The family is celebrating Christmas this year at an old farmhouse in Vermont. Jeanine reserved the AirBnB rental property while we were still living in the River House and had insufficient space to entertain the entire crew (because I had already gutted 2/3 of the structure). At the moment, Nico has yet to join us. A teacher at his school tested positive for Covid last week and he is self-quarantining at home until the incubation period expires and will drive up on Sunday if he continues to test negative. We are sharing the farmhouse with Jeanine’s sister, Susan. Wood-burning stoves are the primary source of heat and very welcome after long strolls in the frigid air. Pictured below in the foreground on the left is the farmhouse.
