So we never ended up making it to any of the local events, but I will say this. Having grown up in California and finding the wherewithal to complain anytime the temperature dropped below 60 degrees, I am impressed how active people are in the Winter and how they even go so far as to celebrate the season. You have to love that. We missed out on the Hartland Winter Fest and the Magic Show, which was kind of a bummer but it wasn't because we were lounging around the house doing nothing. Saturdays are just hard because we can't seem to forsake our day in Hanover and the library, though we did skip the skating part and our lives were all the simpler because of it.
Ruth and I have been thinking a lot about the current economic climate, and we want to be optimistic about the future, but we've really gone and screwed things up, and things really aren't looking so good. Then again, you have to believe in something, and one thing about living in Vermont is that it really nurtures a spirit of independence and self-sufficiency. Even if you don't achieve the maximum state of self-reliance, there are so many ways that your life moves in that direction just by virtue of living in New England, and we like that idea.
Until the next time, my name is Fred Lee, and thanks for reading.
