We left Diane’s folks house… now her’ mother’s house I suppose.. and headed back to Vermont. We ended up in a sort of unintentional caravan with Jen and Deb who left about the same time. We kept calling back and forth from car to car.. so  about midway..  we decided to swap.. we let dine go into the girls car so Gabe and I could put on loud obnoxious music. It worked out well.

We got home in time to take a good head clearing hike.. then back n the car to go visit my cousins bill and jon. Jon’s my dad’s first cousin and he and his wife’ Jean’s kid Evan is a freshman at middlebury They’d come from Wisconsin to see him compete in a ski race in stow.

Bill  is john’s first cousin.. my great aunt is his aunt.. . He and his wife deb live in a lovely home in burlington

We watched the superbowl together.. at least they all did. Luckily, bill has a closset full of brainteaser puzzles that kept me busy while the orange shirt  guys were getting trounced by the white shirt guys on tv.

Jon’s birthday is this week.. so we had a little surprise party !
