Party hearty for winter is long

Mom and I had dinner tonight at Casey’s in Rensselaer. Not that we really need a reason or excuse but tonight we were celebrating my NaNoWriMo story which just made it all fun. We had a great meal, laughed, talked and braced ourselves to go back outside into the near heart of January. For the record, she went with the risotto with mushrooms and sage topped with a crisp chicken leg. I had a salmon cakes appetizer turned into a meal with scalloped potatoes and veggies. Yummy!

Car thermometer said one degree when I drove home. Very bright moon and shining stars. I put the down comforter’s cover into the dryer to freshen it a bit and then got it back onto the comforter pretty easily and now the bed is nice and warm and I’m in it!

Here’s the hat that kept my head warm today, inside and out.
