Vermont
We recently spent time with Lucy while Jessica was costume designer for “The Importance of Being Earnest” at Northern 
Stage in White River Junction, Vermont. Sally Jo traveled by train and spent one week with Lucy and Jessica before Ron drove out to spend the second week. What a fun two weeks!
When Sally Jo first arrived at the condo where Jessica and Lucy were staying there was a fair amount of snow on the ground. Since Sally Jo did not have a car, she and Lucy read, did “art”, “played,” and explored the small area around the condo.
The weekend that Ron arrived, Jessica had a day off and we all explored Quechee Gorge. The scenery was beautiful but the trail was very icy. It made for very slow and careful hiking.
Other days Lucy, Ron, and Sally Jo visited Billings Farm near Woodstock, King Arthur Flour near Norwich, the railway station in White River Junction, Montshire Museum of Science near Norwich, and VINS; Vermont Institute of Natural Science near Quechee. We saw many large raptors at VINS but realize that we have no photos because it was COLD and we didn’t spend much time outside!
The big snowstorm came through the night (Friday) before we were to leave. We received only about 12-15 inches of snow where we were in Vermont. The road crews were very efficient and we were able to leave by mid-morning Saturday. We had beautiful scenery as we drove through Vermont and upstate New York. We were disappointed to return to Goshen and find no snow!
