It’s a whole new year

Given that it’s a clean slate and a whole new year, we should start out with a blog update and hopefully post a bit more regularly in 2009.

We enjoyed our traditional vowel state road trip for the holidays, this time adding a visit to the Sheldons in Chicago to our itinerary of Toledo (Brian’s family), Fort Wayne (my family and friends), St. Marys (Grandma and Sue), and Indianapolis (Rich & Sarah).  We missed seeing Brian’s Grandma and sister in FL and a few friends along the way we’d hoped to visit, but it was a full trip already for 10 days and three states.  We hope to host more visits at the Juddmansee B&B here in Newburyport this year and see some other family and friends on our summer trip.

For new year’s we returned to Red Bones for delicious BBQ.  Emily Kubec was visiting from London, so we got to spend the day and ring in the new year with her (yay!) along with Dan, Nate and the Kennealys.

We’re pretty typical in looking at new year’s resolutions.  We need to get in better shape, so we did a Martina workout today and signed up for a race with Heather in Vermont in June to keep us motivated.  We want to clean up a few of the household messes, so we tidied up the Rumpus Room and got some boxes put up in the attic (sorting the attic is a task for another day!).  We’re trying to keep on top of our correspondence, too – New Year’s day seems like the perfect time to kick around the house and get to some neglected tasks like emails and to write thank you notes.  Our calendar may never be so open as it looks today, as we turn the page (well, flip the Google calendar view) to a new year!

We’re also looking at another year of eating local.  This year’s canned peaches and homemade cheese were big successes, so we’d like to get started earlier in the season this year.  We got the sign-up form for a Community Supported Agriculture share to provide fresh veggies all summer, to supplement our little plot and the Tendercrop farm.

Who knows what 2009 will hold?  We hope to ejnoy another wonderful year of good friends, supportive family, health and fun experiences.  Stay tuned!
