June 2008
Liese drove the Porsche back
to the valley from Burlington
Anneliese and Aunt Bert in
front of the library at St. Michael's College
in Winooski where Bert is
a professor of special education.
The quad at St. Mike's, which
is a Jesuit college with about 2,000 students. Campus very quiet on this
mid-June day.
Tim, Deb and Anneliese at
Leunig's
Bistro & Café on Church Street in Burlington.
just me and Timbo, who enjoyed
a lovely steak frites at Leunig's
Liese and Tim in momentarily
sunny Burlington with their new socks!
See you down in Jersey in
August, Tim.
After dropping Tim off at
home, Bert, Liese and I got up to camp in North Hero
just in time to see the sunset
over Lake Champlain on the second-longest day of the year.
serene lake at dusk
looking north toward Canada...the
Quebec border is about 10 miles away
porch all lit up with candles
beach lantern Stephen unearthed
in Surf City and brought up to North Hero
modern sculpture of natural
materials?
or random rocks piled on top
of each other? you decide!
Bert's shade garden on the
lake
the next day Bert drove us
back to Burlington to catch this puddle jumper back to Philly
and next thing you know we
were returned to 85 degrees and lots and lots of people...
and Philly not being big enough
for Liese, she went back to NYC today!
