The new sign is finished, and I love it! It will go outside of the building, and hopefully will entice people to come in and take a look. I opened the store today, though I only stayed a few hours--I had to rush home and watch football, and yes they won--and Harriet came in and took over. But lots of people came by, and everyone seemed relaxed and happy. It's nice to have Christmas in a small town. There aren't many stores, no shopping malls, not much traffic. People know how to take it easy and enjoy holiday lights and music, food, friends and family. Last night we had friends over for dinner and ate latkes with sour cream and applesauce, chicken soup with matzoh balls, beef, broccoli and lemon mousse (all cooked by my husband and oldest son). Tonight we went out to Peekamoose, a wonderful restaurant in Big Indian, named after a nearby mountain. I had butternut squash soup and gnocchi. And tomorrow we'll make a delicious Christmas dinner. Monday and Tuesday we'll be in Manhattan, and then back to earth.
Thank you for accompanying me on this journey, my friends. I hope that you are warm, well fed, and in good company.

I enjoyed your journey report, especially about food, despite almost of them are unfamilliar to me.Your husband seems to be a good cooker. How nice! By the way, my dog dislikes football games beause my hasband shout at TV when some player does miskick. She feels like being scolded at and goes to a corner in the kitchen.

ReplyDeleteJen,
ReplyDeleteyour new sign is wonderful, perfect to entice folks in to take a look! Sounds like you're having a wonderful Holiday season! Can't wait to see what the new year brings us! I agree, the first bedroom is one of my favs also but I do love that "library room with the leather chairs. My dream would be for Ralph Lauren to stop by and decorate my whole house! That is so my perfect style dream!
