It's been a really long time since I've posted anything!
We finally got to tear into our cheese! Our 80 pounds of Parmigiano-Reggiano we sent back with us from Italy...a little melty, but it survived!
It was kind of like holding a greased pig!
A couple of days ago we got a few snow flakes so we went for a walk to the waterfall and along the creek... Yes, it was as cold as it looks!
Since we haven't had a "day off" since we moved back here and started on the house, so off we went! To a really cute little "Alpine Village" in Helen, GA about 2 1/2 hours from here.
The local wineries were hosting a "Wine Weekend", so we made the rounds to three of them.
Helen is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Chattahoochee River, this Northeast Georgia village has a rich history linked to the Cherokee Indians and Indian burial mounds as well as early settlers who arrived to mine for gold and cut virgin timber for a thriving lumber industry in the early 1900s. Helen is a re-creation of an alpine village complete with cobblestone alleys and old-world towers.
There are lots and lots of shops, very touristy. It reminded us of Gatlinburg, TN, but really cute!
The Christmas tree in the middle of town.
By the time we got home this afternoon...It was snowing, and still is!
We've been pretty busy in the last couple of weeks! My folks came down just before Thanksgiving and are now in a cabin right down the road from us here until May. We are trying to get into "Holiday Mode" and get the Christmas tree and decorations up, we'll see how we do this week!
