The Best of What's Around: Getaway

It's been a long time, so let's jump right in!

Eleanora's favorite place in the world, the hallway outside our apartment. We are the only apartment down here so she can run up and down and not disturb anyone. She LOVES playing out there. So here she is doing laps (this was taken about halfway down the hallway, so as you can see she's got plenty of room!),

Here she is in her new sofa/bed/comfy thingy.

Now as a bed,

Eleanora has found a love of brushing her teeth! If she sees me pick up my toothbrush she whines until I get hers out, even if she's already brushed! Here she is before bedtime brushing away,

We went to the cabin that our apartment management company owns and lets Resident Managers use for free last weekend. It was heaven on earth. 3 days of no work, no phone calls, no residents, no emails, very little cell phone service and a lovely cabin to hide out in. It was the best weekend we've had in a while! We love our job(s) but it was so nice to turn that part of our brains off.

Eleanora was beyond thrilled at the new house to explore and all the animals! Here she is pointing at the woodpeckers on the trees, (we also saw 10 turkeys and 2 deer!),

We drove to Amery (closest city with a restaurant) for dinner on Saturday. I post this because the 2 women next to us thought she was a boy! Kept saying "Oh he's such a happy guy!". Since when can a girl not wear green? I get sick of all the pink and purple, but if she's going to get called a boy in anything else than I will stick to the overly girly colors because it drives me crazy!

Does she look like a boy here to you?

The weather was pretty cold and it snowed Sat & Mon, so we mostly cuddled inside and spent time together :) Lots of reading in the lakeside addition with the fireplace going. Eleanora's choice of reading material was a little low brow,

But hey, can you blame her? She got an early start. (Me and my girl reading gossip when she was 1 day old).

(As you may know, I quit buying celebrity gossip magazines 2 years ago cold turkey. It was just too expensive of an addiction. SO you will be happy to know that both magazines pictured where NOT purchased by me. One was a gift to read while in the hospital and the other was left at the cabin by the previous people. So there's no need to call my sponsor or stage an intervention.)

Lots of laughs and memories were made!
