Out and About

The greetings have changed from "Merry Christmas" to "Happy New Year."  I love this time of year.

We have been cooped up for the past couple of days with family.  One little member is about to turn three years old and let me tell you…there is not a slow or quiet moment to be had.  G and I shuffle around the house with our eyes glazed over, mumbling "one fish two fish red fish blue fish."

All of this to say that life under the glare of the surly - QUIET - bunny is looking more and more attractive.


G calls the vet's office, where she is being boarded, every day or two and she's doing just fine.  They are leaving her alone, as instructed, so she can scoff at the other animals without interruption or distraction.

We woke up to snow flurries this morning but were bound and determined not to let that deter us from getting out.  We were going stir crazy and needed some grown up time.  (Note to all of you parents:  How do you ever think a coherent thought?  Like, ever?)

We went to a quaint little town a few miles up the road for some pub grub and shopping.

Lots of locally brewed beer - and bangers and mash.




My best find, though, was from an antique shop the other day.  Check it out:




Shakespeare plays, first edition, printed in Cambridge in 1894!  Apparently the owner bought them, and inscribed them, in 1896.  I still can't believe I scored these for $4-$8 apiece.

In between baby duty, I have managed to read a few excellent books.  Reviews coming when I can string together a series of complete sentences, which won't likely be for a couple more days.

Hoping you and yours are enjoying the holidays!
