TS Debby Visits Vermont.

8-11-24 VERMONT: Tropical Storm Debby blew through the area a few days ago. Trees were down in places and a lot of rain fell. We got 2.75 inches of rain and a few branches came down. We did not lose power. It could have been much worse.

Val and Steve were here. We went to the Baited Hook for lobsters and clams during the storm. The day before we ate at Elixir. They left on warm, dry and sunny Saturday. 

Yesterday Roger, Ann and Laura-Beth stopped by in the afternoon to see us and Shari and Dave. In the evening we went to Cloudland Farm with Shari and Dave and Cousin John for one of their extraordinary meals. After dinner, we stopped by at the Pavilion Dance Hall to catch neighbor Steve and his band playing for the contradance. It all made for a busy day and night.
