Re Acclimating

I cannot lie, it was hard arriving back in PVB - alone, without children or Jim, and the weather was dreary and rainy. It hit me hard.... but a few days in and I am feeling better. Reconnecting with friends, sharing good food and wine, and golf have eased the transition. There is much to be done after being gone for six months, not least of which is re acclimating to the weather! To be sure it was a very mild fall in New England. The coldest day I experienced was the day I departed on my trip back to Florida. But I forgot how sticky the humidity makes the air and the temp tomorrow is expected to reach 80* before the cold front from the west arrives Thursday morning.

I spent several hours over several days getting the 10 foot Christmas tree up and lit. Anyone who has a pre-lit tree understands the frustration of getting all the twinkly little lights to work. It is a labor of Christmas love. I persevered, they are all lit - let the ornamentation begin! I look forward to decorating, baking, and spending the holidays with the fam.
