Final days in Vermont

Our final day in burlington was spent at the Beach.  It reached 82, which was warm enough to brave the water and throw a little disc.  We started with lunch.  A plentiful spread of cheeses, hummus, pesto, salsa, bread, carrots, and these delightful pita chip things, that I must tell Kroger to start carrying.
After beach time, we enjoyed dinner with Bryan and his fiance' Elizabeth.  We met BY long long ago, when Daron first went to Burlington and he brought this rag tag team down to Arctic Vogue.  BY was among the players and we have the joy of playing along side him in many a tournament.  I think we even won a few with him.  
Our last day in Vermont included a long drive down the spine of Vermont to visit our long lost friend Herbi.  Herbi worked with Kent at BH and we have enjoyed her friendship for many years.  about five years ago, she received her Ph.D and pursued a faculty position in up state NY.  Although we've seen her a few times when she came back to Athens, this was the first time we have seen her in Vermont.  And let me tell you, if you know Herbi, know that she is in her element.  Herbi and her partner own 10 acres of land on a mountain the overlooks another mountain.  Her garden is bountiful and the dogs (Yep, she still has ruby and spike) run free.  

Here we are chowing at the beach.  It was a little overcast at first but then the sun came out.


Herbster at home.



Spike and Rubes!!!


Btw, spike still chases the ball like it's crack.  Some things never change.
