Buds' Nashville brother and family made their way north so Buds and I drove over to his parents' house on Saturday to get as much time as we could with family. Our kids were still finishing the semester so it was a couple's trip for us.

We took the leisurely route, knowing we were stopping for lunch and at the Vermont Country Store before driving to Mary and John's house.
Buds chose a tiny, delicious little dinner in Londonderry, VT.

We were laughing and chatting and getting really hungry. Since we were seated at the bar, we could watch the cook, and I realized the food was taking awhile because he was cooking one ticket at a time. Luckily there were only 2 tables ahead of us, and the food was worth the wait.

A little time at the Vermont Country Store, then on to Buddie's parents' home.

There was snow so time for sledding, puzzles, laughter, and togetherness.
