Oh, by the way, this was a simple BBQ, grilled McKenzie's hot dogs, sweet and hot Italian sausages, a wonderful tossed salad, and my new creation--udon noodles with white beans, skinned cherry tomatoes, garlic and EVOO--extra virgin olive oil. This was a hit with everyone.
And more vino, en veritas.

Fans of the chicks arrive to see them for their first views of the outside world. But they are still in their "new" box. Soon they will get a taste of some reals dirt!

Look who got to see them shine!

Eagles at Sugarbush celebrated its 25th anniversary. This wonderful resort is four star **** rated. We've been coming here for almost 23+ years! It's convenient to all the skiing, Warren, Ben & Jerry's, Stowe, Cabot Cheese on Rt. 100, Burlington, Montpelier, etc, etc. A great four season place to be!

Here we are with Dee Dee, one of the resort managers, and Michelle, who also works at Eagles. Michelle is an elementary school art teacher. Bless her.

Eagles is a great place to be, ANYTIME.

Stopped by to picnic at the North Poultney Cemetery on Route 30. On a hill overlooking some nice farmland, just by the Delaware and Hudson Rail Trail. This is a very nice trail for walking, biking and snowmobiling or whatever you would like to do any season.
