Peaceful day.. Diane and I began with a quick hike up the Stowe Pinnacle (Or Stowe Pineapple as we call it).. Beautiful day.. and the first sign of a fall leaf !
From there we went to our friends Mike and Laurens ]new’ hotel. They bought the old Stowe inn a few months back and are restoring it with a planned opening in September.. Its so fun watching them make such fast progress ! It was Mike’s birthday so we joined in their cook out.
Later on diane and I took a p peaceful walk down by the river shore across from our house
I also turn to her and say “wouldnt it be nice to live near here ? 🙂
Today my old boss, mentor and close friend Kevin C and Family came over to visit. THey were in town for a Nora Jones concert and visiting Kevin and Betsy’s daughter Meghan and her wife Emmy who live in Burlington. We’d missed Meghan and Emmy’s wedding due to travel so we were very excited to see them !..
It was so fun catching up with the whole family. and showign them around
I was happy to show the C’s the progress we’re making on the lights for Fluffy.. that damn bus is starting to take over my life !
Today we attended a celebration of life for our friend Joe.
Joe was a good freind and dad to our ver good friend Kevin and Pat. Joe was a quiet and funny man.. He was a great dd to his sons. . in recent years Joe worked at TSA. and he was often the person I saw when I came and went frot eh BTV airport so many times in the past year.
the memorial was at All Souls.. it was a really nice gathering. we heard form Joes Brothers , his friends and his son Kevin. It was a beutiful day to remember a really nice guy
After the service we ent out side and talked in the beautiful afternoon.\ on the lake. It was peaceful
several of us then headed over to Jen and Tims to be with some of Kevin and Pats friends that had come in for Joes memorial. It was both fun and sad.
Kevins weddign is only in 3 weeks.. we’ll be all missing joe
James, rebar and I worked hard today to get the poofer system built and leak checked to see if we could do our first test fire today. It was a long fun day.
