Karen, I'm sorry to hear about your mom but glad that she's recovering well. Yes Vermonter's are tough and they weather well. I think Lori is back but not talking here yet. I'll check with her today and see.

We had a 32 degree morning this week and 37 right after. Some plants are down even though they were covered. 80's yesterday and this weekend too. Fall in the county is always all over the weather map! Great soccer weather though and the nights are cool for sleeping.

Karen, Sorry to hear about your Mom.........but glad she is doing okay................I just got back from Baltimore and Brandon.........my sister had a water gusher at 2:30 am in the morning and Mom and I went to clean up...........not sure what the insurance will cover............I think I got "shot" at by VT DMV on 91 coming back from Spfld............I think it is one of those new picture ones...............they have them all over England, was wondering when they would do it here...........I was going 70, will see if I get a post card from the VT DMV (wink), of course those Ct plates don't help, either.........have a good weekend................Roland, I see a storm a brewind down your way.........how far are you from the coast? I remember our days with hurricanes and am glad I don't have to deal with them any more..............we never evacuated, always rode it out................take care all.................

Sooooooo hard to believe its fall already. Having fun here in Mamphsis for a few weeks. Jaunts out into Ar and out lying towns close here in TN and MS. Still in the high 80's and about 70 something at night. Looks like rain coming in from TX. I'm lucky. Both my parents are in their mid 80's. Mom still travels and uses her computer. Dad's in AZ and loving the weather. Course the true French and Irish are just stubborn you know, ha ha. Found out my Caravan will be slightly over 100 the other day by mistake. Drafting a truck while coming back from Jackson, oops...... very smooth ride. Technology really IS good. Still running the ac on high due to the himidity. Finding some great places to eat and meeting some really nice locals and learning the REAL places to go when I have spare time. MS has casinos which are only 8mi away. I'm not much of a gambler but like to eat and people watch.

I miss Lori, too!

Hi, spent the last 10 days in VT. My mom had a heart attack, angioplasty, and two stents. She is doing very well and early thoughts are that the damage was minimal. Both my parents are 79, still in their home and taking care of 6 acres, gardens and snow removal. Mom was digging out a stump on their property when this happenned. Vermonters are great, aren't they?????? Sure did feel like fall up there at the end of my stay. Does anyone know when Lori is returning to the US?
