Day 109: A Lovely Day

Woke up with a smile in a comfy bed. Did a full stretch and read my AT book a bit. Tattoo and Scatters woke up and soon we were in the kitchen with Steve and Anita as they made us a wonderful breakfast. So good!




After breakfast, we headed into the town of Great Barrington to pick up packages at the post office and to resupply at the grocery store. Scatters got her new pack delivered, and I got my sleeping bag. Then we wandered around the cute downtown area for a half hour before going to the grocery store. Then we hit up an awesome roadside restaurant for lunch. Our plan was to buy Steve and Anita lunch as a thank you, but instead they bought US lunch. Too generous! And lunch was very good. (I always talk about food on this blog, don't I...)




After lunch on this beautiful day, we drove along the lovely country roads back to the house. We all needed a nap! I got my food bag in order and then we turned on a movie, and I fell asleep. What a great zero day!


We mucked around a bit, then Anita and Steve left for a dinner party. Tattoo fixed up a few steaks on the grill, and we tossed on asparagus and corn, too. We had another GREAT meal!!! Tattoo - what a great cook!

We bummed around and made a few calls. Scatters and Tattoo played a game of chess. We ate raspberry/peach tart/pie with ice cream for dessert, and now it's time to sleep again. It will be very hard to leave this wonderful place tomorrow morning. Hoping this gorgeous weather trend continues.

Stucco.

Great blog. Please say hello to Xan, Neutron, MJFox, the Aussies (Tripper and Wizard from Oz), Itinerary, Pluto, and Eureka if you see them. They all enjoyed our 'trail magic' Saturday, 7/31 at the Guilder Pond picnic area. Sorry that we missed you, but it looked like you made out alright.

All nice folks. Can't wait to read more as you go on.
