A Weekend of Firsts

It was quite a busy weekend for us--one of "firsts."  Here is a list of things that we experienced for the first time this weekend:

1.  First snow.  Only a dusting, but still exciting.

2.  First time it was colder than 13 degrees...it got down to 10.  Evan is already upset about our heating oil bill.

3.  First time we (Lindsey) set off the alarm.  It was so cold that she tried to punch in the numbers with her mittens still on, and she could not do it fast enough so the alarm went off.  The ADT guy contacted us through the ADT intercom system and asked for our security password.  I forgot it for a minute so it took a little while to convince him we were the owners.  Fun was had by all.

4.  First local dinner party.  Lindsey's friend Betty invited us to her beautiful home in West Cornwall (7 miles from our house) for a dinner party with her friends Jane and John (who have been coming to West Cornwall for 20 years).  We had a wonderful time, and it was great to meet other Country Weekenders.

5.  We made our first visit to the new Target in Torrington.  Lindsey was ecstatic, because she only used to go to Target when she visited her friends Danielle and Steve in LA (there is no Target in Manhattan).
