Tuesday, August 16, 2016 after my mother’s belated ceremonial of her passing away 3 years age. I drove to Vermont and started cycling at the Connecticut River near Charleston, New Hampshire on the Vermont side of the river. I cycled until I was a little passed Springfield, Vermont (turn off to Woodstock, Vermont) and then I cycled back to my rental car. Then I drove towards Kennybunk, Maine. Per my GPS I was due to arrive around 8:00 PM in Kennybunk and got hold of my brother Dave a little before I arrived. They were arriving about the same time and they planned on stopping for dinner first. I ended up meeting up with Dave and his family for dinner and then we went to Gloria’s place. We arrived at Gloria's house around 10:00 PM and went to sleep around midnight. (Gloria is my father's last long term relationship. She remains a great friend of our family.)
