 <\/o:p>I woke today in the bell tower and didn’t know where I was at first.. It took me a few moments to realize that I was still in my house.. just on a different foor. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I made may way downstairs through Diane and my  <\/span>room where my folks were sleeping and came down stairs. It was pretty peaceful. Eleven folks in the house.. and no one was awake at 9:30 AM<\/st1:time>.. I love it.    <\/span>People started to wake up around ten.. <\/p>\n

 <\/span>First order of business was to help Gabe clean the duct tape sticky off his feet.. He’d been trying to make a trampoline board for a day and was working out how to attach the board to his feet (Note to inventers:.. don’t put duct tape on your bare skin. ) I eventually had to resort to getting it off with Acetone\u2026 yuck..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

   <\/span>My mom and I went into town to pick up some stuff at the bakery as well as a some wire to string up Diane’s raspberry bushes.. I also got some Velcro for Gabe and Jack B. to use as improved footstraps for his tramp board. It worked great !!..  I had fun bouncing with them.  <\/p>\n

New velcro bindings<\/p>\n

We came back and got ready to take a hike. Mom, Dad and I drove with Chai up to the Safford preserve.. we took the steep brambly path up to the cliffs overlooking west white hill. It’s such a beautiful walk.. It was a beautiful day to be up there.<\/p>\n

   <\/span>I  <\/span>spent the rest of the afternoon puttering around the house and talking with my folks . They are struggling as we are with Sam’s passing.. It’s nice to have them up here and It’s good that they are up here to see how we’re doing.  <\/span>I love them very much.<\/p>\n

   <\/span>Around 8 I went up to MMU for a short meeting about the Voices movie, then met my folks and Gabe at the park and ride on the way to Williston. We all went in to Mexicali<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>  <\/span>to grab a late dinner. Just as we ordered Max showed up which was a nice surprise. We had a really nice dinner outside..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    <\/span>We came home and Gabe did a bit of last minute packing in prep for his trip to camp<\/st1:placetype> Abenaki<\/st1:placename><\/st1:place> tomorrow. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’m excited for him.. and I’m going o miss him like crazy.. On of the things I did to help him get ready was to empty out his digital camera.. he had  <\/span>some really great shots on his camera including some from his snowboarding trip to Oregon<\/st1:place><\/st1:state> 2 weeks ago. I’m posting them here for folks to see. <\/p>\n
