New England Christmas

I have been living in New England, more specifically Cape Cod, for almost two months now.  When I moved up, I was still wearing flip flops and tee shirts.  Now, I learned how to layer to keep the wind at bay, I know how to keep my feet warm, and I have also started wearing a knit cap to keep my head warm and to keep the wind out of my ears.   One thing I know for sure...the wind rarely stops blowing.  Not sure if it is because we are surrounded by water or not, but it sure has me styling BIG hair most days!

I sure miss my boys and hope to see them in the not too distant future, but in the short amount of time I have been here, I have gotten my new drivers license, Cape Cod license plates on my car, and I got a job!  Yes, a job, and in a much shorter length of time than it took to find one in Greenville.  I am the front office person for Miracle Ear, in South Dennis, and it is exactly 3 miles from our house.  I got lucky!

We have decorated our tiny house as best we can, given the fact that we have no room to do much.  We have garland and lights outside, and wreaths on the doors.  No village, though.  No place for it.  Next year....

Tonight we drove down Route 6A with the intent to take photos of some of the more beautifully decorated historic homes located there.  The phone didn't take such good ones, though so we are going back tomorrow night armed with the camera.  Hopefully I will have some lovely ones to share.

Have been baking Christmas cookies for the last few days.  Tomorrow I finish the baking, and start packing boxes to ship out for Christmas.   Sit tight...pictures to follow!
