Memorial day weekend

My husband and I went away this weekend to the Catskills and had a great mini vacation. He wanted to surprise me and take me away before surgery. I can't say how much we enjoyed ourselves. We stayed at this quaint Bed and Breakfast. The room was real nice but the most amazing feature was the view. Our room was on the second floor of the house and it faced this stream. I was so excited because I love the ramblings of any water. We immediately opened all the windows. Music to my ears. That night I was lulled to sleep by the sound of it. The room was filled with fresh country air. The exact remedy for my sad soul.
The next day we went hiking. I left my socks in the room so I changed to my sneakers and had to put them on with no socks. John had these casual shoes he put on. As you can tell we were city folks trying to hike. As we start the trail we run in to the stream. No sooner do I step on a rock than I slip and my sockless feet get all wet. I yell cause the water is cooooooooolllllllllllllld. Any way as we continue the hike I notice there is no clear path up this hill. There is mud, water and huge rocks to dodge. It was not so bad because it actually very shady and cool. It was also very peaceful and I love all the foot bridges we came across.
We also saw Iron Man which was not that bad. The small theatre on mainstream was very unusual it housed in the front a subway,Carvel, and Paint ball rental equipment. In the back was the theatre. It was like any other theatre except for the chairs. They were more like office chairs than recliners. Attached to the rails were small trays that you can use to put your subway food on. I liked this feature.
One other thing that I really enjoyed was this quilt shop that I wanted to bring back home with me. They had all these beautiful fabrics. Made me want to start sewing again.
Over all I had a great time. Now I am back home. Trying to figure out what else I have to do before surgery. I will finish my crown work tomorrow, finally! and I also have to get a chest x ray. I pray they don't see anything there.
