The next day we headed up to Vermont for a few days - a change of scenery. We had dinner with hubby's brother and his family. Stopped at the Vermont Country Store. The next day we checked out the Church Street market place and took a drive through the islands on Lake Champlain. Heading home we took a tour of the Vermont Teddy Bear factory. And the hay bale sculptures on the drive up were so cool I had to take pictures.
Since then it's been oil changes, chiropractor appointments, cleaning and grocery shopping. The Christmas decorations are all put away. We decided to leave the furniture we moved out of the living room out. It looks so much more open. I've been cooking in my new apron and splurged on a few items at the kitchen store with my Christmas money. Hubby made a dump run and a box of items for the tag sale room went with him. I'm really trying to bring something in only if something else is going out. Hubby cleaned his man cave and now I really need to work on my office/pantry/craft room. Although I look around and it's really not as bad as I claim it is. It's been fun to just putter around the house. We've been reading, napping and playing games. I have a few needlepoint projects I want to start.
Tonight we celebrate the New Year with the kids. It's been our tradition to not eat supper but have an appetizer party. Everyone plans the menu and I cook. I'm happy and so are they. It also helps me stay awake that long. We have friends coming over with their kids as well. I see a night of food, wii and laughs.
