Saturday, August 25: Back to Philly

Well after I have fake night sleep I got up around 9:30 AM and 

 ot myself some breakfast and gathered up my belongings in my backpack. Well of course, I have more stuff to bring home then when I came down with. 

 hat’s primarily because I left clothes in the laundromat but that’s old news. Bill Sisson drove us to the airport

 which is very nice of him. Paid us $25 in cab fees. The cab with $10 cheaper 
 han Huber would’ve been if we had taken the high rent version of Uber. Super ex L or whatever that is. It’s a beautiful day in Burlington Vermont. It’s 12 noon now are boarding is at 12:18 PM to leave at 12:38 PM. We should be landing about 2:30 PM. Well we’re sitting in that Tayland of the airplane. We’re going to get it that they already full Larry and The down well we’re sitting in that tail of the airplane. We’re sitting at the tail end of the airplane.We had a heavy 10 second turbulence @ 1:20 pm. After that things are pretty smooth. We did get a complimentary drink and snack despite them not rolling out the cart. I fed make it by Patrina and Mandy and my next goal sis catch the train at 2:40 and bring my photo and get to the sketch club between now and tomorrow morning to submit my work. I got back at 3:30 Pand found it empty frame that I had it. I submitted that into the sketch club. Then I was told that the Plastic Club was accepting  work  today. The woman at the  sketch club was  very nice and took my information and it will be up for display tomorrow at 2 PM. I then went to the plastic club and they said they would take my work phone as I was back within 20 minutes. I just tried to use the ones I didn’t submit to the plastic club several weeks ago.   I then decided to use one of the ones with the block. I felt gratified and appreciative that they let my work and even though I was running late. That really made my day. I then came home and mellow out for a while. I think got a call from John help him do some moving this evening and go up to Bridgeton. I gladly except it. Well the big news this evening was that John McCain died today of cancer. You’ll be hearing a lot about him in the next 4 to 5 days. Where is her usual we ate and enjoyed our food but is 931 and we haven’t even left for break it in yet. But we are leaving soon.

Friday, August 24: Last Full Day in Vermont

Today is the last full day of my vacation here in Burlington. I woke up at 
 9:30 AM had two bowls of raisin bran and Mallard out for a bit. Around 11:30 AM we made haste to where Steven Kevin ‘s boat is located. On the way there the 
water was very choppy but it was very nice boat ride. Steve piloted the boat very well. It was very fun. We docked and then we went to a place called the naked turtle. 

It was 8 dollars to get a temporary slip at the marina.  My lunch was very large. I had chicken tenders fries and a salad. It was gigantic I couldn’t 
 inish it off. I got to go back which I needed because I didn’t wanna just wait for food. Anyhow is in the side when I switch this posting from draft to published, it eliminated 

about a third what I had written and removed all the pictures that I had placed . Every so often this happens and it really frustrating because I generally don’t

 have an online copy when this happened of course. We got back and we 

 ll just relax because the sun and the rock 
 ertain kind a got a lot of us tired. I get  really great boat ride. Everyone enjoyed the experience when we got home, Patrina is prepared a homemade Stromboli. 

 t reminded me of working in the wheelbarrow back in 1986 to 1990 when I used to order Stromboli and place called Corropolese. Patrina knew about the plate. She liked it a lot. Well we ate out in the back porch And enjoyed another beautiful Burlington today. Patrina also made some delicious macaroni and cheese parsley from the leftovers and she added Collie flower and a little more salt to it. It was really tasty. I take it homemade cooking but nothing like it. Nothing like it at all. After dinner most books about ready to pack for tomorrow but Stewart night that it would be at the Quinn out at the Doubletree near the

Thursday, August 23: A Trip to Leunig’s , Uncommon Grounds Coffee, and Dinner w/ Card Game

