It is Still Friday No Matter What!

Hi friends! We are still on vacation in my son’s in-law addition to his beautiful ski chalet in the mountains of Vermont. We are so sore from skiing, snowshoeing, and walking around the adorable upscale town in Stowe, Vermont. I only wish I felt comfortable enough to shop in the gorgeous boutiques, but we are playing it safe. It’s Friday, my favorite day, so hubs made me a martini from the loaded bar in our little home away from home. I made some appetizers in our adorable kitchen. Hubs should be home soon with dinner. We ordered from one of the many terrific restaurants in our little town. We decided to try their fish tacos and shrimp tacos along with several sides. We will definitely return to our home in Connecticut next week. When? Not sure. Our son specified that we can stay here as long as we want. I do have an appointment for my first covid vaccine and don’t want to miss that! Sorry if I missed some of your discussions and notifications. Vacations will do that.

Thanks for understanding. I’ve been trying to keep up during down time, but we haven’t had too much of it. Your boyfriend must be in seventh heaven!

That makes sense @DianneN He's an artist and should protect his art.

@rebelann Thanks for understanding. He doesn't want the world to know about all that he owns. Another reason why he and I left Facebook.

I don't carry my phone out in the snow. It's too precious to me, but I do have a ton of photos of my son's place. Unfortunately, he didn't give me permission to use them on myLot. When we return, I will let him decide what I can show if anything.

Thanks, Faye. I never thought I would love the snow so much! To be honest, as cold as it is, skiing and snowshoeing keep us really warm. I can't wait to get those covid shots. A dream come true!!!!

We are as safe here as we would be if we had stayed home. We are staying in an in-law addition to our younger son's ski chalet. It's isolated on a mountain without a soul in sight and oodles of land just for us. Our son isn't with us. Should return home sometime next week unless I break something skiing.

Thanks and you are right! It's safe here and gorgeous! We've been skiing and snowshoeing every day. I'll bet you never thought that you'd hear me say that I enjoy snow so much! We rent the equipment, because we hope to have fins on our feet next year.
