Good Music

Stormy Monday, one of the best live recordings out there, on one of the best live albums ever, At Fillmore East, by The Allman Brothers Band was one of the songs I enjoyed while walking Jake this morning.  Somedays just begin right.

VERMONT WEDDING

We traveled to Burlington, Vermont to participate in and provide support in the marriage of Chris, Linda's nephew, and Nancy. We will post their picture on a later post, but for now, here are some others for you to enjoy. Burlington is a nice little city of 40K on the southeast shore of Lake Champlain, flanked on the eastern side by the Green Mountains. Above is a picture taken in the spiritual service room of the Interfaith Spiritual Center where the wedding took place. It was a beautiful setting with Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains (New York) in the background.

 On Sunday, we did some sightseeing, heading north through some of the northern islands on the lake and then heading east and south through the famous ski hill town of Stowe.

We rounded out our tour with a sweet and delicious visit to the Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory about 30 miles from Burlington, where it all started in 1978. JIR

SUMMER'S HIGHLIGHT

It was a great summer. Linda spent most of it in Montana, and I was able to be there often, sometimes traveling from/to Helena for business travel. The best part was family time. We rendezvoused with our children, which of course includes our adopted ones through marriage. Good food, wine and beer, superb weather, lots of laughs and stories, and that invaluable feeling of togetherness and being one of the same. JIR
