Recently, I have been attending the Town Gown Committee of Poultney and Green Mountain College which shares news of relevance to bot sides of the local community.

Due to my (former) interests, I have suggested a Math League Competition for Slate Valley Schools to be held at GMC sometime in the future. Looks like October 2006 may be a good time for the event. Folks on the committee are excited about the possibilites.

Do you recognize anyone seen at a recent meeting?

Flying in from California, our dear friend and neighbor: Marianne Hurley! It's great to see her!! Tonight was "Meet the Neighbors Night" with Chuck and Gail, us and the Isherwoods whom Marianne has never met, even though they live across the street from the Hurleys!

Marianne supplied us with many gifts from the Santa Rosa farmers market, great sour dough bread, hummus, spinach lavosh, and springtime California asparagas.

With these wonderful ingredients we served Grandma's special turkey juk with brown rice, whole wheat penne with asparagas and garlic, and a tabouleh salad with fresh vegetables. Delicious! We had lots of good wine and lots of good cheer.

Karen's hermits (not from Herman) bars were a yummy finish to a fun evening!
