Over the Green Mtns of VT to Matt's
Nicole, Matt, and Faye
We made a stop in Rutland for fuel and to pick up Chinese takeout to take to Matt, and then headed over the Sherburn pass from Rutland to Killington, listening to every tick and burp in the truck, hoping that the first of the Green Mountains wouldn’t be too much for it. The truck performed admirably, and we made it to my brother Matt’s place in Barnard in plenty of time for our takeout dinner with Matt, his wife Nicole, and 3-year-old Faye.
We spent the entire Thanksgiving weekend eating, drinking, and working on Matt & Nicole’s kitchen, a project begun in August on the truck and camper’s first ill-fated venture out of the state, when the truck ended up spending the week in Utica having its transmission rebuilt, while Matt drove to Utica with his truck to retrieve Tom, me, the dogs, and the camper for our August week in Vermont. My cousin Biz, her husband Matt, and their children Ellie and Will live not too far from Matt and Nicole, and my Aunt Dot and UBill were at their Vermont house not too far beyond that, so we were well fed, watered, and entertained for the weekend. Tom and Matt managed to get all of the cabinets into Matt’s kitchen without too much dismantling of door frames and walls, and by the time we left on Sunday, all but one of the cabinets were installed.
