Well, the dear man has been here for two days, and sadly, he came at our busiest week of the summer! So, it's a peaceful rest-stop instead of an exciting adventure. No visits to wineries, no shanty sings, just bird-watching on the porch and errand runs to Keene (he said something about " fat quarters"-I don't think it was a rude allusion to my weight...!).

Tonight he gets to be the only adult at a children's concert we are giving, then tomorrow we must bid him farewell, as he hies him hence to more adventures!
