Lebanon, NH (USA)

This morning, I started my telework day very early and was well into some good projects when I realized I'd made an appointment at the Lebanon Post Office for some Visa photos.  Fortunately, I made it there before 0900 and, since it wasn't busy, I was in and out with my pictures earlier than planned.  Returning home, I had more work (including several longer meetings) through the lunch hour.  At 1245, I drove to the Richmond Middle School so I could help clean up after Prouty Day.  I spent two hours (1300 to 1500) picking up trash, loading equipment in trucks and assisting with general tasks.  Before departing, the staff wished me a fond farewell (in anticipation of my move) and donated some hiker snacks for our upcoming Trail Magic Day.  It was sad to be leaving the wonderful group I've come to really know and appreciate but I hope to continue my Prouty support from afar.  Returning home, I spent the next few hours (1515 to 1745), finishing my work day.  Next, I headed back to Lebanon so I could attend my last meeting with the Sacred Heart Lebanon Knights of Columbus Council (1800).  It was sad to say goodbye to all of them after several very good years in Upper Valley but I'm glad I was there.  When the meeting finally ended (1915), I stayed for another 45 minutes before departing for home.  It was a bittersweet day but I'm very glad I had the time for all of these "last times".
