Vermont is gorgeous, even in the rain. The foliage is not quite at peak stage, but the mountain vistas of muted autumn colors are still breathtaking.
And Quechee Gorge is astounding!
Beau has such terrific friends -- whom I of course have adopted as my own. Take Nancey and Alan Coppotelli, Beau's good friends and former clients, who took time off to come up to their beautiful Quechee vacation home and meet us while we were here! Do you believe that?
They have given us a tour and wined and dined us -- great homemade gumbo, Nancey! They even let us do our laundry at their house. What wonderful people. We ate and drank too much, of course, and had a lot of laughs last night. Today they are taking us to the picturesque town of Woodstock (in the rain) after treating us to lunch at Simon Pearce, a well known Quechee restaurant -- we can't talk them into letting us pay because they have gobs of gift certificates! Simon Pearce is also a glass-blowing center, so I am sure we will be sorry we no longer have a house to fill with glassware. Oh well, it will be nice to look.
A super looking couple, aren't they? Thanks, Nancey and Alan! You are the greatest and we are so grateful for your hospitality, thoughtfulness, and generosity.
But Beau and I had better start an exercise regime very, very soon.
Tanks, Panky
Laura,
ReplyDeleteIf you are coming north, specifically to Montpelier, the smallest capitol in the U.S., please, please stop by to see us. We do work (teach in the local high school) but can generally be home by 3:30. We have a large driveway for parking a RV and even have enough room to practice U-turns. Give it a thought. 802-223-7020 (h) 802-225-8196 (w) Jody@mpsvt.org JodybMcGraw@ comcast.com
