My husband and I along with a couple of friends took a house share up in Vermont all of December. It sucked driving 5-6 hours each way especially after work on Fridays. But that apart we had a cozy country home nestled on a hill with a front yard that had a blanket of soft powdery snow (perfect for snowball fights). I loved the small town charm of Proctorsville and buying groceries at the mom and pop stores that are hard to come by in Manhattan. I learned to ski and got rather good at it, except for a nasty fall on our last day on the slopes(which also happened to be my birthday),which left me with a sprain on my left shoulder - oh well!
