Are they getting very early… ‘Diane and I had to wake up at 3:40 to get her to the airport by 4:30…

diane is out on a scouting trip at gabes for a house painting project we’re all doing over the next couple of weeks.

I went back home and got another four hours asleep which was great… Later that morning my friend jake from work came over and we kicked out about electronics… Midway through his visit our friends Isaac, susan and Sophia came by for a very quick visit (baby Sophia was asleep) and gave us a delicious Persian dessert which was covered with lavender… Very exotic

I spent the rest of the day working around the house… Clean up the front entranceway and catching up on email and stuff. When crazy thing that happened just a short bit ago is that Max and Becky are with friends in Pagosa Springs Colorado… Which is about halfway between Denver and Santa Fe. Max sent this picture of a sign… Note the name “Bob hand”… Bob hand is the name of the ghost that is supposed to be in our house… I actually named him because of a strange experience I had just before we got married… It’s a fun and sort of creepy story… But to see Bob’s name On a sign both funny and incredibly weird

It’s a strange world we live in… No?

Our friends Deb and Jenn invited Diane up for breakfast and ‘Diane invited me… It was so wonderful. Deb had made whipped butter, homemade clotted cream and lemon curd and waffles so delicious and such a nice way to celebrate Diane birthday…

It was kind of a drizzly and cold day but we were able to get out for a quick hike up to Huntington gorge… It’s not good to get outside despite the weather

Once we gotten our exercising it was time for cake… I got ‘Diane her favorite chocolate mousse cake from chefs corners… In such a yummy treat in the middle of the afternoon

There was a spring party for Beto at higher ground last night and Dianne decided that was a good thing to do on her birthday so she Kyle Hunter Deb and I went to the party… It was really fun. So many people excited about the same thing… And so many great Vermont connections

our friend Ryan’s band played an opening act and then there was another surf band. Great food, great company. We left good in early because Diane had a very early flight the next morning.



We ran into several old friends including a very good friend Jessie
