Woodstock, VT (USA)

[my cousin, Shelagh, was visiting North Pomfret with several of her friends and she suggested that we meet up today - I was not able to get over to the Woodstock area until (at least) lunchtime but she had a hike scheduled that wouldn't get done until later - on the way over to meet her, I stopped for gas at Irving in West Lebanon (1425) - at 1500, we met at the Worthy Kitchen and enjoyed some beers (and some parmesan fries) for about 90 minutes - this was the first time we'd actually met but it was like we'd known each other for many years - afterwards, we shuttled her car over to the Billings Farm (because she wanted to leave it there for the night) and then parked near the downtown area of Woodstock - we walked to a little wine bar called Au Comptoir and met the rest of her friends there (1645) - I had a glass of Merlot but the rest of them tried some of the fruity cocktails - we visited until around 1750 and then I said goodbye - I walked to nearby Our Lady of the Snows and went to Mass (1800) - afterwards (1840), I walked back to my car and drove home (arrived by 1715)]
