My daughter in Vermont is fine, but after looking around at the videos people shot and posted here, I was going, wow. It’s almost like they had an inland tsunami. Given the 11″ of rain they had, the mountains everywhere, the already-saturated ground and the fact that the people mostly live in the valley areas…
We drove through some of the state two years ago. It’s a lovely, lovely place of fog and pine and views and people who look out for each other and, according to Mr. Ben and Mr. Jerry, colorful cows.
I hope Jill’s shop came out of it okay, but more importantly Jill and everyone else out there.
Meanwhile, we have the much tamer whirlwind here of getting Michelle ready to go back out to grad school. Ordinary life. It’s a blessed thing to be able to have.

Mr. Ben and Mr. Jerry are two of the most dependable guys in my posse. New York Super Fudge Chunk has been my favorite for over 20 years now.

Glad to hear Vermont Daughter is okay. Hope the shop and its keeper are too.

Comment by kristy phipps 08.31.11 @ 8:26 amThank Heaven that Sam is all right. I met her that one time that I visited you, and she had to lift me out of the chair in which I was stuck.
Comment by Don Meyer 08.31.11 @ 8:41 amWe are all fine here in Essex Junction as is Jill’s shop. The devastation in Vermont is unbelievable but good people live here and are helping each other out. There’s a web site set up for help needed, help offered. Folks are giving strangers free shelter and food, taking in pets and much more.
Glad your daughter is safe.
I can say that I am proud to be a Vermonter.
