August 2011 I went back home for the second time to Vermont for my step -dad's funeral. I visited most of the area and my old stomping grounds and spent time with friends during both visits. I took plenty of pictures and have plenty to be Thankful for. I got to spend time with people that I had made Life Long friendships with and it didn't feel like it had been 30 years since we were together. Friends made in 1975 to 1979 in a small town.
I lived in Rutland, Vermont and moved to Tinmouth in the summer of 1975. Lived there for a year and moved to Middletown Springs. Lived there for a year and moved to Poultney, Vermont for my 10th - 12th grades in High School. All these towns are so small and just quaint with plenty of character that makes me home sick. This graveyard we used to play in at night for "Ghost in the Graveyard".
I helped my mom with getting her house cleaned up from 5 years of medical supplies that were used to take care of Ray. We went for drives and took plenty of pictures from the tops of some mountain tops to valleys and the place that I met Terry Scanlon right here in Middletown Springs on New Years Eve 1978 going into 1979 the year I graduated from High School.We married August 1980.
As you can see that the scenery is breathtaking and plush and green. Some of my friends have never been "east" and want to go during the fall to see what I grew up with. Maple trees, beautiful churches, colonial homes and old farm homes.
2011 was a very busy year. Backing up to July; our family cabin was being updated with a new roof for the garage and new siding for the cabin and the garage. It was the HOTTEST summer on record with humidity at 110%! NO A/C! It was miserable!
This is how humid it was. Every window in our home was covered with moisture. I took this picture when I looked outside while making meals for our family in the A/C to take to our cabin 7 miles up the road, there was a perfect heart that dripped into creation on the window.
My brother in law and my husband were sweating miserably up on the rooftop!
Our 9th grandchild turned 1! We can't believe how many little blessing that have been filling our lives for the past two years.
My daycare children were abundant this year and they were ready with helping hands and trying to stay cool during our summer. Time just got away form me and that was just a simple fact as being my own business owner and having 9 grandkids to play with when I was off and our two month cabin project. Life just goes and goes. So much has happened and maybe I can get this updated and keep up? LOL, we will see!
