George's Birthday

Yup, I had a birthday, too, on the 26th. No need to say how old, but I caught up to Nancy. Dessert was strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries, warm biscuits and real whipped cream. It was delicious!

Presents included a GPS for the car, framed photos of Vermont for my office, a cup for brewing tea, clothing, The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil (coming out as a movie in 2009), and Those Calloways.

Those Calloways was a 1965 Disney movie filmed in Vermont, much of it in Smugglers Notch. Many scenes in the movie show familiar locations. The dreaded "Jack Pine" in the movie is the Brewster River Gorge, about a mile from our home.

The Vermont photos were cool. Laura collected various photos that she and I had taken, used Snapfish to put them into a poster, and then had it framed.

Three of the photos in the poster are on this blog (here, here and here).

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful day!
