Mt. Nittany.

Please wear appropriate footwear, and I recommend long pants. Some people may want walking sticks and water bottles.

It will take between 20 - 30 minutes to climb up. The top is flat and has well marked trails with nice vistas of our community. To go up, do the trail, and go down, should take at least 2 hours. Some people may just want to go up and then down.

I hope the weather cooperates. If not, check this site. I'll re-schedule.
This is not a Weight Watchers event! Just a bunch of friends taking a walk in the woods.

Hope to see you there.

Yummy Chocolate 2 Point Treat



Mini Microwave Triple Chocolate Cake

PER SERVING (entire recipe): 123 calories, 1g fat, 201mg sodium, 28g carbs, 0.75g fiber, 12g sugars, 2g protein -- POINTS® value 2*

Yes, this is as good as it sounds. And no, we don't consider using a microwave "baking"!

Ingredients:
2 tbsp. Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix, Devil's Food
2 tbsp. Cool Whip Free, thawed
1 tbsp. fat-free vanilla yogurt
1 tbsp. Hershey's Lite chocolate syrup, divided

Directions:
Stir together the whipped topping and half of the syrup, and then place mixture in the freezer to firm up while you prep the rest of your dessert. Next, in a very small microwave-safe dish (like a ramekin), combine cake mix and yogurt. (Don't worry if it seems like a small amount. Your cake will puff up -- we promise!) Stir until smooth and blended. Microwave for 1 minute, and then allow to cool for 5 minutes. Once cake has cooled, remove chocolate topping from freezer, and spoon it over your cake. Finally, drizzle the remaining chocolate syrup on top. Enjoy!

MEETING CANCELED-Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2008

Good Morning,

It is much too icy for a meeting today. I have been told that the schools will be closing.
Apparently the roads were plowed last night, but then early this morning more ice continued to fall making the roads even worse. I'll bet the sidewalks don't look so great either.

Sorry so many meetings are being canceled because of weather. I think we will have meetings on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. See you then
