Vermont, Hot and Cold.

1-20-13 VERMONT: We’ve had a mélange of weather and socializing. We got here after an easy trip on Thursday. We took care of errands on Friday before a great dinner in Norwich with Ned and Lou at Jim and Brook’s. Friday was sub-zero in the morning on the way to the market. Saturday was much warmer, up in the forties in the afternoon, before we fed Ann and Roger, Phyllis and Arnie and Donna and Bruce. Judy’s dinner was up to her usual, impossibly high standards.

Today started warm, got very windy with the chimney moaning and branches, snow and leaves flying around the yard before the temps crashed again. This morning we had brunch with Lily and Anna in Hanover and got updated on their lives, at least in part. We went to Smith’s Auction House this afternoon to look for rugs that might work in Los Gatos and bumped into old friend Beth, also exploring the offerings.

Back to NJ tomorrow.

Cold, warm, windy, cold.
