We often call a cloudless winter day a ‘blue bird day” .. we had one of those.. but I’d call it a “red bird day” because we had this guy looking in our window this morning<\/p>\n

Mid day we packed the car with all our snow things: snowshoes, skis, crapons and worm clothes to get the most of the beutiful snow. We headed to our friends Sandy and Michaels in Middlesex. Sandy is one of my oldest friends.. We’ve known each other since 5th grade.\u00a0 \u00a0I think thats about 53 years (!).. we were sort of neighbors back in Houston. My freidns all used to gether at sandys because her parent let us get aay with stuff..\u00a0 \u00a0 they were great people.. and I miss them .\u00a0 Sandy graduated early and went up to UVM. I used to come up and visit from time to time when I was at MIT. I clearly remember standing outside a bakery on main street in burlignton at 20 below zero and wondering how the heck folks could live here.. That was 46 years ago (!!).\u00a0<\/p>\n

ANyway,. it was great to see Sandy and Michael.. they’ve both retired. THeir daughter Rachel is living in Turkey after spending several years in China. THeir son Dan is living in Brooklyn.

We decided it was a good day for snowshoes, so we headed up in the woods near their house in Middlesex.. the snow was more than Kne deep whichis nice.. We havent had as much snow as we usually get here..<\/p>\n

It was really great catching up with them.. and fillign them in on all teh stuff that we;ve been up to.\u00a0

We headed back to richmond to change clothes.. then we headed to Beta.. Trevor is still in town and I wanted to give him and his friends a tour of Beta. .We met\u00a0 up with Trevor and his friends Matt, Lizzy and James as well as our friend Nate and his great GF Hannah and took a look around Beta.. I think they really liked it !<\/p>\n

Afterwards we tried to find a place to eat.. whcih proved to be harder than we thought on a sunday night. We ended up at Zacharys in South burlington. It was one of Trevors favorites back in the day,. it was nice for him to get to see it again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
