We joined the celebration at Betsy and David’s home, which gets more beautiful with each year. Had a nice dinner with Ron’s high school mates at their 59th reunion. Attended a terrible Amos Fortune Forum presentation by a staffer for Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Had breakfast twice at the Monadnock Corner Cafe and attended the parade, which was a lot of fun. Our hostess and her granddaughter participated.
On the way back, we stopped at a distillery on Humpback Mountain. Best, I got to take pictures of the folk art oil tank “animals” on Route 8.
Returned home just before dark and were stunned by the change in the house by the replacement of the old doors with new 6-panel ones. Turns out the carpenters worked for most of Saturday. The electrician finished several projects, including installation of a range hood, wiring in the third bedroom and a new outlet in the downstairs bath.
The last is worthy of mention because although it wasn’t planned this way, it turns out to be in a good spot to power at least three different devices, including a window fan, Ron’s toothbrush and his hearing aid charging unit.
While we were in Jaffrey, I was able to make arrangements for the Corolla to be repaired at Coggins tomorrow. Just what you want to do when you’re visiting friends.
Although I was generally having a good time, I was so stressed by the activity and conversations that my stomach rebelled while Betsy was trying to show me some lamps she brought home from her antique store shopping trips.
Did some vacuuming, cleaned the big kitchen counter. Made a blueberry pie from frozen berries. Did laundry and rehung the living room curtains.
