‘Diane and I both woke up early today in Endicott so we were on the road by 6 AM coming home. It was a nice drive back… Beautiful misty and mysteriously looking on route 88 heading up to the Northway and then just normal New York and Vermont beauty from there
We got home at noon just in time for some work calls… Then around 530 my good friend Hendrik and his friends Yoschi and Nargis showed up for dinner. They’re renting a cabin in eastern Vermont… But took the time to drive out here to see us which we really appreciate. Unfortunately yesterday Yoschi Broke his left arm into places when he fell off a rock at Bingham Falls… That meant an evening trip to the emergency room in Burlington an hour away. All that behind him he was really cheerful and fun guest. It was great hanging out with all of them sharing a meal and taking a walk… I hadn’t seen Hendrik in 15 months… It was so good to have real new people in the house !
Today was our good friend David’s 65th birthday… And his retirement day. We were so glad to be in town for that. We pick Linda and David up at 6:30 and drove to Binghamton where we met Linda david’s daughter Andria and her new husband Brian. It’s the first time I’ve met Brian and he is really awesome.
We had a great meal… It was so wonderful to be with his friends. His honor to be here for david’s birthday and retirement day… It’s quite inspirational
We’re on the road back home early tomorrow morning… It’s been a great spontaneous visit with Joe and Pat and seeing friends like Leann, Adam, Linda David Andrea and Brian. It’s so nice to be able to travel again
Another fun day down in Endicott. I had a long workday… This is a nice place to hang out and work. It’s nice just to be able to be around Joe and Pat… You’re such great hosts!
After work Diane and I drove out to see our friend Lee-Ann and Adam out at yoga… They live in a beautiful log house If they built by themselves… It has a beautiful woodwork and stonework everywhere . they’ve raised their four kids here It feels like it would be such a great place to grow up. We had a wonderful time talking with them… So wonderful that I forgot to take any pictures at all… The only picture I did take was of the sink that Adam had made. He bought the stone orange car… But it looks like the kind of stuff that GabÉ does.
I’ll have to see if they got any pictures of us… So I can have them here
We had a good day here in Endicott. Had a busy workday… It was very nice hanging out with Pat and Joe. They now live in Diane’s parents house… They fixed it up so nicely. After work we all went to brewpub it was built in to the show of an old Sears store at a nearby mall. It was so nice to be out in public… No masks required. Super fun
