Weathervanes

Apparently in our latest quest for a weathervane for our house, we were informed by a lady in an antique shop in Vermont, that they are a rather pricey item. This was much to our surprise, as neither of us realized that these were items in such high demand.

Anyway, we left her store after finding out from her that we would probably be unsuccesful in locating one nearby.

We ended up going across the street to the general store to get some candy for the kids and surprisingly found one for purchase. Now this was slightly strange, as she had just dashed our hopes of finding one, let alone across the street.

Here is a picture of the one we purchased:

Motorhomes, RVs, Campsites, Oh My!

One of my family's favorite activities is using our motorhome to explore this great nation. We travel to interesting places, eat local foods, but most importantly spend time together.

This last weekend we did a short weekend trip to Vt. We enjoyed good food and good scenery.

Here are a couple of recommended places:

1) Vermont Pub & Brewery







144 College St.
Burlington, Vermont 05401
(802) 865-0500

2) Sweetwaters

SWEETWATERS

120 CHURCH STREETBURLINGTON, VT 05401

(802) 864-9800

Sweetwaters is housed in what was the original site of the Burlington Trust Company. Built in 1925, the building retains its original moldings, cornerstone, clock, and architectural appointments. What were once bank vaults have been converted into walk-in coolers in the lowest level of the restaurant. An original door, gilded with the Burlington Trust Company's name, is still used, and can be found between the ladies' and men's rooms downstairs.On the main floor of the restaurant, you can see the original iron bank security grates above the entrance to the atrium. Security grates have been left on all windows that were originally on the exterior of the building.The atrium, originally an alleyway, was enclosed and glassed over. The wall was covered with a two-story mural, designed and painted by Wendy Copp. The mural is a depiction of life on Church Street in the early 1980's, and includes the faces of many local dignitaries and residents of the Burlington area.

3) Dakin Farms





SMOKED EVERYTHING! Utilizing slow delicate smoke from corn cobs.

OVER THERE

FX Network has a new show called " OVER THERE", that deals with a squad participating in Opertation Iraqi Freedom. As a veteran that has come back from the "sandbox", I find some aspects to be very realistic, and some aspects to be totally unrealistic.

The show just aired it's third episode tonight and it would appear that America is now getting to know the personalities of this squad of motley personnel.

If there are any fans of the show that come across this web site, please feel free to leave a a comment or two.
