It was our last chance to relax, but we had to mix it in with getting the house ready for us to leave. We took an easy morning – I got our Christmas cards done, which I closed several attempts to get a selfie on the deck.

Laura was just working on homework so the rest of us went for a walk to try and identify the “weird ducks” I had seen earlier in the week – and success! They were buffleheads – 5 males and 3 females.

We managed to find time in between laundry, inventorying the pantry, and vacuuming, to play our new board game – Sagrata.

It was a cold blustery day and nice to see how cozy and warm the house is. It will be tough to leave.
