Snow!
We heard it's supposed to snow tonight! I hope it does. But only 1-3 inches like they're saying. Otherwise it could create difficulties getting places like the post office (yes, again!) and the furniture warehouse pickup place.
It was a busy weekend around these parts. Yesterday I sang my first performance with my new chorus, at a Christmas party. It was great fun! I've really missed performing.
Then, at 4 pm yesterday afternoon, the buyer of our blue and white recliner arrived to pick up the chair. Yes, it's the end of an era. If you've visited our home (wherever that may have been) anytime in the last ten years, you probably remember this chair. You can barely see the back of it in this picture of our family room at our old house in Hamden. We bought it at one of my favorite stores, the fabulous O. W. Houts in State College, Pennsylvania. It was a hardworking little Action by Lane recliner that traveled with us to Connecticut and later to Munich (and back). It was Marty's (and Ziggy's) favorite place to relax.
When we got back from Munich, we decided it was time for a change. So we got new living room funiture. We didn't know what to do with the chair, since neither of us had a vehicle big enough to carry it away, so I finally listed it on eBay. After one false start (where a man from Indiana bought it, not noticing that he'd have to pick it up in Connecticut), we found success! Now our old recliner is in southern Connecticut with a nice lady who showed up yesterday in a Jeep and took it off our hands. She even wrote me a note to let me know it was all settled in! I'm happy it's going to keep on being used. And now we can get new chairs for our dining room table! (We didn't have room for them as long as the extra recliner was still here.)
Yay for eBay!
Today we ran a bunch of errands and finished up the Christmas shopping, mostly down in Hamden. I intended to do some baking today, but with all the other stuff I had to do this afternoon, I just didn't have time. Guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow after work. Maybe I can at least make some of the cookie dough before bed tonight. I'm not doing many things, just cheese rounds and butterballs. And if I'm feeling brave, maybe divinity. (I can't believe the cheese rounds aren't on the recipe page. I'll have to rectify that.)
Hope everyone's had a nice weekend!