Well this morning I woke up feeling pretty refreshed and I had 

 reakfast of cereal and skip the pancake. We then mellowed out and I took a nice 

 hower and change my brand new socks etc. We then met up with folks at this fancy French restaurant called Leunig’s. The prices 

 ere a little out of sight for me. I’m glad we’re splitting the menu. The

 lower end entrées are about 12 to 13 but the average is about $17. It’s a beautiful day 

 ut perfect fall weather. It’s kind of weather you can wear anything & becomfortable. Really love humidity and the suns out. I think when they go back home I think I’m gonna stay downtown and chill as the kids would say. I just had to get just the soup. It was nbsp;ome kind of beans soup with cheese on the top and some vegetables. But the heese is really irritating because it stuck to my spoon. It was good however. Well afte eating at the overpriced French restaurant, we all walk towards Ben & Jerry’s. The line is really long and it up for ice cream at this moment. I went to the uncommon
 grounds coffee shop. The cashier was very friendly but the one in front

 of me was not. Rest of them hung out and Ben & Jerry’s and I’m trying to catch up on my 

 logging when I did do a Facebook post. I did 
 get corrected many time during dinner. We then came home mellowed t out. We then had wonderful dinner of pasta in a delicious sauce. I  ate like a crazy man it was so 

 elicious. Next we played a card game that Mandy had bought on Amazon this week. I think the name is called Apples to Apples. It was pretty fun. We will put all that 

 complex which was  nice. It’s good for a large group of people too. After we play 

 own we pretty much off retreat in your bedroom to chill and then

 go to sleep. I tied with two other people for first place. It was a relaxing day on a very relaxing vacation here in Sunny Burlington Vermont. It’s a good time 

 o go to Burlington at the end of August to work well

Tuesday, August 21: Relaxing, Shopping and Going to Downtown Burlington

Well I got up early today 9 o’clock. I don’t have my breakfast and it was quite tasty. 

 hat was two bowls of Ramen brand and some coffee as well. everyone pretty much just chilled out today the cloud started creeping in a little bit today. 
A lot cooler outside than inside the house. The dogs are being cutest usual and then Steve and Kevin had the great idea of ordering out lunch at a sandwich place. The 

 andwiches were delicious and everyone enjoyed them. I had a turkey sandwich on a keiser roll. Afterwords charge stop by for a little it and then I decided 

 o catch up to Stuart Helen and PatrinaAnd go to a shoe store outside 

 f Starr Farm. It was a good idea because I was able to go to Rite Aid soon to be

 Walgreens and get travel size toothpaste, mouthwash and undies and a t-shirt. So

 my mission was accomplished. I know if I could just get 

 omewhere like that I would be covered. Anyway, we were going to go to 

 inoosk any dinner and then do a special musicals addition of quizzo. Reservations

 are made over the phone but it turned out that they’re already plans for dinner. A

 friend is bringing over macaroni and cheese and Steve, Kevin and Jasina 

 re getting food. Well I decided I would try taking the bus to downtown. I went of course to the coffee shop called Uncommon 
Grounds and distant new story flashed up on the screen. Former Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort guilty of tax fraud.  This is interesting day in the news!! First off Michael Cohen copped a plea in his case the 

 BI had against him.  Well as of 5:02 PM I just read on the Washington post

 that Cohen is  going to plead guilty on 8 counts!!. I’m thinking the shit 

 ill hit the fan before the midterms but again he might wait till after the 

 idterms he doesn’t look Partisan. 5:17 PM I think it might be time 

 o leave the premises pretty soon. Either to catch the bus back and wonder
around or go to a meeting that will end at 6:30 which will be  
 pretty tight making the bus. So matter if I wanna blow money on Uber and we’re 

 alking blowing a lot of money. Well 5:24 PM and it be too much of a 

 un around. Maybe have to get my ass up early at the meeting before 

 nything happens that would be the best bet. Well I decided to go to the meeting anyhow

 since it was so darn close. It was only a three minute walk from the 

 offee shop. It was pretty mellow and I managed to get two coffee mugs.One of them I’m giving to Steve and Kevin. I probably should’ve bought 30 well hoops. Anyhow it’s a 

trifecta in the news today!! GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter, wife indicted for allegedly misusing campaign funds yes indeed not been a good day to be a Trump supporter or or 

 epublican. Then again Trump supporters will keep  supporting them so no news really matters to them. Dinner was delicious. We had  

salmon and mac & cheese. It was quite the pastry. We sat on the 

 ide porch we had a neighbor named Caroline her husband come by and she had brought the mac & cheese.
