......And a happy new year.

Well, we had a lovely Christmas here.... a classic New England Christmas.
Home for Christmas Eve, Morning brunch and presents with my Mom,
and a trip up to Vermont to see more family late Christmas day,
and overnight at the Norwich Inn. We came home to a blessedly un-ravaged house.
We were worried, because even though our kittens are grown up in size, they are
 far from grown up in temperament... Luke decided he loved climbing the
Christmas tree, and hiding in the branches! Oh Dear!



Vermont was beautiful, as usual, and we got to visit our favorite general store,
Dan & Whit's in Norwich.
The best general store on the face of the planet.



Where their motto is:



And it's absolutly true :)

Dan & Whit's is a national treasure...it's not fancy, it's not neat (not by a LONG shot) it's not trendy.
It's got Carhart's, Feed, Sushi and ammo...... thermal underwear, toys, wine and maple sugar candy...
smoked salmon, finish nails, bait and batteries....
You get the idea. And to top it all off, it's magical!...
it's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.... REALLY!

Another national treasure is the Norwich Inn which is right next door to Dan & Whit's..



The Welcoming front porch...



And their poor moose! Oh!! The Indignity!!




May you all have a glorious New Year!!!!
