Where's Liz? Lake Champlain, Labor Day

I looked up an old college friend who lives on Grand Isle in VT. She inherited and still lives in the old family farmhouse on the shores of Lake Champlain. We hadn’t seen each other in 26 years.

She has gotten “old.!” Don’t know who that other old lady is on the right.

Image

View of Lake Champlain from her front yard.

Image

We spent Labor Day catching up and watching the sailboats go by.

Image

We went out to lunch at this little country store in North Hero.

Image

View from the restaurant.

Image

What’s for lunch…

Image

We visited this park

Image

Statue of Samuel D. Champlain

Image

Her son mowed me a private campsite on the shore.

Image

Where Roe and I watched the sun go down.

Image

The mountain s of NY can be seen as the setting sun glows pink on the sails.

Image

Sunset on the water.

Image

Sailing for port…the end of summer vacation.

Image

Fortunately, for me, summer vacation doesn’t have to end. Tuesday I stopped here on my way to meet another “old” college friend for lunch in Montpelier.

Image

Image

Taken through the window, as it was closed.

Had a great time in Montpelier catching up on 38 years since graduation. My friend Grace knows the whereabouts of other dorm friends from our UVM days, so maybe next year we'll plan a mini-gtg.

Being a farm girl from the Midwest, it's hard to imagine a farm along a 'lake'. Rivers or streams, yes. What an absolutely beautiful area! Love the Hero's Welcome name. How ingenious! You take the best pictures, Liz. Thank you for sharing God's handiwork!

Great pics Liz! As usual you take great shots.

I have been in Hero's Welcome many times. It's a great place for a sandwich, coffee or gift shopping.

I really love the shot of Roe looking at the sunset,... the Vermonters get the best view!... (the Adirondacks, of course! :D )

As always you have posted some beautiful pictures. The ones with the pink sails in the sunset are beautiful enough to frame.

Glad you had a chance to meet up with your college friend and visit.

Keep those pictures coming.
