We had a much needed quiet day around the house today. We got some gardening in and some prep for our upcoming vacation. That’s up good to do.

We are about to go out for a hike and are all friends Paul, Ellen, Claire, and Isaac showed up… We haven’t seen them for a few days. Paul was literally the first new friend I made when I moved to Vermont and 1981. We went out furniture shopping… I was trying to buy a bed and I bought instead a scale or you put a penny in and it tells you your fortune. It was really good catching up with all of them

Later this evening we headed into South Burlington for an IBM reunion of sorts. My friend pat can put it together. It was a nice crowd there. It was so great catching up with folks

OK… Time for bed

More tomorrow

Night all, night Sam
