If I had decided for some reason before Irene not to leave Killington for three weeks, it wouldn’t have been an issue, but when you realize you CAN’T leave, it becomes a whole different story. In a mere 18 days an unprecedented collaboration of local contractors (our unsung heroes), state agencies, FEMA workers and National Guardsmen rebuilt the east-west corridor through Vermont, Route 4. What an accomplishment! Going to the grocery store has taken on a whole new significance. Now the new buzzword for me is NORMAL, and step by step we are getting there. Normal means celebrating and enhancing our brand new website, supervising the design and production of our soon to appear new brochures, creating fall and winter packages, buying mums for fall decoration, and (hopefully) welcoming lots of fall foliage guests, because YOU CAN GET HERE FROM THERE! It even means welcoming the surprise visit from the AAA inspector and gratefully hearing that not only have we passed with flying colors and maintained our 3 diamond rating, but we have once again earned an “A” grade for housekeeping, which he told me is a relatively infrequent accomplishment. Even building a giant elephant out of hay feels oddly normal, and that feels really good.
