A Winter Get Away for Two
It's been a few weeks.
I could say I've been busy.. I have but the real reason is my home computer died. Dead as a doornail until I give someone money to fix it. I'm pretty bummed about it. It's likely the power supply but it could be more than that and how far do I go before I just buy a new machine for the same money?
Other than that things have been really great. We had an absolutely wonderful weekend this past week. Johanna and I both got out of work early on Friday due to the snow. It was such a pretty day. The snow was light and fluffy not very cold or windy. I suggested we start a fire in our outdoor fire pit and enjoy the snow while having some hot chocolate. Conditions were Perfect! A little winter wonderland to kick-off our weekend. Ahhhhhhhhh...
Saturday morning we got up and started to pack and get ready to head up to The Inn on Newfound Lake. J and I had reservations to spend Saturday night up there to relax and see our Inn Keepers friends Larry & Phelps and who ever else we may run into at the tavern. Ellie enjoyed herself at Grandma & Grandpa's with Auntie Cherie visiting as well.
When we got up there we headed to the office and saw Larry. We chatted for a bit and then headed through the kitchen to the Inn. It felt like that scene in "Good Fella's" or "Swingers". Got settled and we just hung out reading and playing games while listening to music on my ipod. Occasionally we'd look out the window onto Newfound Lake to see tons of ice fishermen and snowmobiler's crowding the lake. Turn out there was a tournament going on. It's one of those things that I want to try it looks like a fun community to be a part of out there. Just what we needed.
We got ready for a wonderful dinner down in the Inn's dining room. Larry expected us to be in the Tavern... We will be just after dinner. Despite a coughing fit the dinner and service were amazing. We took our time and enjoyed their award winning Chocolate torte for dessert.
Now on to the tavern. We sat at the bar and refilled our wine and beer's and met some other folks staying at the Inn. Mostly from MA. We sat and chatted for hours and the room started to thin out and now the locals and friends remained. That's usually when the party starts.
Next morning we got up had breakfast at the Inn and headed off to Tilton (The outlet mall) to get Ellie a present for being an absolute doll for Grandma & Grandpa. When we arrived to get Elle she was happy to see us but didn't run to us as she usually does... A sign of she didn't miss us too much... She was having to much fun playing and cooking with Grandma & Auntie.
We headed home and that was that!
A Great Weekend.
