We spent the morning of the second day of 2023 with our freinds George and Jane. We met them halfway between our houses which ended up being in Hinesburg. George and Jane showed us a great set of trails called. HART (Heinsberg area recreation trails). It certainly didn’t feel like winter… It was in the 40s with broken sun. If we’re not gonna have winter… I’ll take weather like this. It was really great catching up with George, Jane  and their dog Milo.

 

Later in the day, my friend Duane III came by. Is Dwayne of Dwayne’s worlds son and is a videographer. He’s doing a short piece on the history of fluffy so far… And prep bye dusted off (literally) the computer and software from inside fluffy to show him. It brought back all sorts of memories

Ps. We weren’t able to get out and watch Chris’s burn as part of the New Year’s highlight… But he sent me these pictures. It looks like it was a beautiful burn

 

We had a quiet day around home with Linda., David and Willa. We took a great walk up to the  gorge, then came back and ttook a few thermal pictures then  cooked a really yummy dinner.. Seafood Aribata. Home made pasta which we made together covered in Spicy Calabrian sauce .. All served with salad  and Dianes home made bread.. So delicious. A great way to end the year !

 

We were all asleep (except me) by the time it was midnight.. A peaceful end to a busy year.

I hope everyone had as nice New years

Lets make this new year a fun and interesting one !
