Home of Brattleboro Memorial Hospital -
which has felt a bit like a third home to us this week...
And while I love just about any excuse for extending our weekends in Vermont -
a daughter with a ruptured appendix - and emergency surgery
doesn't actually top my list.
Yeah - definitely not looking to repeat this one...

We're so thankful to have Laura on the mend, now.
I also felt very lucky to find a little time to roam around downtown Brattleboro
- known simply as "Brat" -
Bordering New Hampshire and also very close to Massachusetts,
this town is all Vermont - with a bit of a hippie vibe.
- lots of galleries, bookstores, cafes -
and for coffee lovers - Mocha Joe's - a must stop
- old fashioned lamp posts and fences
- and how about a shot with triple fences!!
- and about a gazillion wires...
yeah - lots of wires - everywhere...
So, we're hoping to bring Laura home this weekend -
which would make for a very happy Easter in our home.
Otherwise - hmmmm - maybe ham at the hospital?

I am so glad that your daughter is on the mend! I'm sure this Easter must have been very special.....I do hope it was celebrated at home, although 'Brat' is a lovely place to stay!
ReplyDeleteThe title of your post caught my attention on another's blog...I grew up in Bratt until the summer between 7th/8th grade, then moved up the road to Chester! Many of my relatives still live in the area. I love visiting there when I am in the area. I just noticed your post before this one is about Landgrove...I spent my winter weekends working in a ski lodge there and skiing at Bromley! I will be following your blog...another way to stay in touch with my home state.
ReplyDeleteHope your daughter is doing well.
Oh my! How frightening to have the medical emergency with your daughter, especially while away from home! Glad she's on the mend. Lovely pictures of an interesting town!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! i am sorry about your daughter, hoping she is doing great now! scary!
ReplyDeleteHello Karen....nice to have found your blog through "Good Fences"....great triple fence photo.
ReplyDeleteHope your daughter is now back " in the pink". Scary stuff!
