Brandon, Vermont, home of brother, Bruce, Sis-in
-law, Mary Lou, assorted cats, goats, a contraption
and the Bag. Bruce and Mary-Lou live in a house
older than the country, with a creek running through
the basement and tombstones (from a previous "home
business") as yard decorations.
As a wood shaper he peruses his own woods for raw
materials and what he can't shape or sell they burn
to keep the cats warm during the cold Vermont winter
evenings.
A
couple of cats basking, or,as the case may be a
couple of basking cats.
B & ML recently took up curling and seem to be
having fun sliding big rocks, sweeping the ice and
falling down.
.
We went on a several mile hike across the lake from
Fort Ticonderoga,"mined" 600+ pounds of slate for what I had planned
as a slate path but have since decided to build a
yard sized Stonehenge and visited the bridge through
which Champ tore..
.
--and visited a couple that produce mohair mittens
and socks from the initial planting of a gaggle of
angora goats, through the growth and harvest
seasons, to the weaving and production.

they wear. Here dressed for an evening out
Spinning
I later learned that keeping tension "just
right" is exactly like working with molten glass
