A BIT OF NEW ENGLAND


there are just some things in this world that i never had the chance to do, until i moved myself to new england. skating on a real-life frozen pond is one of them. there may have been frozen ponds in ut... but i didn't know about them.

the kids belong to a club out here that just so happens to have a pond, fully equipped with a "hockey rink," sleds to be pushed around in AND a pond house where a really cute guy hands me a hot chocolate and puts another log on the fire.... yessss please!





(please note: the creepy squirrel with skis(?) on.)

i'm not good at skating. i have only been a handful of times. and most of those times have included the kids... where they skates circles around me and laugh at how i look knock-kneed. shut up guys!


okay so it's true. but don't worry, it's worth the teasing i endure. this place is beautiful, and quiet and exclusive (i'm turning into such a snob). what a great memory!

Oh Peggy (or should I say Sasha?)! You look like a gorgeous champion out there! There is nothing I love so well as a good skate! I've never skated on a real frozen pond either, and I think it's high time. Could exclusive include one more??? I could lead the choo-choo train . . .
