Met with the Glassners to review the draft Easement Deeds drawn up by Joan Donahue, Esq.. Asked the Glassners to change the wording in their easement document to allow us more liberal use of their driveway. They agreed and will have the changes made per the alternate wording I provided. Spent an hour cleaning up and repairing the Glassner’s driveway where the utility trench had settled. This will be an ongoing chore for at least a few months. The good thing about Vermont is that you don’t need a calendar to tell when Memorial Day has arrived. Even better, the smell of Deep Woods Off seems to attract the black flies… not to mention the world-famous Leicester mosquitoes. A great day for working inside… in spite of the gorgeous weather outside. Alverta came down again and we continued cleaning The Beast's interior. Also repaired the bathroom door handle and reinstalled the (repaired in Virginia) master bedroom door. As Alverta was leaving, she pointed out that The Beast had a wet spot under the front end. That was tech-speak for a radiator leak… judging by the fact that the radiator reservoir seems to be almost empty. Oh joy!!!! On that note, called Chree to wish her a happy 37th anniversary. Trivia question: on how many anniversaries have we actually been in the same place? Answer: not many, which is probably the secret to our marital longevity.
