Hi John…

I’m kind of liking this “dear diary” communication with you.  I know you will appreciate this history of our days without you.  That is the only reason I put up with waiting for this silly download of pictures.  I feel that if I breath funny I will lose the blog before I post it.

Back to yoga this morning.  It was great to have my 8:00 class.  That was followed by my toddler-mom class.  What fun!  It is hard not picking those cute bundles up.  I have to wait until they get to know me better.  I loved it.

After school I looked into the back freezer and found that Dan had dropped off some of his pizzas from his new business.  Everyone loves a good pizza and these are unique, tasty and full of Vermont products.  That boy.   

On a sad note, Kris The Green Grocer is going out of business.  Their loans did not come through for their expansion.  She will be missed however I’m sure she will find another adventure.  She has great energy.  

I took the dogs for a few walks today.  The sunshine was welcomed.  Everyone has been talking about the closing of the Richmond Bridge on Monday.  I guess the Governor will attend the closing.  I didn’t think that was a ceremony worth attending….let alone have the big guy stop by.  Here is a new sign at the Jonesville Bridge to help those know which way to take while the detour is underway.  The one problem I see is that it says I89 to the left toward Richmond.  That would be okay if you were going I89 North.  The poor person who takes that advice for I89 South will be traveling about 10 miles out of their way.  When I pointed that out to someone they said well most know which way to go.  I don’t think the sign is for those that know which way to go.  Maybe I should take out a sharpie tomorrow and change it for them.

The dogs and I went to the front field.  I took another picture of the Sam Stone you and Gabe put into the ice.  It is still there snug in a huge slate of ice. 

I snapped a shot of the Levison’s leaving Town Meeting day.  They are so cute.  They all went and attended together and voted.  It was great seeing them all.

I have enjoyed those few times when someone calls the house and is bewildered why your cell phone does not work.  It is a challenge trying to let them know you are gone through April and all is okay.  My favorite call was with Val K.  He has such a thick accent (Russion?)  and had a hard time comprehending what I was saying.  Gabe had just watched Borat the night before I truly felt like I was talking to Borat.  I had to repeat my simple story at least 3 times.  He would just say “I guess my English is not so good.  I do not understand”.  You must call him when you return.

Well, it is time for all good people to be in bed.  There was a snow ring around the moon tonight.  I thought of you and Sam knowing that you both are looking at the same moon.  Well, maybe yours does not have a snow ring around it.  Sleep well.   love…d
