De-energized.

It is another cold one in the northeast, but I spent the day in a bathing suit.
Yes, tis true.  Would I lie?
I took one of my daughters and three of my grandkids to the Great Escape Lodge Whitewater Bay, an indoor water park.
I didn't take any pictures.  I have tried that in previous years, but it doesn't work out well.   I spent too much time worrying about the safety of my camera, instead of having fun.
So instead, pictures of the snowy vistas around here will have to do.

For only a minute did I consider that I might not look wonderful in a bathing suit.  That's all it took to get a good look at the bathing suits in attendance.  There were people who were wearing two piece bathing suits  that should NEVER EVER have even contemplated it for a moment.  You know what I mean, right?

There were tattoos, piercings, cleavage, and cellulite.  Oh, dear.

I am glad I don't have to waste one minute worrying about how I look.

What a relief.

It was a long day, the kids had a blast, I am waterlogged and exhausted.  I can tell you that I will sleep like a baby tonight.

Remember I went to Vermont last week?  This is a little town in Vermont, called Pawlet.

It is a farming town on the way to Manchester.

There is a very cool general store, where you can buy just about anything.

I love it.   Don't you?

The floors creak, like they should in an old country store.

In Vermont, you can buy wine in a grocery store, unlike New York.

In the center of the store, they have this interesting item.

You see the store is built over a brook.

And if you look down ..............

You can see the water.  Is that cool or what?

And that will have to do for the tour tonight.  Whatever energy level I had is no more.

Kids.  You gotta love em.
