Perhaps I have a little bit of cabin fever and I don’t mind admitting it to you. We’re all friends here, right? I’ve never been snowed in for this long and if it weren’t for the reprieve on Tuesday when we had the driveway open for an entire day, I might be a little cuckoo for cocoa puffs by now.
I had planned to visit the Big City this weekend with some blogging friends I met in Virginia last year. But with the weather and the trains cancelled, the Virginia guests won’t be able to make it which made all of us a bit down. This is something we’ve planning for months. So I was going to go myself and visit with my friend, Daryl and have dinner with my son.
But we’re still snowbound here and there’s no getting out. I woke early this morning to find these photos in the camera disk. Someone had their favorite pal posing for sunrise photos.
Yesterday morning my husband also took several sunrise photos. And when I got up and saw that I’d filled the camera disk already, I deleted all the pictures. Including his.
And I felt very bad about it.
He told me he could care less because he could always take some more.
And I felt so much better then.
My husband said they were all bad photos, but I beg to differ.
I like all of them. Even if it does look like George is posing.
And I’m going to miss it here when I go.
Because I really am going to go.
I need to for my sanity. I think.
I’m all packed. I just have to get my bags down to the main road. I have a rental car coming to collect me at 1 PM and will be on my way to NYC for the weekend. This way I can leave the car here for my husband and George if they need it.
I invited my husband to come along. But he said, “Are you crazy? Me in New York?”
So if you don’t hear from me in a few days, that’s where I’ll be. I love it here, you know that. But sometimes a girl’s just got to get away.
Respectfully submitted,

Big Hugs all around to the Blisters!
Love you all.
it's been a long time since I spent a weekend in NYC. But I am thrilled that you are going! Have a ton of fun....smiles.
Have a lovely time in N Y. I am sure that, like here, the main roads will be clear of snow. Enjoy. George and husband will still be there when you get back - and pleased to see you after the break.
We are ready for you! Happy trails;) And safe ones, too.

wow..you're going to come to NYC ..hooray...safe traveling Kate!
Have a great time. I love New York.
Oh, those pics of George.
Be still my heart! I love him.
I would have married a lot sooner had all men looked like that!
But, my guy is close, and what an animal lover he is,too! When I am mad at him, I just imagine he has whiskers and furry ears, and then all is right with the world!!
xo, misha
Have fun, my friend!!! And when I read your title of your blog, this is what I got out of that...
We got the fever
We're HOT
We can't be stopped!

Have a wonderful time, Kate! :)
Have a wonderful weekend away! We all need to get out of the cabin from time to time, no matter how beautiful our cabin may be!
Kat :)
Dear Kate,
have a great weekend and have some fun. Oh, what the hell, have lots of fun!!!!!!!!! Hugs and Kisses
Have a wonderful time with all your "special peeps" in NYC!!
You are a very wise and insightful woman to see what it is that you need and very strong to just go out and do it! Very awesome I hope to be there some day.
Have a great time and stay warm!
Bring me something! :)
Just in case your kids forget to ask! :)
Be careful and have fun! Cabin Fever is going around, have a case of it myself!
I've never been to NYC. I'd like to see it, just to, you know...see it. I think I'd much rather stay at your house instead. That's more my speed.
Have fun!
I feel your pain, but I am still utterly jealous... you promise to show me round if ever I make it to the Big Apple??
:-)

Enjoy your getaway.
Every time I see your house, I fall in love with it all over again. Does it have a history other than yours?
When you are snowed in just think of yourself as a latter day daughter of the pioneers. Bet they were snowed in a lot in their day.
And now. Just get your things together and make your way down to the road. Where there's a will there's a way.
Have a great time Kate.

Your husband takes exceptional photos, too.
Hope you have a good time in NY!

While we love NYC, we prefer our country living - thanks. Have fun in the city.
P.S. - and our security word is venting.
totally get it!
sometimes we city girls have to do just
the opposite!
Have a wonderful time!
Aloha, Friend

That third photo is outstanding, just PERFECT!!
When you read this you'll be back safe and sound. Hope you had a wonderful time. And your pics are stunning as always. Can't wait to hear what you've done and seen.
See you soon. Bye Dagmar
Ain't that the truth...I wish I was going with you!
Cooco for cocoa puffs huh...thats a new one and I loved it! I also loved the pic of the sun setting right over the dogs head..very beautiful! Have fun and come say hi when you have time :D
Completely understand the need to get away and really a weekend in New York City is the way to go- I don't think I'd want more then a weekend there...but who knows- I've never been, maybe I'd get bit by the Apple fever...hehehehe...
Hope you have a great time and we'll see ya when you get back...safe travels!
I'm late, no pc at home. But know you had a great time. Luv the pictures. You can't take a bad picture of George.
