Our apartment has been busy lately, with 3 visitors in the past few weeks. Our friends Charlie and Sarah drove in from Boston for a weekend, and the cold did not stop our exploring. We went to Hanover and Dartmouth, of course, but also on a hike to a fire-tower in Vermont. With the fall colors nearing peak, it was gorgeous. There was much cheering for Vanderbilt that night, as they continued their winning season, and we felt as if we were back in Nashville when we whipped out Scrabble. It was so nice to see familiar faces!
As Brian headed to south Texas and Mexico, I enjoyed a visit from my mom and some warm weather. They went to Dartmouth and the fire-tower again, but it seemed so different in the sunshine, and the foliage hit the peak of color. There were fall festivals and tent sales abound, to take advantage of the “leaf peepers” from New York, New Jersey, Canada, and Europe. The small Vermont roads were packed! The visit was filled with hikes, shopping, old movies, and sorting through wedding photos. The small-town feel hit home at the tiny diner in town, only open until 2, where few items on the menu cost more than $4. The weekend was relaxing, but flew by!
Brian made it back safe and sound, and did not miss all the enjoyable weather and colors of Autumn before a trip to Florida. Taking advantage of my sister working at Disney World, we are leaving for a long weekend in Orlando before he starts his work commitments.
I have continued to search for a job, recently interviewing for a part-time position teaching pre-school gymnastics. The pediatric RN positions are trying my patience, dragging on the interviewing processes for weeks. This makes it impossible to make plans for holiday travels!
