Zac's Solo Erie Canal Bike Trip - The End

A little dirty - but he looks happy!

Wells, Vermont Hike

Every time I visit Zac he has me do some sort of physical activity – I figure it is his method of gauging how long it will be before he has to take care of me. This visit we climbed some mountain that over looked Lake St. Catherines. Living and walking on flat St Simons Island definitely does not prepare you for a mountain hike. I did make it but with lots of huffing and puffing. View was beautiful. Surprisingly, no sore muscles the next day.

Vermont Again - November 09

This year Zac’s Birthday fell on Turkey day- but the plane fare was so expensive that I traveled to Vermont the week before to celebrate his 37^th (Boy does that make me feel old). No big party but we did have a couple of nice dinners out, some great garlic fries and best part - a boat ride! The weather was unseasonably warm for late November so took a friends boat out on Lake Bomoseen.

Not Willie's Weenee Wagon Dogs But.......

When you are in Troy NY try the “Famous Lunch” restaurant. They have tiny little hotdogs with tiny soft buns with their version of Chili ontop. They are really good but they aren’t Willies.

Zac's New Sculptures

Zac's New Sculptures

He has a couple of new art installations up. One is installed in Salem NY and one in Bennington VT. He is working part time at Salem Art Works – SAW- www.salemartworks.com and spends the rest of his time working on their house and garden.

Blueberry Picking, Horseshoes, Canoeing, and Reconnecting

I did my “every 3 months” trip to Vermont to see Zac and Nicole. Weather was beautiful: sunny and COOL. Leaves were JUST starting to change. (But Nicole was refusing to acknowledge the orange and yellow colors sneaking up in hopes that she could hold off Winter for a few more weeks.)

They are still making progress on their house: new front door, windows and siding. Looks like they are saving the big job of the kitchen for next year. It is amazing what they have accomplished in just a few years with their 1870’s home.

Side Note: I put both the June and July Vermont Photos is the same album
