Manchester, Vermont is a really pretty town.  There are all kinds of Inns, Restaurants and outlets for shopping. ❤

I think that Country Inns are beautiful.  They are always warm and welcoming with a cozy fire going in the fireplaces.

I also like Vermont farms.

I was over to Walpole, NH yesterday and stopped into Burdicks Chocolate.  I was going to get a hot chocolate to go, but a tiny little cup cost $5.00.  I decided that I didn’t want a hot chocolate that bad.  Who knows what a cup inside of hot chocolate costs.  Yikes.

Burdick’s also has frozen hot chocolate.  If it wasn’t Christmas time and I had money to spare, I would have bought something chocolate.

I would rather make my own hot chocolate at home.  I have the recipe for French hot chocolate that I like just as well at home.

I like the above lazy day outfit.  It’s warm and comfortable.

This time of year there is always so much that has to be done.  I don’t get much of a chance to be lazy but cherish the time that I can relax.

My Mom used to make gingerbread with whipped cream that looked just like the above.  I pinned a recipe for it on my “All things Christmas” board on my Pinterest.

I like a farmhouse style kitchen.  It just reminds me of my Mom and my Grams.

 

My beautiful daughter-in-law has six boys and I think that the above ring would be perfect for her.  I told my son about it and he immediately said that he was going to get that ring for his wife.  The heart diamond in the middle is her birthstone which is really neat.  That ring was made for her.  It just is beautiful, just like she is.

 

I like the above painting.  That style truck with the Christmas tree in the back and the tractor and horse along with the farm house and barn. ❤

And that’s my thoughts for today.
