Vermont Inn
December 2021
The plan was to have an early celebration of our 50th anniversary at a Vermont B&B. We’ve enjoyed several such outings, and Fall would be a lovely time. A search in booking.com finds Marble Mansion Inn in Fair Haven VT, looks like a lovely and interesting place. I book for October; a month early anniversary-wise but it seems a good bet we’ll last that long. However, life intrudes in the form of back surgery scheduled a few days later. Given the ongoing COVID pandemic we’re discouraged from traveling to Vermont, which is having a spike in cases. Moving forward in time, rehab from the surgery goes well. Matt et al. are headed south shortly after Christmas to stay at Marjorie’s cousin Jim & wife Susan’s condo in Naples FL (we’re looking at doing the same in February). Why should they have all the fun? How about rebooking for some holiday decompression in VT between Christmas & New Year’s. We’re not out of the woods on COVID. Thanksgiving brought news of a new “Omicron” variant that is more contagious, combining with the earlier Delta variant to create a surge of cases & hospitalizations. But no restrictions on interstate travel have been instituted, and cases seem mild if vaccinated & boostered as we are. So we’re good to go after a quiet Christmas, just the 2 of us.
