Wrapping up our time in northern Vermont

June 23 – I love this relaxing in the morning!  Reminds me of home, oh, I am home!

Today once we had breakfast and showered we headed into Winooski for Bill to get tested for the virus.  He had registered but was not on the roster and he showed his paper I printed.  He's been feeling bad on and off and felt better checking for sure.  There's not much there but we did stop at the post office to mail Bill’s hearing aid in.  One is broken and he was informed it needs to go back to the manufacturer from his doctor.  We had some post cards to mail as well. 

Zee plane, Boss, Zee plane!

While in town several fighter planes flew over.  It took me a bit to realize more were coming and I did manage to get a photo of the last one!  They are loud so I don’t imagine they do much sneaking up on anyone!

We took a short ride to Richmond, VT where the Old Round Church is.  Of course it was closed but it’s very unique and I was able to look in the windows and take some photos.  It’s 2 stories and I could see the stairs but no way to see what is up there.  The church was built in

1812 – 1813.  It’s a bit strange that there are 3 houses literally right next door.  There were some benches out front under the trees so we sat for a while.  It was a very nice day out under the trees.

There was really no place in town to have lunch and we needed a few things at the grocery so we drove back to Shelburne and stopped at a new Hannaford

store.  It’s a bit on the pricy side but then again, it’s a ways for trucks to bring stuff that far north with such a small population.  Mostly needed fresh veggies and some lunch meat.

As soon as we got home we had lunch.  I read for a while as Bill took a nap and then I made a batch of peanut butter bars with peanut butter frosting.  That’s the first thing I’ve baked since we left.  We still have some tea breads in the freezer but the cookies are gone and the ones Jean made of us, so it was time!  They are really good even though I didn’t make them exactly like it said.  I have a bad habit of doing that but most of the time it works out OK. 

I did some posting and worked on photos.  For dinner I simmered the leftover chicken from last night with broth and some sage and then put in some german noodles.  I let the noodles soak up the broth so it wasn’t like soup.  We had a nice fresh crisp salad and peanut butter bars for dessert.

We have been discussing our next move and we have several stops for tomorrow that are not too far apart.  Bill will call a campground in southern NH once we get on the road and see if we can get 2 nights there.  Wal-mart in Massachusetts is our back up plan right now.
