Our plumber needed to shut off the water to replace the pipes leading to the sewer, so we elected to spend the day in Bennington.
We had a great day.
Originally we were going to check in to a motel but they’d forgotten to add our reservation to their system, so we were able to cancel without charge.
We had a veg lunch at the Blue Benn. Ron was surprised that a diner would have a variety of vegetarian options. We couldn’t find much music to play, though.
We spent most of the day, before and after lunch, at the Bennington Museum. Ron was enthralled, so much so that a staff member had to track him down before locking the door for the night.
High school students’ artwork was the subject of one exhibit, and we were struck by several pieces that showed exceptional talent.
While Ron finished his museum viewing after lunch, I walked through the museum’s flower garden and spent the next hour and a half in a spacious pavilion enjoying a thunderstorm.
We came home to find that the ceiling and most of the walls in the “office” were sheetrocked and the new plumbing installed.
Paid the permit fee for the next project, the big one. Missed Norman while we were gone. Ryan and company spent the day here and finished drywalling.
I installed a new Roku purchased yesterday at Bennington Walmart on the way home. It took a while but seems to be working well now.
Unfortunately, my PBS account is not working correctly. My Passport membership is with WGBH but because of where we live, the channel insists on routing me to stations available to Western Mass. That means I can’t access premium shows like Masterpiece.
I’m still wondering if our router is “off” in some way.
