Spent last week in NH, which was nice, but the circumstances sucked. Mom had fallen a few times lately and wound up needing surgery, which was a week ago last Wednesday. Bill went up for support, but had to leave on Saturday, which was the same day they put mom in a nursing home. I arrived Monday. Mom was so weak she couldn't walk, couldn't stand, couldn't get around in a wheel chair, couldn't do anything. Over the rest of the week there was no improvement. I'm worried, but I got to spend some real quality time with her.
But, making the best of things, I stayed at Tim's place on Goose Pond and worked when I wasn't with mom. It was rough. And then the biggest blizzard since 78 blew in, closing Massachusetts and Connecticut just as I was heading home. Wound up spending an unplanned night in Keene before cutting across Vermont on Rte 9 to NY and points south. Got home Sunday.
The home away from home office
The view
It was pretty rough.
Also got a chance to visit Mug, and found a whirligig store: Steve's pet store in Leb sold me a cat on a bike. Awesome.
And a lake check. Nice ice fishermen.
And ye olde house check. Damn.
Started snowing my last day there
The next morning in Keene-- 18" -- then across VT. Breezy, but the roads were fine

And smooth sailing from there. Sunset in PA

And the car post-road trip.
