Anyway, also dropping in to pay a visit was Mike's brother, Kevin. You can easily distinguish him from Mike, because he is tall, skinny, wears glasses...and drives a BRAND NEW CAR!!!
Yes-we spent much of the weekend helping Kevin making the difficult adjustment from having no car to having a 2012 Volkswagen Golf (replete with an awesome diesel engine, 6-speed manual, and plenty of trunk space).
We also took a trip to the local garden center to find the perfect pumpkin for the homestead, and were happy to find that our childhood standards for a "perfect" pumpkin had been relaxed somewhat over the years.
While our new pumpkin friend stayed home to guard the house, Charlotte, Kevin, I, and a 1-person umbrella headed out for a nice walk around the neighborhood, unaware of the rather serious weather we were about to encounter.
Anyway, after drying off, taking another walk, more driving practice, and some super-bien pumpkin pancakes, it was back to the Molly Stark Trail (most of the pioneers probably didn't do their trek in both directions, like we had to)! Although we had a nice trip back (which included a stop at the very beloved Honest Weight Food Coop and the mind-boggling Oliver's Beverage Center), we only brought our camera out at one stop: Hogback Mountain overlook in southern Vermont. So enjoy, and we'll regroup here in Kittery soon!
Goodnight!
