Maple Sugaring
The
sap did finally flow the day before we left Vermont and my brothers were able
to help Grandpa boil a little bit! This sugaring season will be short, but some
is better than none (especially given the current price of what Vermonters call
“liquid gold”!).
Homeward Bound
After
leaving Vermont on the morning of Wednesday, April 2nd, we headed to
PA where we visited with some friends and stayed the night. On Thursday we did
some shopping in the area and then drove to Harrisonburg, VA where some of us
stayed for the conference. The rest continued home.
Writers’ and Artists’ Conference
This
conference was very instructive and I learned a lot of things that I am looking
forward to putting into practice when I next get time to write. My favorite
part of this leg of the trip was the time we got to spend with another lady
from our church and her daughter. We stayed in the same house and rode to and
from the conference together. Then on Saturday, April 5th, we all
drove home together.
And
that brings me to the end of our trip!

Ah, sounds like you had a fun time :) I think that is SO cool that your brothers were able to make sugar!!! We only make syrup, but I think it would be fascinating to make sugar!!!
We did have a fun time, Theresa! Could you explain the difference between sugar and syrup or what you mean by those terms (since different people use the terms differently depending on context and other factors :)?
