We had a great adventure today with our friends David and ‘Steve. A couple of weeks ago we started looking for the old Long Trail and Robins mountain behind our house. Today we went up better prepared . We had old maps, GPS, food, water… We spent nearly 7 hours up there trying to find your trail. We bushwhack up and down the mountain… We had some interesting discoveries including some of the original painted over blazers… An old stove, some graffiti… And some wonderful views. It was a great day…

There was plenty of air scratches up there… It’s actually beer season now. I’m rooting for the Bears

We accidentally ran into a “Peak baggers” Marker… It’s where people can write that they’ve reached the Types of minor peaks Like robins Mountain Meadow Peak.… We were surprised to find that a friend of David’s had been there just six days edition ago. Despite it being in the middle of nowhere with no trail anywhere near there.

When we got down to the gun club we were surprise to run into our friends Greg and ‘Meg and their friends to Kelly’s.… We haven’t seen them in a long time so it was nice to catch up

My body is tired and I need to sleep

Super nice day…

Nite all, nite sam

End of a Busy week… I was glad when it was time to quit for the day. Diane ‘Kyle and I went up to claim Bolton… The foliage up there is just this side of peak. It’s really beautiful !

I love where we live!

I wanna wish a big happy birthday to my aunt Sis who turned 90 today. She is not what you normally think of with a 90 year old.… She and her husband my uncle Phil who is… What 91? 92? Are like totally crazy active normally globetrotting… Funny nice and impeccably well-dressed couple.… If you saw them you might guess they were in their 70s

Sis has been part of my life since the moment I was born… We grew up Seeing her and her family At least once a year for the last 60 years that I can remember. I remember it was in her basement that I found my first real Chemistry set…That certainly changed my life

Tonight we all got together on zoom to wish sis A happy 90th…

Thanks for being sucha great inspiration

Nite all, nite Sam

Today was an interesting convergence point. We had more visitors today than we’ve had at any time in the pandemic. A good friend Sean… Came for a visit GabÉ’s housemate in Portland Is in Vermont for a while visiting his family. He flew here and then quarantined and is now hanging out in Vermont.

Diane Shaun and I hiked up Bolton and got a great view at the Sunset

At the same time ‘Kyle And her friend Sam are back from walking Part of the Long Trail.

We had all of them plus Our Marcus over for a socially distant dinner. It was great to see other people Even if they were across the room and under a mask

We are missing our kids… So we decided to give them a surprise so we all went outside and lit up our faces with her cell phones to let the house camera pick it up. Both GabÉ and Max and Becky were able to see us. They sent us these pictures

It’s so funny… This would’ve been a normal Tuesday Jo good night type gathering… But man does it feel special to see more than our bubble.…

Simple pleasures of other people

Nite all, nite sam
