Vermont

On the way to Vermont, we took the ferry across Lake Champlain, as we typically do.

It was rather a gray and cloudy and cool day.  Still, in the distance, you can see "Camel's Hump", the name of the mountain in the distance in the center of the photo.

Sitting in the living room at Gerry's daughter's house,  the large window perfectly frames the same mountain, though much closer.

Part of the purpose of this trip was to participate in "grandparents day" events at the Waldorf School where two grandchildren attend in Shelburne.  Another purpose was to see some family members we haven't seen in a while.  We enjoyed a nice family dinner.

We attended a school concert on Thursday night and the quality of the student performance was awesome,  but I must say that the Community Chorus (parents, teachers, adults, anyone who wanted to) was out of this world.   It was a tight space, and a very large chorus.  The acoustics were excellent.  The power of the music almost blew me away.  I wish I knew the name of the first song they sang  (a classic/by classic composer) but I turned my program in to be reused the next night.  I knew I would not remember the name of it, and I don't.

It proved to be a very interesting weekend with surprises, connections, good company and the delight of a glorious sunset!
