Oy. today was tough.. long work day, difficult meetings until 7pm. Worked until 10.. Not at all what I want to be doing while Gabe and I are here alone. We did break for a couple of  hours and go out to eat.. I don’t know how we usually figure out what to cook.. but somehow Diane alwyas has an idea. I don’t need her to go away  for us to realize how wonderful she is.. but it certainly reminds me how much she does to keep things goign around here.

One interesting neighborhood thing is that the rain over the last two days has the Winooski well over it’s banks. There’s a lake in the field across from us. It’s no where near the house, but it’s higher than I’ve seen it in a couple of years. We’ll keep an eye on it for the next day or so..

Diane called again today and talked to Gab.She sounds like she’s doing great !.. The program she’s on sounds fun. One great thing we got to relay to her today is thta our nephew Michael and his Mate had a baby boy last night , Austin Micheal. Mom, Kid and dad are doing great .. . Welcome baby Austin !

Anything else ? Hmmm. Oh.. Nick S just published this entry in a contest to get Google to bring Fiber Optic to the House in Vermont. .Good job, Nick  It’s cute.. and it’s nice to find an issue that the Governor and I agree on (just kidding  🙂
