We're home from Vermont. No exclamation point. I'm glad to see Annie and Thom, who stayed behind, but I miss the 3 feet of snow and the mother's cozy house and the sister and brother and aunt and uncle and nieces and nephew. Isn't it curious, as I look back on that sentence, that I put snow before family? That deserves an exclamation!
I haven't opened the store since Christmas Eve. I have no intention of opening today. I do think I'll go in and start red-lining for a huge sale starting next Tuesday.
There are lots of vermont photos to upload and stories to tell. But I'll save them for Monday. I just wanted to check in today. There's a tree to be undressed and tossed. SO MUCH LAUNDRY to be washed, dried and put away. Cupboards are bare and need to be restocked. I'm home. Much as I love Vermont, I know I will settle into my routine happily once I'm settled.
Happy New Year!
The Lord is great and worthy of our praise; no one can understand how great He is. Psalm 145:3

About Me
- kibbe
- I'm a 46 year old mother who homeschools one, watches another homeschool herself and sends a third off to the dear little school on the other side of town. I'm a mom trying to come to terms that two of my offspring will be leaving this home and heading out sooner than I can grasp in my heart. I'm a mom who is trying to transition to that fact by slowly letting out the apron strings that bind them to me.

working on the tree too. It is leaning towards the Nanticoke. Laundry almost caught up-waiting to hear from Hayley. Skyping with Anna P.
Hooray! It's so good to see you back in the world of blog! Looking forward to your pictures...I'm sure Vermont was gorgeous. We still have Ukrainian Christmas and OLD New Year's Eve to go...though I might take the trees down between Orthodox Christmas and the wedding...
so glad you're back, missed you. Tim and i just got back from Wmsburg for a few days alone :>) and i am facing the same things: laundry, shopping for food and cooking it, getting ready to start school again, etc. etc. But i rejoice in the gift of time away with my husband!
