Oct 11-Dinner with Phil

Well, Phil's town may win the contest for most beautiful places to live. Rangely, Maine is small, has lakes all around it, and is full of friendly people. Phil is great. I haven't seen him in years and really enjoyed being with him. We went out to dinner and closed the place down, but in Rangely that means 8:30! Evidently there are moose all around the place, but we never saw any. The leaves are mostly gone here and snow is forecast, but we had a sunny shirt-sleeve weather day. We drove to Bangor on the 12th and the leaves along the way were all yellow and rust colored. I fly out to Seattle early on the 14th so Gene is going to have to learn how to blog while I'm gone. The pictures are of Phil's house and Rangely Lake which is about 1 block away. Not bad!!!!
