Did you know that a running toilet can run your well dry? Well, we found out the hard way today when we ran out of water. Unbeknowst to us, all three of the toilets in the house had been running non-stop for who knows how long.
The first question Bill from Tim Conlan Plumbing asked me when he arrived was if any of the toilets in the house were running. Who knew that was the root of our problems?
Anyway, about Bill and Tim Conlan Plumbing - fast, efficient and economical! Once we realized what the problem was, he explained to my husband what needed to be done, shut off the valves to the toilets and then showed me how to re-fill the hot water tank.
Thank you Bill and Tim Conlan Plumbing.

Had a Friday night dinner at Panino's Pizza and Pasta last week. I ordered a lobster pasta dish from the specials menu that was simply delicious. My husband also tried one of the seafood and pasta entrées, which was excellent.
Located at the end of a strip mall on Route 25, the location allows for ample parking and easy access. They were quite crowded on a Friday evening, but we were able to quickly get a table for two. The wait staff was good and the bread served with olive oil for dipping was fantastic! We asked for extra bread to enjoy with our pasta.
I highly recommend Panino's for delicious food in a casual atmosphere.
Oh, and I almost forgot, BYOB! Bring your own bottle of wine to have with dinner!

The Newtown Drug Center is an "old-fashioned" pharmacy. It reminds me of the pharmacy where I grew up. You can, of course, get medicines & prescriptions filled. They also have cards, locally made "stuff" and a caring atmosphere.
You get personal attention and the pharmacy will even DELIVER meds if you need them to!
Not only that, but they also carry a variety of homeopathic and herbal remedies over the counter that I used to have to drive miles to find in another store.
Newtown Drug Center is located on Church Hill Road, just south of the railroad overpass, in the same building as Newtown Hardware.

Al Cocchia of Superior Home Living is a very straightforward and easy to talk to person. You know when you are working with him that not only is he telling you the true story of any situation, but also that he will go out of his way to make sure you are satisfied.
Here is a quote from a happy client:
Hello Al
Thanks for the great job. No one else expressed such concern about buying the right house like you did. We would have made a great mistake taking the other house we had an interest in, I’m sure your aware they did build across the street and we would have been looking at 34 homes from our front window. Thank thank thank you for making that clear to us – besides we love the home we’re in now we will defiantly pass out your cards to people we know.
Thank you and best of luck
Mr. and Mrs. Delvalle – we can say that now.

Longwood was a little tough for us to find using the street address, number 1204 is on the opposite side of the street from the other even-numbered businesses. It is located JUST over the Southbury/Woodbury line, so watch closely for it. There's plenty of parking in the rear of the building.
We had a delicious dinner here the other night - the lobster bisque was fantastic, the roast chicken terrific. The waitress was friendly, vivacious and attentive. The dining room had a roaring fire and the ambiance was charming.
I highly recommend dining at Longwood for any special dinner. Since we didn't stay there, I can't make any comment about the Inn, just the dining experience.

Here I am, answering my own question!
After being invited to a birthday party at Kinetic Kids, we decided to sign my daugther up for a beginner gymnastics class at Kinetic Kids. She LOVES it.
They have lots of great equipment. The instuctors are very good. They have the kids do warm-ups before they begin. The children have had a chance (in the first month) to try out the balance beam and the uneven bars!
It's located on a main road, but the road sign for 950 is nearly completely hidden by a large evergreen tree, so we passed by it at least the first two times. Kinetic Kids is located along side Middlebury Raquet Club, so you have to pass that in the parking lot before you get to the Kinetic Kids parking area.

New Morning has a terrific selection of natural foods. They also carry ALOT of other merchandise (books, clothing, kitchen accessories, household cleaning products, supplements, CD's etc.)
We just discovered some food sensitivities in the family and have needed to buy wheat-free, dairy-free and corn-free foods. We've found a lot of great stuff at New Morning.
I find the prices on some things to be a bit high, but they do offer case discounts if you know you need to buy alot of something.
Easy to get to on Route 67 in Woodbury, New Morning is set back from the road with ample parking.

Have you tried the "shopping buddy" at Stop & Shop? It allows you to scan in your order as you shop so you only have to click "Finish & Pay" to check out with your groceries already bagged. My kids...
Have you tried the "shopping buddy" at Stop & Shop? It allows you to scan in your order as you shop so you only have to click "Finish & Pay" to check out with your groceries already bagged. My kids love it, it speeds up my shopping time and it's fun.
(That's the automated part)
Stop & Shop in Newtown also has the largest variety of natural & organic foods of all the Stop & Shop's I've been to lately. They carry non-wheat flours, non-dairy sour cream, ice cream (soy delicious) and cream cheese. They even have sheep and goat cheeses in their regular cheese case. It's such a boon to those with food sensitivities to be able to get some of the specialty foods you need at the local grocery store.
