Dear Brad,
OUR SECOND ISSUE
Thanks so much for taking the time to read our first
issue. The percentage who opened the letter was
more than double the newsletter average and the
number who "clicked through" to see more was even
better. Hopefully you enjoyed what you read. Also,
thanks to those who wrote us expressing their
approval. We'll try to keep up the good work. Next
month we'll be announcing our first
newsletter "special". In the meantime it's back to
school for many of us with crisp cold air on the way.
Mark's JV football team has won it's first two games
and Kate is enjoying her first job at Hannaford's Super
market. Finally, this issue contains the first of
some of the more "unusual" questions we've been
asked by guests.

Hi folks. Many of you took the opportunity to swim
with me this summer, sometimes too many. A few of
you even tried to teach me how to make a left turn -
you all failed. But thanks for trying. I had lots of
guests this summer and made loads of friends. Here's a
few. I may have some BIG news for next month. Stay
tuned. Oh ! Please stop telling Dad that he's not
giving Chelsea any newsletter space !

BEST WISHES
Congratulations to Phil and Deb Locastro who
celebrated their honeymoon by riding their motorcycles
from New Jersey to Buck Hollow Farm and sent us a
photo from the ceremony. Hope you'll be back in a
couple years with a few kids in tow.
A GUEST REALLY
ASKED....
How old does a deer need to be before it turns into a
moose ?
Fantastic setting, people, food and animals. What
else could we ask for?
Susan, Ana F.

| WE'RE PAVED! |
 |
No longer will first time guests think they're "running
out of road" when they hit the dirt section of Buck
Hollow Road. No longer will speeding trucks be followed
by a huge dust cloud. No longer will we decide it
doesn't pay to wash the car. BUCK HOLLOW ROAD IS
PAVED. Bikers and cyclists can now arrive and leave
without worry about the first few minutes.
PIZZA
We have found that after a long day exploring
Vermont, many guests would prefer to just "hang out"
in the sunroom rather than get back into their car to
get a bite to eat. As a result Jacquie, using her secret
recipe, has prepared a supply of frozen pizzas for
guests. Available within 20 minutes, these pizzas
come in individual, medium and large sizes. Better
than Mamma Mia's, they'll taste even better in front of
the fire.

Vermont
First's
IN 1895 US Postmaster General Wilson is
informed that
author Rudyard Kipling, living in Dummerston, receives
more mail than the largest business in nearby
Brattleboro, and authorizes a special post office: Waite,
Vermont existed solely in the home of and was named
for the Kiplings' neighbor, Anna F. Waite, who was
appointed Postmistress. The Kiplings left Vermont in
1896, never to return; Waite, Vermont ceased to exist
the following year. Today, philatelists prize the Waite
postmark, being the only post office ever created for
an individual. Kipling wrote The Jungle Book and
Captains Courageous while living in Vermont.
