Mid-Week in the Berkshires, Aug 26

 August 26

We had a quiet day today. Nan was babysitting with her "grands." The weather was a little chilly- 72 but a beautiful day with periods of full sun and then lovely clouds.

 We drove to Dalton to see the library where Janet Forest is head librarian. We should have texted her to see if she would be in. But, we didn't...and she wasn't. However, we had a nice tour of it anyhow. A beautiful old stone building with lots of wood and some enormous windows. You could see Janet's influence on all the activities she has added to their repertoire.

  We drove to the Berkshire Bakery and Mark got a free loaf of pumpernickel bread. It wasn't open, but the baker gave it to him.

    Then we went to Lee to Let's Do Lunch restaurant where we went last year. It is run by a retired couple who decided to open a restaurant to keep them active. It is open M-F for 4 hours; they moved here to be with their grandchildren, so keep the weekends open. Anyhow, we had delicious lobster rolls - full of lobster and no mayonnaise unless the customer adds it. We had onion soup as well. Yum.

   After our meal, we went for a walk along the Housatonic River in Stockbridge.

    We spent the afternoon at the resort - doing a load of laundry and playing miniature golf which Mark won handily. And, we ate "in."
