Thursday July 31, 2025 Rainy day - Catching up with cousins

Our last day in Vermont (unless we return next week..). John’s cousins Paul and Mary asked if we could meet them for lunch to catch up. They visited us in Arizona and we had a lovely time with them in Bisbee two years ago. This morning was just leisurely chatting, laundry and cleaning out our van, and it felt  good to have a minimal schedule, especially on a rainy day.

  We met Paul and Mary at The Marina Restaurant in Brattleboro, which is behind the (former) roller skating rink I broke my leg on 60+ years ago.

Back to Vernon (more rain) and we spent the afternoon cleaning the van up, resetting all the fluids, more reading and naps. Love rainy days.

Dave and John picked up a pizza in Bernardston and Dave brought out the “microwave” chocolate cake he got from Brian’s wife. Then we packed for tomorrow when we head to Long Island to see our daughter Hannah and her partner Erick.
