Most of last week was cloudy with some rain off and on and temperatures in the 50s and 60s. Friday was the best day last week. It was sunny for most of the day. One day last week we had some sun, then some rain, then some sleet, more rain and then the sun again. It was also windy out. What a day!
Dereck and Edna Lafountain went to a birthday party plus retirement party for their son-in-law, Gordy, in Waterbury on Sunday. Gordy has been the ranger at the boy scout camp in Eden for the past 24 years. Many people attended his party.
Steve and I stayed at home all last week except for when we went out for groceries. I got some work done around the house. All my snowmen are now put away. Some of my spring and summer decorations are out, but I hope to finish the rest this week. I also finished balancing our checkbooks, paid bills, went through some papers and wrote some notes to people.
On Monday, an inspector for Efficiency Vermont came to inspect the work their workers did a couple of weeks ago. Everything checked out which was good to hear.
We didn’t have our family meal together on Sunday. Mark’s family was sick, so we all stayed and ate in our own homes. I had made two pies the night before for our meal, not knowing Jenn and our grandkids would still be sick. I made a silky chocolate cream pie and a no-bake cheesecake. I shared some of the pies with Mark’s family and I took some over to Paul and Rhoda on Monday. I took Mark’s share of the pies down to them Sunday afternoon. I knocked at their door, handed the pieces of pie to Mark at the door and then left. I didn’t want to catch anything. At my age, it’s alright to be cautious.
