‘Lumber-Chic,’ the new phrase coined by the infamous Shannon Tebay describing her look of the season. Stemming from the new LL Bean duck boots which she has recently cemented her self into and heading up to her fashionable winter leggings, onward to her understated flannel plaid shirt, and capping off at the timeless hand knit beanie. Lumber-Chic. This winter is going to be the winter of the LL Bean boot as our household has decided to be sponsored by the iconic boot, each of us sporting our own variation from Bison leather to shearling lined. I have encountered more then a few problems getting a hold of mine, as per usual the boots I ordered in my normal size were perfect in length and as wide as they are long. I would love to meet all of these people that clothing companies think are roaming around at 6’6″ and 450 lbs. It should be noted to all of the clothing designers who are obviously reading this: Tall people do not equal wide people. If anything most are stretched out and skinny then your average 6′ bear.
As I recover from the flu, Addie from a cold, and Shannon from a tooth ache it came to our attention that finding a doctor is difficult. One of the hardest things we have had to do out here is find healthcare providers! Finding a reliable doctor who we like and trust, not to mention takes our insurance which we may or may not have at certain points, is extremely challenging. We have seen a few over the last year for various reasons from physicals to sinus infections and have yet to be impressed. If you have any advice on locating good doctors let us know!
The NYC Crew are headed home for the holidays in under a week! All of us are very excited to get back to NM to see everyone and get some fresh air and clear skies. It is hard to believe that Shannon and I have been gone for a whole year. I feel like time has flown, and it has been the longest year of my life at the same time. It might be time to do a year in review on the blog.
Anyways, this was just a quick update to let you all know that we are still alive and kicking. Everything else seems to be marching right along, the distillery has recently been featured in a flood of publications ranging from Newsweek to The New York Times to GQ and many more. It’s fun to see your stuff on the shelves at stores and think I actually made that very bottle! I will be bringing tastes home for anyone who is interested!
I hope everyone is doing well this holiday season! Much love from NYC.
