VERMONT

Home Sweet Home
Going to Vermont is always such a treat for me! It's the one place I never tire of. And yes, after all these years it still feels like HOME, regardless of changes and missing loved ones. I stayed with my Aunt Mary and felt right at home in her new apartment. She always makes me feel so loved and comfortable. I was able to "socialize" this time and enjoyed every minute. I ran into people I hadn't seen in over 40 some years, what fun!. And as always, I loved being with my one and only favorite brother, Jim and his family. I also enjoyed Tunbridge Fair and church service on Sunday. Brought back so many memories. Seems like just yesterday that I was singing in the choir there. I especially enjoyed Terry Diers playing and singing "His Eye is on the Sparrow", a very moving and heartfelt rendition.
I didn't do a very good job of getting these pictures in order but here are some of my favorites. Next year I hope to drag my feet a little harder and stay until the colors change! Looking forward to that!
My brother, Jim.


the pond, beautiful and peaceful as always



Jim and Stew getting in corn



Diane and I took a walk and looked down over North Tunbridge, spotting this Monarch on the way. Reminded me of when all of us kids used to "collect" catapillars and watch them turn into Monarch butterflies. Appropriate I think, as I grew up on Monarch Hill.

Cows out to pasture for the day.



A late fawn, (still spotted) I discovered on a ride to Chelsea. Not a bit scared of me.
