We had a light breakfast at Ginny's and said our goodbyes. First stop was to visit an old school friend of Deb’s, Laurie Pfund-Byron, who we had seen a few years back at Deb’s campus school reunion. She has a lovely spot near Deb’s old home in Oswego and she showed us her plan book for her trip later this year travelling down RT 1 on the east coast. Very organized. Sadly we realized that we'd forgotten to take selfies of either us with Ginny or Laurie... another item to add to our checklist! Then we did a quick drive by of Deb’s childhood home and it looked pretty much the same. Someone bought it to use as a summer lakeside home last year and it was good to see it in such good shape.
Then a fuel stop just east of Mexico, NY, and the trip through the back roads of upstate New York that we have been taking for the past 35 years visiting Deb’s home from Vermont. Lots of memories on this road. We made a stop in Speculator and they were setting up for the fire department chicken barbecue. Seems everyone in New York was having a yard sale today, a good Memorial day tradition we suppose.
Then we crossed the bridge into Vermont where soft ice cream becomes creemees and the greenery seems a bit more green and the houses a bit more tidy.
Tonight we stay at our old friends Dave and Deb in Charlotte. It was so good to see them, and we ordered pizza out and talked all night. A quick Ted Lasso episode so we were all caught up and then off to bed. We made it all the way to Vermont from Arizona!!
