Cold Rainy Day, aka Catch Up Day

Happy Epiphany [aka 12th Night]
The Baltimore area is getting a yucky cold drizzle; at 5:30 this morning it was sleet. We postponed our trip to Eldersburg till Thursday. Dick has been fighting a miserable cold, so neither of us was really ready to brave the elements at that ridiculous hour.

I did my weekly editing this morning, then did a couple of errands. Now it feels good to just sit and catch up with some things I've been wanting to do.

One of which is to post a note about the B&B we stayed at over Christmas in NC. The River Landing Inn is located about 12 miles south of Graham in the old mill town Saxapahaw [http://www.riverlandinginn.com/], along the Haw River. We discovered the inn last year when we were down for the holidays and wanted to return.

It is a quiet place, definitely off the main road. Because we have only been there in December while visiting family, we haven't had a chance to take advantage of all the inn has to offer: wine tastings, art shows, canoe trips, etc.





However, we have taken advantage of the warm fire, comfortable sofas, and the soft light of the 10-ft Christmas tree.




More catch up later. It's been a pleasant afternoon.
