Unraveling

Leaf Peeping

One of the primary reasons for traveling to New England was to see the fall foliage.

Coming in to Manchester, NH, we could see it from the air.

Down below it was even better.

Oh my.

Golden leaves on the pond.

Right outside the front door.

Intense.

Vibrant.

Extraordinary.

I could go on and on....

Go here if you really wanna see more.

We are now officially leaf peepers!

 

We're Back!

It was...how shall I say this?...a phenomenal vacation. Just what we both needed. But now, we are back in town and expected to get back into the swing of things immediately.

More later. For now, I leave (hee) you with this.

Q is for...

...Quietly slipping away. Sorry, no photo as I'm posting from the iPhone. After a lovely dinner at Wood Tavern on Wednesday, we finished out the work week and are now on our way to the east coast. Thanks, everyone, for your good wishes. We both feel pretty lucky to have weathered so many years together. Mr. Celia knows how to treat a girl. Something sparkly for my finger, and now some Quiet time in the country.

Now, we'll be turning off, tuning in, and dropping out for ten days. I didn't quite catch up with the ABC-Along, but y'all know now what R will be for. Check in again after that very popular east coast yarny event.

That's it. I Quit.

Enduring Love

Thirty years ago today, I married my best friend...my lover....the man of my dreams.

And tonight, he's taking me out for a celebratory dinner.

P is for...

...Preciptiation!

Last night we had the first rain of autumn. This morning you can still see the dampness on the ground. In this normally very dry place, it's delicious to be lulled to sleep by the music of the raindrops and the wind. Before I went to bed last night, I took the time to savor that experience by soaking in the tub, with all the windows open.

Ahhhhhhhh!

O is for...

...O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m

That's it.

N is for...

...New England!

This is just a glimpse of what's inside Mr. Celia's travel folder.  In about ten days we will be traveling to the East Coast to spend ten days in New England. We're flying in to Manchester, New Hampshire and staying with friends whose family has a farm near there.  Hiking, jigsaw puzzles, foliage viewing, lobster eating, quainte village visiting, etc. Awesome.

We celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary on October 8, and it was the Mr.'s idea to take this trip. I have to say, it was a perfect choice. He's already researched the golf courses in the area, mostly because there will be two days when I will be otherwise occupied. Yes, my friends, I will be going to RHINEBECK this year. And for those two days Mr. Celia can golf and watch all the football he wants to on TV while I have free reign to meet up, shop, and whatever else I might want to do at the New York Sheep and Wool Festival. We'll stay in Hyde Park and he's agreed to drop me off and pick me up, whereever and whenever I decide to I'm done.

So, tell me. Who else is going to be there?
