Fed up

It's time to step off the eaten path and head back home.

Thank you to my mom, Julie, and Rose for sharing a wonderful winter wonderland trip to remember! Their enthusiasm and good humor know no bounds. (But they do have cookie limits.) Julie and Rose took beautiful iPhone 8 Plus photos that they generously shared with me and therefore with you. Special thanks also to Julie for all the excellent trip planning — she made it happen—and for keeping me laughing no matter how map-challenged or trapped in "escape room" bathrooms (why so many unmarked doors??) we were.

Thanks also to Celeste, Uschi, Chris, Ric, and Vanessa for all their advice and recommendations.

Here's my mom's trip theme song to the tune of "Dashing through the snow."
——
Dashing through the snow,
Christmas night and day
O'er the rails we fly
Stations flashing by.

Bells on churches ring
Stalls are very bright
What fun it is to look and shop
Drink glühwein til we drop.

Ornaments! Cookies, too!
Pastries by the score
What fun it is to eat our way
Through France and Germany!

Thanks to you, dear reader(s), for following along. Kathy S. said she gained 5 pounds just reading my blog!

Christmas comes in about 13 days so be sure to put your shoe on the sill.
