Hi, April, welcome back.
Roy and I spent some time in Keene and Brattleboro last fall and I
loved the area then, and I'd never even heard of the nekkid doings at
the Farmer's Market. I guess after a winter up there once I'd feel the
need to get sky clad and run around nekkid amongst the veggies too.
(Although I'd do it in my own garden, I think.) There was one house on
35 acres literally right outside Keene I was very interested in. The
wiser Yankee (that would be Roy) he kept muttering things about north
facing slopes and doom.
I was pitting those little sour cherries and I just used a knife. I
knew there was probably some gadget but I don't normally do these
little sour dudes, I just got carried away because they looked so
good. The paper clip idea is a good one. Not that I have any paper
clips but I can put Roy on it and I'm sure he'll invent the perfect
thing. It is so cool to be married to a mad genius.
Brattleboro was in the news a while back as one of those cities who
have voted to impeach Bush and Cheney. I keep hoping someone will
forget and take them touring and some Brattleboro local will slip up
and put cuffs on them. : ) Hey, a girl can dream.
Good luck with the massage business.
