Custom Cutting Board

 

The Cherry and Birch cutting board we had custom made for Loch Nest has arrived from Vermont Bowl Company! A very nice improvement, and looks so nice with the cabin floor. It has four large plastic "feet" underneath set just right to keep it inset and secure. We had no idear if the striping would be random or what. Turns out they elected to follow the cabin floor pattern!

Today listener and Wil are Hitting Gold! ✨💛💛✨

The Sound of Music at the Von Trapp Lodge, Stowe VT

This year marks the 75th Anniversary of the The Sound of Music (as a stage play then a movie), the 90th Anniversary of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, the 50th Anniversary of VT's Lyric Theatre, so Wil and listener felt it fitting to go to their beyond-stellar performance at the Von Trapp Lodge Meadow in celebration of their own 50th Anniversary. In the audience for the standing ovation were the Austrian Ambassador, as well as Samuel Von Trapp (grandson of Maria), and representation from Rodgers and Hammerstein. A truly wonderful and historical event and experience, on Friday evening. On Saturday we learned that, due to rain, the other three performances all had to be held in Burlington at the Flynn Theatre. So this was the only time that The Sound of Music has been honoured on the Von Trapp estate. We are still in awe.
