"I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve"
Fresh snow is the prettiest sight! Our camp is in the "winter wonderland" area of New York, and snow lovers flock to the area to snowmobile, ski, snowboard and snowshoe. If you are a business owner, you pray for lots of snow and the tourists will come! The photos above were taken at the hardware store near my camp of their winter windows. The ski mountain is open, and I love seeing the signs for the trails. We hike the mountain in the summer, and it's one of our favorite hikes with a view.
I would rather be in Key West in February LOL, but this year we booked a winter vacation to enjoy some winter activities.
Happy Almost New Year!

ReplyDeleteYou have a great memory Monique...yes I bought those silicone egg cookers at the hardware store. They have everything! You would love it. Wishing you a great new year too!
DeleteEnjoy your winter vacation Debbie! Happy New Year:@)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Lynn! Living in New York has certainly taught me how to stay warm in the winter :-)
DeleteWe're having the coldest temps we had in many years here in Louisiana, so I feel like I'm on a winter vacation. :o)) Blessings abundant for the new year!
ReplyDeleteHi Lea! I had to pull out my North Face jacket with the furry hood (keeps me as warm as an oven). Wishing you many blessings in the New year.
DeleteLove the post and that ELP song. The best thing is embracing what we've got, and winter can be exhilarating, given the right clothes and company. Happy New Year, Deb.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Debbie! Enjoy all that snow!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Jenna!
DeleteI love how the hardware store decorates it's windows! No Key West this year? I'll be anxious to see what wintry spot you'll visit. Happy New Year to you and Joe, Debbie! xx
ReplyDeleteThe hardware is one of a kind and this year they have several selfie stations where they had props set up during the holiday parade and you could take photos. We are going to wait until Joe retires in June to go to Key West. Happy New Year Kitty!
DeleteThat should say hardware store, not hardware.
DeleteStay warm and enjoy your winter holiday. Wishing you all the best in the New Year.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen, and I have enjoy all your wonderful travels in 2017. Happy 2018!
DeleteYou and Joe will have a grand time weather sunshine or snow! We are in for the evening, settled in by the fire, sweet Sadie sleeping at my side. It's COLD here in Texas this New Year's Eve. Cheers to you and Joe! Happy 2018!
ReplyDeleteWhen I reflect back on 2017, a special memory was meeting you in NYC. As I sit here on 1/1/18, I wish for peace on earth for all of us. Cheers!
DeleteHappy New Year, Debbie! I'm looking forward to a fun year with the Tales of the Traveling Totes!
ReplyDeleteStay warm!

Happy New Year, Debbie! Good friends have a place in Vail and they are suffering from lack of snow so hopefully your winter vacation is not there! Our daughter is in Jackson Hole and the snow there is better but still not great. Love the hardware store windows!!
ReplyDeleteHaha - me too! We have our cabin at Sundance and once we bought Cabo we ran away there right after Christmas every year. We tore that down to rebuild and of course it is taking longer than we expected so we have been at the cabin between Christmas and New Year's for the last two years. It is fun, but give me sun and surf!
