My youngest sister Marie and her husband Scott came last Wednesday for a three day visit. How wonderful was that? Extremely wonderful! She was the first of either of our extended families to visit us in our new state.
The first night we took a hike before sunset to the Top of the World to watch the sunset.
On Thursday Dan accompanied them on a bike ride, renting bikes in Lebanon and riding the Northern rail trail, with lunch on their return leg.

Friday we drove to Mt. Ascutney to hike to the top after driving most of the way on a narrow bumpy road.
That's me hiking at my slow and steady pace.
Of course the granddaughters spent lots of time at our house because they couldn't get enough of Marie and Scott.
Saying good bye early Saturday morning was tough but they promised to return. They rated our bed and breakfast (lunch and dinner) accommodations as superb.
Dan and I on the porch of our home. We had the lemon meringue pie I made on Thursday in the front yard because the deck is all torn up.
And yes the contractors came. Wednesday the carpenters working on the clapboard and deck were there till dinner time. Thursday the barn guy came and again on Friday and worked until dusk. Friday also the tree guys came and limbed up the hemlock and spruces that line out driveway. Everyone took it all in stride.
More posts to come on what's been happening around here.

ReplyDeleteHi Marcia, I'm back! And congrats on your move, and having family visit. I was right there with you, moving to a new state for retirement, then having the Covid lockdown hit us before we knew what was happening. :)
