Today was really special.. We became homeowners in the real sense I baught our house in August of 1982 for $60,000 .. Since that time we’ve been dutifully paying our mortgae includign at least 4 refinances we did to upgrade the house .. we hadded soem of the modern convieinces that most houses have…
like heat .. 🙂
Today we finally paid of the last bit of that mortgage. A nice officernamed Belle at Eastrise Credit Union (nee New England Federal Credit Union) did the honors. .. with no fanfare, we did the last transfer and this crazy home was truly ours..
And like that.. just 43 years latgr we owned our home !
THanks you house for being such a great place to live raise kids, celebrate, grieve create and live…
Diane and I tried to go out for a hike today.. but teh sudden warm weather had turned all our favorite hiuke routes into mud. Instead we took a fast walk up to the gorge
We worked around the house as it began to drizzle outside..Â
In the evening we ‘snuck in’ to see a wonderful concert that the Vermont Symphny Orchestra played in the BETA North Hanger. My freind Kristin was the mastermind of it from the BETA side. It was a choral concert with soem new pieces acompanied by a beutiful light show created by soem students at Champlain College. .. The acoustics in the hanger turned out to be great
. It was a really magical show ! COngrats to the VSO, BETA and Kristine for makign it happen !
THis morning we had a beautiful guest at our bird feeder. A red bellied woodpecker. Check out his coloring !

DIane and I took a quick hike up to the duxbury window. THe snow is still very deep.. but the trail is packed ddown enough that we didnt need snowshoes, only spikes..Â
This evening we all went to Debs for dinner.. It’s our favorite resturant.. ! .. SHe has really deep snow up there. she has more than 4 feet on her balcony..  It was fun to get together.. ti was sort of a late burthday party.. so Diane brought an apple cake. !
