Less than 2 weeks ago we took a little getaway to Southern Vermont. Even though I was born in Vermont and have spent half my life there I usually just "run" ( I use the term very, very loosely here) back and forth to Burlington to catch up with my parents. Bob has never spent much time in Vermont, being a Native Bay Stater ( is that what you call people born and raised in Massachusetts??) so we are having fun exploring parts of the state that he has never seen. It gives him a chance to find covered bridges, diners and train stations to photograph. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and Mother Nature was kind enough to keep a lot of golden leaves on the maples. The day in Bennington was a day to remember weatherwise, scenerywise and of course companywise. Just a great day. Most are Bob's photos and I am sure you can tell the difference between his stunning photos and my "click while passing" shots. Enjoy some autumn in Vermont...it is the BEST!
$750K, seems a steal to me...and I love a Greek Revival style home...c.1830...bay window on left side...*sigh*...
All houses were in Old Bennington, a neighborhood surrounding the monument. All have very large lots that overlook Bennington or surrounding farmland.
A day to remember...thank you Bob :)
Later,
Janet
Today marks the 24th Anniversary of my ( our) move to Massachusetts. I was so excited to move to the Greater Boston area with my husband and our two sons. The boys were 4and a half and 7 months old and I felt like it was the biggest adventure of our lives. We had lived in Massachusetts before: in the Berkshires in college and then in Boston and Newburyport before kids. What a fun time we had, but then returned home to Vermont to put down roots. When the opportunity came for a transfer to Boston I was elated. The day we arrived was hot, very hot as in 98 degrees and luckily my parents came down to help us unpack and get the boys settled in. Little did I know that less than three years later my life would crumble around me and I would be required to rebuild. But rebuild I did and here I am, standing proud and packing for my Mediterannean Cruise with the man of my dreams who dotes on me every single day. Life sure can be strange, but it surely can be good.
