July 2026
Places visited
I visited Brian, Bea, and Noah and we had a fun time playing board games and card games, as well as eating delicious food and looking at family pictures. We went to Millcreek Park in Willingboro, New Jersey and took a little drive around the area. I had a great time visiting them and seeing what they had been doing!
Taran spent a few days with me and we had a great time playing Ants in the Pants, Quicksand, building a Kisi kit, cooking, eating, and talking. We also went to the Park-McCollough Historic Governor's Mansion in North Bennington Vermont, where we had a private tour, Benson's Dairy Bar in Eagle Bridge, New York for dinner and to play on their playground, Lions Field in Norshart Lions Club Memorial Park in Shaftsbury, Vermont, and Paran Park in Shaftsbury Vermont. We visited the library in North Bennington and spent a quite afternoon reading books. It was a wonderful summer vacation for us both.
Rachel came to stay with me a couple of days to help me after a medical issue. It was wonderful of her to do that and she brought some food, including vegetables from her garden.
