kittenmmm's blog post - Winding Down and Gearing Up

We had a lovely Thanksgiving as I hope all of you did. The day after we worked around and in the house and then took Saturday as a day off of everything. We took a long ride on back roads and travelled to the Berkshires, the Green Mountains and the Monadnock region. That ride took us through 4 states ... Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire. We left the house about 10:30 am and got back about 7:30 pm.
On the way we found an old diner and had a late breakfast and broke in a new waitress. Poor thing, she was so flustered that she had messed up our order. It really wasn't a big thing and she had a lovely personality so I think she'll end up doing just fine.
We stopped in Vermont and took a picture of a glass like lake that Wolf insisted had to be frozen ... it was so cold. We enjoyed the view from Route 9 ... it so resembles the Shenandoah's in Virginia.
We watched all the shoppers roaming around the little towns, appreciated the white steepled churches in the town squares and enjoyed the lights put up for the season. Our favorite moment had to be a road sign we saw in Massachusetts. I believe it was in Wilbraham....although I could be wrong. It was a typical caution sign for moose however it also had a squirrel on it...can anyone say Moose and Squirrel? The moose looked normal but the squirrel was obviously Rocky from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show. Now there's a town with a sense of humor.

And now it's Monday and we're back to the usual schedule. Ah well, it could be worse...we could be unemployed.

Enjoy the season
