There are a lot of fun things to do with the help of Mother Nature's resources. There are so many things you can do & see. Vermont takes time to see! Enjoy favorite pastimes in the Summer such as hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, or paddling and of course playing a round of golf on smoothly gr…

It was about 1 ½ hours from Concord to the Quechee Gorge. That’s the nice thing about the New England states, they are small. You can drive for 90 minutes from Denver in any direction and not even be out the state yet. (Well maybe if you head north, you would just clear the Wyoming border). We s…

I have the good fortune of living directly off of I-91in Vermont, just south of the Canadian border, a mere 1.5 hours from Coventry on any normal day.  We had the luxury of staying at home and keeping an eye on weather updates.  We, and the two friends of ours who drove up from Virginia t…

I finally got to visit the big “B” of the Northeast.  Yes, Bennington, Vermont!  I was supposed to see the other “B”oston six times already this summer, but it didn’t happen thanks to high gas prices, crowded schedules and other various reasons.  I am supposed to go this Fa…

Lori and Tori and I were great friends during our freshmen year at Texas A&M University at Galveston.  We ran all around together and got along like peas and carrots.  Lori and Tori lived together in the dorms for a semester, and when Lori left Galveston after our first year, they kep…

8pm Already routine life feels almost surreal -- I feel like we’ve left NY a week ago. Today we saw lots and lots… I took about a hundred gorgeous, precious pictures with my fantastic new camera. I left my incessant mind behind and truly enjoyed the day. I basked in the greenery that was …

Spent a long weekend hiking in Whiting, Vermont, just outside Middleburry.

This little college town that borders Lake Champlain is everything one would expect from a New England town ... and more! When my daughter announced she would be attending college there, I was thrilled! Having visited the town a few times to visit a friends daughter, I knew of some of its charms al…

Another beautiful Vermont day, mainly because the threat of rocketing down a mountain on waxed sticks never entered the picture.  It was really a perfect Vermont day, the sun was warm and the snow was still pretty and white, plus the trees are starting to be tapped for syrup -- it was almost N…

I ended the day driving to Montpelier Vermont. One thing you'll see along these two lane highways are piles of logs outside each of the houses. I'm sure this is one of those places that's immune to global warming in the winter, but after driving through the area in the summer, you can understa…

    After hanging out last night at Eli's, it was time to head into Burlington to see my other cousin Aurina (Eli's sister). Since it was sunny and beautiful out (although slightly too windy for my liking), I put my bike rack on the car and loaded my bike and Eli's on there. Aroun…

Now that things for China are falling into place, I've decided to spend some time exploring my own state (and area).  I started by going to Quechee Gorge (pronounced KWEE-CHEE).  I'd been by it *so* many times on Route 4 going to I-89 (all the times to West Leb, Dartmouth, Maine).  M…

I'm still in absolute denial about it, but yes, camp is over.  The campers all left yesterday and it was a little sad to see them go.  Today, however, all the counselors left and it was absolutely heartbreaking.  Living 24/7 with people for 8 weeks, you get to make some pretty specia…

I went up to Burlington, VT to visit my sister this weekend. When I was heading home  like 5 minutes after I got on the highway I noticed how awesome the mountains looked with the fog over the tops of them. So being really dumb I pulled my car over on 89 , got out and snapped a couple pictures…
