AMAZING TOUR!!!!

Though I don't know their names, I had the most amazing tour yesterday. A non-member couple came through and they were so nice and cordial. They asked a ton of questions and showed great interest in the answers I gave them. The spirit directed my speech and the things I said I wouldn't have said a year ago. This is why I want to be on a mission the rest of my days. Oh...I know I will want to take some time off, but I will be back on one as soon as it is possible. The picture is one of a group that came through late last year, but they are the only ones of whom I took a picture.

These two pictures are of the monument that I took with my cheapo camera and my cellphone. Don't critique them, just imagine what they would look like with a good camera.

RESTFULL DAY OFF...YEAH RIGHT!!

Well...the snow is all gone now and the temperature was at 81 or higher today. We decided to go to Quechee and Woodstock today. Woodstock is a fun little town that has some fantastic old homes in it. Quechee has the "gorge" and it is beautiful as you can see.

I'll put in the sign so you can read all the things about this place. Neat huh?!


This last picture is to show that the snow was here up until a few days ago...and it is only March. What's it going to be like? I don't know, but the temperature is supposed to be in the 50's tomorrow. :)

CRITTERS...CRITTERS...CRITTERS!!!

We have been told by the locals here that it is not a good idea to have bird feeders out because the bears will come to try to get to them. We took them down after seeing this creature sitting there eating his lunch.

Then we saw these tracks and started to wonder what it may be. We don't know and have only conjecture to go on. We are maybe a little afraid to ask anyone!!

These signs of "whatever" made us stop and think about going for walks in the woods. Could it be...? Oh, I don't know. I thought at first it could be elephant, or maybe rhino, but then my "sane" mind told me it was likely the neighborhood dog! What say you? Having lived in Alberta for a great deal of my life, I have never seen tracks anything like these. Comments please.

MONUMENT AND MOON & CHAPEL!!!

Today the moon was full and the sky was clear...a rare occurrence here in Vermont! We had an awesome day even though we weren't on duty today. We had a casual ride down to Lebanon for groceries and dined out a Wendy's. After getting to the apartment, I went to the site and took a few pictures. It was very difficult to balance where I had to shoot from and so there were very few that showed what I wanted to show without them being blurry. Enjoy anyway...I did!!!
