Mighty fine it was, for they served some of it on our pancakes for breakfast. "A non-Vermonter," Terry explained, "who finds a dead squirrel in the sap bucket, will throw out both animal and sap. A real Vermonter will ring out the squirrel before throwing him out." Another friend, Sherlie Roya would say: 'Those old backwoods Vermonters are called 'wood-chucks', outsiders 'flatlanders'. And the flatlanders are buying up property around here, for they are the ones with money." We had misjudged Yankees, for here we found them warm and as outgoing as the legendary Southerner is noted for being.
We weren't prepared for the cold, however. It seemed we traveled backward in time, from spring to winter; even the Vermonters apologized for the late cold weather, saying it was unusu-. alSnpw still clung to the higher rrhountains, and Terry's roaring fire in the den at each end of day was most welcome. But the 'hut happiness' we found here more than made up for the weather. 'Hut happiness', as its called, has at its center, the fireplace, or in this case, Franklin stove.
The fire is still the heartbeat of the home; fellowship is found and enjoyed around the stove. There's contentment in the comfort of the big cozy chairs; rain on the roof, good company, even the dog. Rocky, made us welcome. Here we swapped backgrounds and histories; got to know one another, and established the bonds of brotherhood within the span of a few days. Penny, who bakes her own bread, taught us how to make a simple cheese Vermont is dairy country.
She took us to a big dairy belonging to her sister and her husband; then to Cabot, the cheese town, where we toured the factory, and were schooled in many points of cheese making. One bit of knowledge I remembered: "Never," said the tour guide, "re-wrap your cheese in the same package. Always wrap it in new plastic wrap each time its opened, else it promotes mold bacteria." We glimpsed life and people we'd only read about heretofore, and will never look at New England quite the same again. Wendy says she'll move there when she grows up. Well, so might when I grow up.
Up here where zip codes begin with a zero, and the terrain is crowned with rolling green mountains; where herds of Holsteins graze in lush green pastures, and stately birches show off white trunks; where roads wind through hills and valleys and follow rushing streams, we knew we'd found a good place to stop and linger a while. Our hosts, Terry and Penny Hidy, took us in. On our arrival at the Montpelier Kingdom Hall that Thursday night, we four had walked in strangers, and after the meeting, although they'd never laid eyes on us, announced by way of introduction that we would be staying with them, and they 'Just made us So we followed their tail lights up hills and down valleys, on paved, then rocky roads for twelve miles, finally into their driveway to their charming, wooded acres atop a mountain. We awoke next morning and looked out on a hillside, saw the house stood in a clearing, framed by dark evergreens, elms and birches, and the view was that of a picture postcard. The air, so fresh and clean, I felt a kinship to the long-ago settler who wrote: "The forest smelt so pure and sweet that we drank in health at every breath, and the Senior Olympic medalist Senior Olympic gold medalist Octaira Applewhite Childress of Pickens, SC, a native of Winona, brought home the gold medal in her age group with a 7.2 minutemile pace in the 10-K Road Race last weekend in Tucson, Ariz.
She also received a silver medal with a 6.5 minutemile pace in the 5-K Road Race. A rookie to the Senior Olympics, this 50-year-old made an impression with her first venture in Senior Olympics. doctors found mighty poor picking." There is such a rich, natural existence here, as though they live within the confines of a National Park. Its voice is the voice of woodlands; the song of thrush and warbler, and birds I cannot begin to name. By night the barred owls cry is haunting, as though darkness itself had spoken.
Deer and moose roam these mountains, and both Terry and Penny are hunters. "He was so surprised," she saicV'that after we met, he learned I huntedi And I could skin and dress a deer as fast as anyone." Here are folks who practice many of the old crafts, and no matter how the pendulum of prosperity swings, could basically make do on their own.
