Back to Blogging!

For some reason...I stopped blogging. I enjoyed it, some people read it....and I stopped. And for the life of me, I'm not sure why! I have one friend (yes, Nancy, you) who has asked more than once for me to start up again. And I've had it in the back of my mind. So today was the day. I had to figure out how to change the title as we are no longer only "at the Lake". But since we are still retired and still taking it "One Day at a Time", that worked.

We are now using the Lake house as our part time house. As we grow older we become more aware of the need to be closer to family and friends. Winter at the lake was too far away from family and, if needed, medical assistance. But we really liked our house and enjoyed the Lake. We had first considered returning to Jersey but after visiting some houses for sale, seeing how the area had become more crowded and the high taxes one pays, Jersey was not an option. So we looked closer to Scranton which would keep us close enough to the Lake to travel back and forth easily. Honey, our yellow lab, does not travel well! We found a lovely house in a small community close to Scranton which made it also close to family, hospitals, places to eat and THE MALL! We are now in our second winter here. We still spend time at the Lake and will return there soon. This is the best of both worlds!

While our weather has been warm this winter, we have still had precipitation. This past week we had several storms come through bringing heavy rain and thunder and lightning.

The snow we were anticipating this weekend now appears to have moved to the south - so our friends in South Jersey may get some snow.

Today our project was to put together a vanity table I had gotten on line from AllModern. It is solid wood and ready to be stained. B is the one who reads the directions (not always cause he does often know just what to do) and I assist. Here I am on the floor tightening up the legs - so I can say I helped.

And here is the finished table - next to the dresser in the bedroom. I'll probably stain this down the road but for now, I'm happy.

The chair is from our breakfast room set - I borrowed it for a bit. 

I've been looking forward to sitting while I do make up and dry my hair.
