NEST in Mystic, Ct

 George and I went to visit Marcia at NEST back in October.....I know, where does the time go? I'd meant to share it much earlier. 

I finally got the photos transferred from my phone. For some strange reason I couldn't get them to transfer so I emailed them to myself. Pretty easy:)  Anyways here they are. I'm sure the shop is now full of beautiful Christmas decor. Marcia and her staff are amazing. 

In case you didn't know they moved from their old location just down the road. 

Say hi to the girls for me.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just wanted to say how much I am thankful for this year. It's what I love about Thanksgiving. It's a day to stop and reflect on what is most important. Our family, our friends and of course our beloved pets. 

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving day enjoying a day filled with loved ones around a bountiful table.     I still haven't gone grocery shopping yet. 

I wish I could do a little dancing and singing in the aisles like Sara.

You think I should? 

Thankful

This song has been resonating in my head today( maybe because George was playing it when I came downstairs this morning) I thought you might like to click on it while viewing the photos. They are all from our little town of Old Saybrook.

We came thru Sandy very well only minor damage. We don't live far from Long Island sound but not close enough to get flooded. I hadn't been able to write a post until now, not because of lack of power. We only lost it at home for a day and not at all at the work. I just couldn't take my mind off the people who have lost so much especially the ones in and around NYC and Jersey coastline. I know you have heard it all on the news and seen it on TVso I won't repeat it. Lets just say it's overwhelming and heartbreaking X 100.  I wish so much I could go there and help. Makes me want to not open the shop and go and see what I can do. Puts everything in a different light.    Things that you thought were so important now seem silly. 

I've been thinking a lot about our lives and wanting to make changes. Simplify. I thought I had been doing that little by little but I want to even more. I'm not even sure how to do more....or should I say less. It's funny where life takes you. You wonder how you got there. Is it where you want to be? 

Well for now I have to get back to work......

see what I mean:)

Miss you all and sorry for my lack of visits
