With a heavy heart, we leave Morrisville this morning to head home (via a slightly circuitous route). It's been great being here and visiting with all the family. It was completed yesterday with Danny's arrival home for the weekend. That led to a great evening of Tom III's lasagna (three different types to accommodate everyone's dietary wishes), followed by a slide show of Danny's travels in New Zealand while he spent a semester abroad. Makes you want to visit the land down under!
When we left Stu and Mary Ann's yesterday morning, we went west across NH and Vermont before heading north to Morrisville. More beautiful scenery, typical New England vistas, and through the cities of Barre and Montpelier (the capitol) I think Montpelier is the only state capitol smaller than our Carson City! Barre is the center of granite production - some day we'll have to visit the Rock of Ages Quarry and get the big picture.
Last night after dinner and the picture show, God decided to try and outdo Danny with an awesome thunder and lightning display followed by a huge downpour. Neat watching the lightning and hearing the thunder as it rolled across the valley in front of their house. When Char and the boys left, they had to remove some small trees which had fallen across the road to Tom III's.
We're heading to North Bay today in Ontario, Canada and will write more from there. As we figure it, it's almost a straight line from Morrisville, VT to Fargo - it's just that it takes three days to traverse that straight line. Leaving here on Saturday means we'll be able to get home sooner and it's been a long month and we're ready to be home! Hopefully, after several days in Fargo, we'll be home for the weekend (or at least part of it).
