His & Hers

We have made it back to the north country! We ended up driving the SSR while our friend Ken, drove the van back home. Ken and his father Don, had helped our mutual friend Di (who is now 93 and still skipper of her catamaran) bring her boat across the gulfstream to Stuart. He volunteered to drive the van back home, which saved him flights and also saved Dave another trip to Florida to bring the SSR north. Both vehicles ran flawlessly. A heads up for anyone driving I 95 though...the roads in South Carolina are really rough! Anyway, Dave did a great job of winterizing the house when he came back last fall to get the Mustang, and everything is up and running just fine. He had also finished cleaning up all the leaves, which is making our spring work really easy. We have never had so few leaves and branches to get rid of. Today we got both tractors going and mowed and mulched what leaves were left. Then we raked and vacuumed in the tight spaces. Every year we say that we are going to take our time, but then we start working and want to get everything done at once.

Tomorrow we head up to Ticonderoga to see how everything made it through the winter up there. Hopefully all the snow that fell off the roof in the last snowstorm has melted. It makes us really glad that we were in Florida!
