Hi,
With
foliage just over the horizon, a reminder about the foliage
photography contest mentioned last month. The winner and
runner up each will receive a weekend gift certificate to the
inn, with the winner also receiving Jacquie's pizza and home
made Vermont maple ice cream. More details next month, but
basically we ask you to submit a photo taken in Vermont this
foliage season. We will post them to the web and have voting
done by you during a certain period of time with the winner
being announced at the end of November.
Due to space issues we
are unable to list all the wonderful events in and around
Vermont and Montreal every month but note that we have provided
a link in case you would like more detailed information.
Have a great rest of the
summer !

GIZMO'S
GOSSIP

 Hi
Everyone !
Gizmo here !
Last month I ended my letter by saying "This too
shall pass" (referring of course to
Utah, the new puppy). Well, PASS ALREADY
!
Maybe the "Terror of Buck
Hollow" would have been a better name, or
better yet "JAWS". Nothing escapes
those sharp baby teeth - beginning with me.
You can guess the usual victims, but how about bark
from a tree, cut grass, ice cubes, Mom's
nose, Dad's ear.
This place is turning into a first aid clinic. I'm
told over and
over again how patient I am. Maybe so, but
pretty soon "Patient"
may be a label for him - not me (if you catch my drift).
At least I've had some very nice four legged visitors at
the inn
during the last several weeks and I thank you for that.
Oh, what a
relief it is.
Love Gizmo

RETREAT

How many mothers out
there wish you had more “bonding” time with your
teenage daughters?
The
pace that our children grow up astonishes us! As
mothers, our schedules remain packed with activities and
responsibilities. It is more and more difficult to
find quality time to spend with your children.
Buck
Hollow Farm
would like to provide you and your daughter with a special
weekend of bonding.
Our own daughter,
Gail, an interdisciplinary artist, wants to offer a
mother-daughter retreat at Buck Hollow Farm.
The playful weekend would include theater games,
writing, storytelling and lots of chances to get to know
one another outside your normal roles.
Our intention is for the two of you to share new
experiences in a natural and creative way.
At
this retreat you’ll find:
Freedom
from phones, TVs, radios, and routines
An
opportunity to spend quality time together
A
relaxed environment
Fantastic
food and refreshments
A
natural setting
A
chance to make memories
We want you to walk away with wonderful memories, a renewed sense of
mutual respect and perhaps, a new perspective on your
relationship.
If you are
interested, please email
us and we will book a weekend based on the
participants’ availability.
