My watch tells me I climbed 8 flights today, but fails to tell about how wonderful a day it was. (And it was!) Early on we ran across a rock covered with Rock Tripe – it’s not rare, but always tempts us to have a bite as it’s nutritious, but not at all delicious.The way up on good trails was a lot of fun with lots to wonder at. Phil Merritt, a friend of Tony, has kept up these trails for many years. As well he’s had a lot of fun rearranging and stacking rocks (no cement used to hold them together). Once at the top there are long views across the valley all the way to Mt. Monandnock. A short drive took us to Panda Chinese Restaurant in celebration of Nancy’s birthday. Tom and Donna’s 5 year old grand daughter August was with them after playing the role of Santa!! in her Kindergarten performance in Northampton. She is such a wonderful little girl!! Hoping the holiday season finds you happy and in good health, with so many good memories, Penny
