The Sharon Pile

We didn't go up to the house this weekend.  A combination of factors kept us in NYC: I came home late Friday night from a business trip to Boston, there is a big storm here in the northeast and Lindsey has a few deadlines so she has a lot of work to do this weekend.

Which brings us to the Sharon Pile.  During the week we collect all of the things we want to take to the country that weekend in a pile next to our printer.  Hence, the "Sharon Pile."  This week's pile includes replacement filters for our water filtration system, individual K-Cups for our new Keurig single-cup coffee maker, an extra warm sweater for Lindsey, running shoes, a nice Bordeaux and a new Pinot Noir I've been looking forward to trying, this week's Economist and a few books.

The Sharon Pile is more than just a pile.  It's a way for us to remember that no matter how bad the week gets, we are always a day closer to our refuge in the country.
