Haunted: CLICK HERE FOR PROOF!
Tom and I spend a night in Room 24. We laughed at the concept of a haunted room.
We aren't laughing anymore.

A Night of TERROR!
I entered the Colonial Inn in Concord, MA at 6 p.m. on Friday October 12th. I left the next day a changed person.

Awesome Parent Moment
Put together a really cool October/Halloween Care Package for Maeve. Lots of cool stuff in that box (even snuck in some VT cheddar/mustard and pretzels!). Neither Tom nor I take the blame for the Avril Levigne DVD - she ASKED us to send some old DVD's...that one was the scariest so we put it in the clutches of the skeleton.

CAMP IS CLOSED!!!!!!!
As much as I prefer to open camp vs. close camp, there is something bittersweet about closing up camp that I also enjoy.
Tom and I spent Saturday doing all "our" (read: MY) favorite things - lunch at Simon Pearce and a stop at Scotland by the Yard in Quechee, Chapman's for some holiday gifts and to say good-bye to Mrs. Chapman & Alita, pick up some cheddar at Bev's farm stand to mail to Maeve at college, wander around Farmway in Bradford, and dinner in Lyme.
My brother Al joined us on Sunday around 10 am, giving Tom and I a chance to have breakfast at the diner first
There was a period of stress in taking in the dock - as regardless of best efforts, the boat wouldn't start. AAARRGH! Boats suck. OUR boat sucks. We were supposed to meet Celia from the Fairlee Marine at the boat landing at 11, clearly that wasn't going to happen. No one was answering the phone at the marine and they had no answering machine, so I drove over there - closed on Sunday. I knew our contact there was named Celia - found her on linked-in, she lived in bradford, but isn't listed. SO, I drove to the landing to meet her to let her know that the boat was not moving off our dock. We were all done with close-up sans taking in the dock, which we couldn't do until we got the boat out....so, Tom and Al decided to ROW the boat over to the landing. Fast forward, It's now 11:30, I am still at the landing...still no Celia and the boys continue their strenuous row....what if they FINALLY get there and Celia doesn't show - they have to row back - we can't take in the dock....what the F are we going to do? "Good News" - Celia had a flat on her truck, was delayed, but DID meet us at the landing eventually.
LUCKY Tom and Al got to take in the dock after all:
AND, then, we say our final good bye's!
SIDE NOTE: Jack and Nancy got this TOTALY cool sign for Camp:

Low Maintenance?
I don't THINK so!
I got this freebie garden mini-mag/coupon-provider in the mail today - I appear to be on some sort of 'Bernie Madoff' gardening ponzi scheme list.
My instant reaction? Thank You No.
Gimme a:
- "This Garden Will Kick-your-Ass" column ? I'm there!
- "Why Are All Your New Expensive Shrubs Dead"? Count me in!
- "You married for 'better or worse', but really, look at that lawn"? You're singing my tune
Low Maintenance??!!!
Not my gig.
