Mazin' -n- Dazin' While Vibin'

I love Vermont Vibin'! And it's starting to pick up steam. Instead of people now asking me what I'm doing for the weekend, they say, "You vibin' this weekend?" How cool is that! You can see I have a new blog pic up - that would be me and the Vibe. This is a picture from my latest Vermont Vibes expedition (since I don't have a digital of the one they took when I leased from Shearer in South Burlington.)

The latest adventure consisted of the rock-n-roll team of myself - Public Relations Mama, Mitch - The Luvah Drumah, and Caitlin - Higher Ground Mamacita. And off we went...


We jetted down I-89 and charged through the glorious foliage weather like musicians on their way to a gig (managing to get some shots through the Vibe windows)! Route 2 beckoned us through the outskirts of the Groton State Forest to which I will surely be visiting once skiing is over. On our way to apple pie galore in Cabot, we got happily sidetracked by a sign that read something like, "Don't Be Silly, Stop." Silly wasn't the actual word, but it made us laugh and we pulled a U-ey and vibed on in. The place was called Riverside Treasures and it was a terrific antique place with actual deals and a fun and chatty owner we liked right off the bat. We each bought some stuff and headed on our way, absolutely starving for pie by this point (except The Drumah Luvah who somehow doesn't like apple pie).

Then off for pie at the Cabot Apple Pie Festival. Caitlin and I are both from smaller Massachusetts towns in the Western parts of the state, so small town events are part of our history - rows of tables showcasing fun local crafts in the town elementary school gym/cafeteria/auditorium and the concession stand featuring mom and pop ham and cheese sandwiches, soupy corn chowder, and the specialty of this wonderful small town event - apple pie - hmmmm. There were so many pies competing in the day's signature event - the pie contest - I mean anyone who's anyone in the Cabot, Marshfield, and East Calais vicinity must have made a pie! And only one actually looked like the kind I make (yes, from scratch and no recipe sharing with this family secret). Caitlin and I ebbed through the crafts to the pie while Mitch did some mystery shopping (as a Bostonian, I think his lack of small town America at an early age tainted the taste of yummy small town apple pie, for which I plan to cure him at Thanksgiving - insert evil laugh here).

So, filled with apple pie and Mitch with pretzels from the homemade dip tables I think, we cruised over to Danville for, you got it - The Great Vermont Corn Maze. We took so many pictures, I think I will simply post them and you can fill in the words to the friend-filled end to another Vermont Vibes adventure...
