Finally coming out from under.....

To arrive at the moment, post birthday, post winter (we think) and pre summer fun, I will present a photo display to capture the high points. The best xmas present to us was Priscilla II, who arrived around the holiday and has given us something to dream about since. Here she is.

The big window in the rear and side rear windows are the bedroom, which we can see is ideal. We have customized it  to our liking. John has upgraded the vent fans. We have removed the big TV in the main living area and will replace it with a bookcase/magazine rack. Etc. We will be ready to try her out in May, right Here and then off to Lake Champlain in June. 

Here are a few looks at the interior.

It's time to .......

It won't be long....

I am thankful for.....and

And Cranberry Curd with shortbread walnut crust

and making pizza

and that it only burned on the edge

and the roasted vegetables

and the organic Costco chicken that was roasted to perfection in the wood fired oven, and the snow storm that never came and the warmth and good feeling of my home.

DONE!

Goodbye to Carla

Today I said goodbye to a 1984 Citroen 2 CV club which I had the pleasure of owning and driving and appreciating for two years. Named Carla, for Carla Bruni, and what a good car name, she will live in Barnet, VT and I have visiting and driving rights next spring. How cool is that.
Here she is when she first arrived and then her last day, and some days in between.
