Long pretty day..

Mom’s in town .. we mostly hung out.. around 1 we met up with freinds at the AFSP (american Federation for Suicide Prevention) ‘Out of Darkneess ‘ walk at Oakledge park. THere was a big gathering there.. and we were there to support our freind Puckett who died  in December of last year.

 

it was a moving gathering.. lots of peope there who had lost soemone to suicide. there  were

pairs of shes there for the more than 100 people who took their own lives in Vermont last year.

 

our good freinds brad, silas and dylan were there for Puckett too..

 

ifound this great picute of Puckett on my phone today. he helped paint our house last year.. Right after that he moved to Florida.. and it there that he took his own life. We miss him so much !

 

It was good hanging out and hearign from many speakers who’d lost loved ones

 

we left there as folks headed out to  walk..  It was sad.. but also nice seeing so many folsk coming together..

 

We left there and went to check in on Deb and Diane who were geettign Deb’s shop ready for it’s helth department inspection tomorrow. Diane spent the whole day helping.. my mom and I spent a an hour an ahlf..

 

then we headed to the shelburne museam.. I loved some of the wind sculputre that was there.

 

there was a nice exhibition of Grandma Mosis paitings (hey.. i think I paitn that well !)
