Rest of the Week

Per Geo's request, I am updating on the rest of the vacation week. With me still recovering from pneumonia, it was pretty low key.

A Georgia O'Keefe exhibit has been featured at the Shelburne Museum, so we took that in, along with other exhibits on the grounds. What I especially appreciated were O'Keefe's representations of Lake George.

Another day found us on the road, with Lucy, to Manchester. We really didn't do any shopping, but we did enjoy the drive there and back. Geo had the opportunity to see the Bose products at the store. Am trying to convince him to get the noise-cancelling headset, but so far, he is not buying.

And another day during the week, again with Lucy in tow, we visited President Calvin Coolidge birthplace and historical sites. A delightful day. Plymouth Notch is a place with rural beauty and charm, seemingly far removed from the fast pace of our modern day. It was so relaxing to be there, especially sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the porch of one of the old buildings, just taking in the scenery. The day was overcast, but the rain held off. We took part in the cheese-tasting - I favored the cheddar smoked variety, and we bought an apple pie. We also purchased a newly republished book of Calvin Coolidge letters.

We also took time to see Little Miss Sunshine. I also read a few books, the best being Julia Alvarez's SAVING THE WORLD (two novels in one, cleverly written.)

Now if I read my last paystub correctly, I still have some "Use or Lose" vacation time. More time off before October!
