I had a hunch you’d recognize this spot.

Right after college I moved to Manchester to work as a ski bum for my aunt and uncle in their ski lodge up Rte 30 east of town. After the season I got a couple of low-paying jobs in town and moved to a room in the house across the street from Palmer House Hotel, which is down the road from your motel, and which backs up to the tavern. The Palmer House folks used to also own the tavern. I lived there for 2 years, then moved north for a couple of years, then out to California in 1980. Didn’t think I’d last more than a year before moving back to Vermont. Well ….

Food is still up to snuff apparently. Good.

I closed that place a few times.

And there must be many rooms. You could have special exhibits, like at a museum. A Hall of Used Toothbrushes, for example.

She doesn’t need a journal to get back at me. She has other means at her disposal.

Sometimes I think Rachael should start her own journal so she can get back at you, Scott. But, actually it seems the readership can see right through you.

Yes, maintained or not. The attic must be enormous too where I could just stuff stuff for future perusal. I have dreams of big houses like this.

Just think of how many eclectic collections could be maintained in a place like this!

Oh, I’ll bet it is copper. I hadn’t thought of that. It# easier to see on the previous photograph.

OK, I'd rather live in this house than the previous structures, haunted or not.

I love these structures. I want to live in one of them.

Could it be the cuppola is copper? I know that copper goes green pretty quickly and at around 100 years it goes black. The one that is blackish certainly looks like copper to me. Pretty fancy buildings if they are decked out with that much copper.

Oh! Yes, definitely. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen one, though I remember dad talking about them when I was a child back in W. Va. Thanks!
