First flurry

Today we saw our first snow flurry after pouring rain Wednesday and flood watches yesterday. I guess winter is almost here, albeit not officially.

We are getting ready for our trip to Italy for Christmas. We are happy that we have some long term guests who will be staying over the holidays and will water our plants and keep the home fires burning.

We will be dining out in Saratoga for restaurant week, which started today - $18.19 for a three course dinner or $9.09 for a three course lunch. We are going to try a couple of restaurants that we have wanted to go to, but just have not.

Still taking yoga and going to the gym - we are taking a jump rope to Italy so that we can keep up the exercise - do you think it will ever leave the suitcase? I am not at all sure.

Will give a full report on our trip when we return next year.
