I'll add Christmas socks to my shopping list

Hope you and Eric have a wonderful Christmas together and much happiness in the New Year

I’m so glad you are finally where you are the happiest

I just saw this! Thanks Dee, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas too

We spent three nights up North, in Littleton. Christmas Eve was spent at his brother's with the family, and on Christmas day we went to his sister's in Vermont for the day. Had a great time, it was great to see everyone again, and they were thrilled we're a couple now.

Happy New Year

Eric and I braved the frigid temps this weekend. We went up to Lincoln for the weekend to enjoy the opening of the Ice Castles and his nephew's birthday.

Friday night was going to be a little warmer than Saturday, so we went to Ice Castles at 10pm on Friday. Wind chill temps were only -30F/-35C and the wind gusts were around 30mph... I was all bundled up in Eric's snowmobile suit, so it wasn't too bad.

Absolutely beautiful. The castle was lit up with colorful lights and it was like walking through a huge maze. Outside they had an enchanted forest of shimmering lights. One area looked like a fairy garden full of lights. Despite the frigid temperatures, we had an amazing time.

Pics are from google images... I didn't dare take my gloves off to take pictures. Brrrr!!!

Nice to see you lovebirds are going strong...that ice castle sounds like a place I would like to visit...

your comment about not removing your gloves was spot on...himself here DID exactly that in -20 degF conditions...and had five chocolate colored Popsicles in seconds...brrrrrr...

All the best...keep living the dream...

Thanks mayb It was a lot of fun. Ice Castles is a very popular attraction here, it's difficult to get tickets if you don't book right away. They are only open for about two months, depending on the weather.

I'm happy Eric and I have the traveling thing in common... It's so much more fun exploring when you have someone to enjoy it with. We're already checking out places that we want to visit this summer. Now that the covid restrictions have lifted in New Hampshire, you have to start booking accommodations by mid February or early March, otherwise you could end up sleeping in your car, haha.

That’s awesome that you got to go to the Ice Castles....they’re absolutely gorgeous!
Glad you were able to stay warm in those subzero temps... I saw that on the National news It got down to the single digits here, which was cold enough for me 🥶
I’m definitely ready for spring!

Dee Had I thought about it before hand, I would have brought mittens that had the finger tips cut off so I could take pictures. We'll probably go again next year, hopefully when the temps aren't so brutal

Did you get a lot of snow from the storm?

It's been a crazy winter so far. One day it's close to zero or below and snowing, then the next day it's in the high 30's, low 40's and raining. Tonight it's going down to 5 degrees. From the looks of the forecast, February is going to be fairly mild and March is looking even warmer, so perhaps spring will come early for us.

Sure would be nice, I'm excited about starting a garden.

We only had about 6 or 7 inches of snow from that....some places around us got 10 to 12! It sure has been crazy. Last month it was in the 60s a few times. Last night it got down to 3 below zero..... brrrrr! 🥶

What kind of garden are you planning...? Vegetable, or flower? Maybe both!? I’m not good with growing flowers... I wish I was

Hope you’re staying warm and having a good weekend!

Dee, it was like that here too. Some places, mostly North of us, got up to 12 inches. My body is definitely not liking the inconsistency in the weather patterns

I haven't had much success with gardening in the past with flowers or vegetables. But I'm starting to research gardening a little, so hopefully this year I'll have a little more success.

I want both flowers and vegetables. I had started a gnome garden with flowers, but most of the flowers didn't survive. I figure this year I'll use starter plants instead of seeds. With veggies, I'm starting with leaf lettuce, it seems easy enough to be successful with that, and then I'll go from there.

The biggest problem I have is remembering to water them

Hope you had a great weekend

It's been seven months since I embarked on a new chapter in my life... When I said yes to love and the possibility of happily ever after with my best friend.

Wow, so many enlightening experiences, and changes since then. And now the time has come to close that chapter and move on in this incredible journey, called Life.

Eric and I are parting our ways. We both have different paths to follow, neither of which resonates when it comes to being a couple. There are no regrets, only possibilities.

Even though it didn't work out for us, saying yes to love opened the door and brought each of us one step closer to some day meeting the one that is right for us.

I would like to encourage all of you... To say yes to Love! For it's only in doing so, taking that initial leap of faith, that you will some day find your true hearts desire... eventually! And you never know, it could be just around the corner, patiently waiting for you to say... YES!!!

So my adventure continues... next destination will be back to my home in Florida. I will be leaving in a week or two. Perferably in a week... I'm so ready to see what unfolds in the next chapter. Of which I will take a more proactive role in co-creating/writing the script.

Have a beautiful day everyone!

Wishing you lots of wonderful new things! May there be Love & Light!
And of course a safe trip to Florida. Maybe take some time to smell the roses along the way this time :p

To a bright new future!

Thanks Crystal

I was just thinking about that this morning. My original plan was to get down there as soon as possible. But taking my time and smelling a few roses along the way would be lovely! So, I will.

Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.

Good vibes and warm wishes to you on your new journey

Thanks Delightful

Its been a long long long time since I posted a comment here , Thinking that my comments will be ignored , Just want to say have a Nice week End and wishing everyone here .

Love your attitude, River! You give off such a positive energy, people can’t help but be drawn to you. I hope this next chapter of your life brings you all the wonderful things that you deserve.

Hey River..... so sorry to hear things didn’t work out for you and Eric but you both have to follow your heart to find who you’re looking for.

I’m looking forward to hearing about your upcoming adventure to Florida. I’m sure you will have an exciting trip! Hope you have safe travels

Aww, thanks Bonnie. I'll be stopping at a few spiritual vortexes along the way. What a wonderful way to continue on in my spiritual journey. I'm so excited, haha

Thanks Dee I'll be flying solo for now, haha. But you never know, I just may bump into someone special along the way.
