Good Morning All,
How are you and how was your weekend? Ours was very nice. Fletch and I went out to breakfast on Saturday morning. That was a great treat - I love going out to breakfast. The rest of that day was spent on good things - books, knitting and stitching. I cannot complain.
Sundy morning we met Colin, Mailing, Iris, Bonnie and Zhongren at the Colebrookdale Train Station in Boyertown.
Such a beautiful train station with elegant gingerbread trim. It was mobbed!! I think the train was full. The cars were all beautiful. White linen tablecloths, cloth napkins, fancy silverware and nice china. There were fresh flowers and chocolate truffles on each table. Wine and champagne and even a boy (teenager) strolling through the cars playing his violin. I kept expecting to turn around and see Poirot! LOL. It really was fun. The food was surprisingly good - French toast, eggs and sausage for brunch. And everyone received a long stemmed carnation as we stepped off the train. The ride goes through what is known as the Hidden Valley. It was pretty with snow still on the ground and I'm betting it would be gorgeous in the Fall with colorful leaves.
We got home around 1:30 and yours truly took a nice, long nap! Then we went over to C&M's for dinner. We had coq au vin with mashed potatoes - a perfect meal for a winter's night. And chocolate mousse with whipped cream for dessert. And, of course, wine. We were all beyond stuffed at the end of the meal.
On our way over to C&M's we had a bit of rain, but as we left to come home, snow was falling. This morning we woke to a few new inches of snow - the kind that coats all the tree branches. Very pretty (but I am tired of snow). We had been commenting that the snow has been sticking around for such a long, long time. And then Fletch heard on the news that this is the longest a snowfall has stayed on the ground since 1963! At least the new snow is still pretty and white and has covered up a lot of the grimy patches.
Nowhere I need to go today, so I will be staying in. There are a few chores I should take care of - time will tell whether I do or not. I hope your Monday is a nice one - enjoy!
You ate well this weekend! We went out to breakfast with J&J this weekend and I loved it, too. Going out for breakfast is my favorite unless Ryan is cooking for us. I wasn't too happy with the new snow we got overnight, but nobody asked me whether I wanted any more. I hope you have a lovely Monday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic weekend, Vera!! Almost all our snow is gone and it has left behind a huge muddy, wet mess... Your train excursion sounded delightful! What a fun treat!
