Trying not to gloat

I intend to spend all of next week doing exactly what I please.

This includes reading, tidying our home office, shopping both the pre- and post-Christmas sales, watching the birds at the feeder, restarting a workout scheme, sorting the sewing supplies, maybe a little brewing, making a Christmas Eve dinner, catching a movie or two, all that.

I haven't had a vacation that wasn't attached to either paid or volunteer work (conferences, Pennsic, OES) in a year and it shows.

Ooooh, for Mystic, consider Gillete Castle, which is seasonally closed during winter EXCEPT for a fantastic Christmas exhibit.

Not far from there is a train exhibit: I've wanted to try their dinner and travel car experience, but haven't yet.

Oh, I haven't been to Gillette Castle or on the steam trains since I was a little girl!
