Just an update to those who are interested in David’s progress. Today was THE day.

I took David home at around 6 PM. Jed and Dave were there already working on the railings of the deck. Barbara was also there and helped David get settled. Dave, Jed and Geoff are still with David right now, probably inaugurating the deck with music.

I’ll be back to see him tomorrow at noon to bring him lunch. We need coverage for the evening visit tomorrow, ‘though I’ll bring him food enough for a couple of meals.

Thanks to everyone who has supported David and, by extension, Dave and me over the past month. It has been so heartwarming to realize we live in such a loving community.

Our good friend, David, broke his leg last month on his deck.

In revenge, a group of his friends banded together and destroyed the old deck, replacing it with a new one this past Saturday.

I was talking with a friend today and I mentioned that I was too busy.

“Too busy?” she queried. “Too busy updating your blog everyday?”

Well, no.

I have been a very bad blogger. But I also hadn’t realized anyone was actually reading the darn thing. So, here I am. I was working hard, then I was away on vacation and then I came home.

I haven’t been working all that hard since coming back. I even took a week off from the volunteer gig writing up local news for the Vermont Standard. I still have that vacation afterglow that makes feeding the dog seem like a challenge.

So here is a brief pictorial of the last month …
