Well, we got up to Vermont without any problems, and the house was in great shape.  A nice layer of snow around and the finished porch in the back was lovely.  Even without heat, and it was cold outside, the sun kept the room toasty warm.

We went out shopping for pants for David – his are beginning to fall off, so we needed to reduce the waist size a bit!  Some great bargains too!  Then, dinner with my Dad, but not after a nap and a few episodes of Rhoda (I love Hulu).  We went to a local place, Chauncey’s. The food is fine, and we all had a good time.

Then home, and I failed to make a fire.  Need to get some kindling for tomorrow.  It is supposed to be clear, but cold for the next few days, so  fire would be nice.  David made the trip upstairs and went to bed, and Joy is snuggled in bed as I type this.  We didn’t do any reading (I forgot the book) or listening to Julia, and I will double up on blog reading tomorrow.  We are also planning a musical evening, so we will sing some songs.  David was so happy to be back in Vermont and able to go upstairs – what an accomplishment!
