This weekend resulted in two new goals for me: learn how to make cranberry ketchup, and build a sauna in our backyard. Chickaloon will have that effect on a gal!
Sofia, Lori and I headed out to visit our friends out in Chickaloon on Saturday, arriving in time to don our big dance skirts and join the party in progress. The boys were in their groove, putting out amazing music with drums, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, sitar and sarangi. We immediately joined in the dancing with the girls, with Sofia very happily observing the whole thing from her bumbo chair on the couch.
This girl is destined to be a musician and/or a dancer. Usually she crashes hard at 8 p.m. without fail, but this night she stayed up in happy party mode until midnight, just listening to the music and watching the dancers.
After crashing in the cabin known affectionately as the "Love Shack," we woke up the next morning to a fresh blanket of snow, and it was still coming down. There's just nothing like the insulated quiet of new snow in the woods. We bundled up and hiked over to the main cabin, where Melea was fixing pancakes, coffee and potatoes, served with her homemade cranberry ketchup!! Yum. I'm obsessed with this ketchup and must make some for myself.
Breakfast was followed by a stint in the sauna, complete with an essential-oil-infused sugar scrub. Perfect way to detox for the drive home!
Again, no Chickaloon pictures, which is a shame. I had a prime photo opp of Sofia swinging in the indoor hammock. But these weekends just don't lend themselves well to hauling a camera around. Next time.
