wow!! Liz, I sure missed out on a lot......how you keep your cool, I will never know.

Anyway, my trip......great, wonderful, very restful. New England is beautiful, and with some trees beginning to turn, well, it was unbelievable. My cousin lives in Northhampton, so we visited that area, the universities, Amherst, the art department at Smith.....ate in little out of the way places, excellent food......
We traveled through Connecticut, but did not linger, on our way to Brattleboro, Vermont. I could have stayed there forever, such a lovely place. My cousin is a musician, a pianist....he took the week off since I was there, so we just ambled about during the days, took long walks, ate when we wanted....visited the Sojourner Truth house/memorial.....just little things like that. I slept late every day, no responsibilities and I simply relaxed. He is used to late nights, and he has a great sound system, in the evenings we watched old movies, some in b/w.....we watched old Beatles interviews, and he has 3 climate controlled rooms of records/cd's/old 78's/etc....so we had music playing constantly.
We were very close growing up, but because we did not fit into the family mold of doctors/lawyers/etc we were usually hanging out together at family gatherings. I painted a picture for him while there, and he gave me tons of his cd's.........
so that is about it.
came home to ethan and Alyn, and here is ethan buttering his toast this morning.
Nite all...it's great to be back....I have missed all of you.
