With Your Coffee {Monday Edition}

Hackett’s Orchard in South Hero, VT

And, it’s back! With Your Coffee took a break {a coffee break…ha, ha, ha}, but now that fall is in full swing, it’s time to focus on work and writing again and sharing the news. What better way to start than on a Monday?

On that note, hello! How are you? How have you been? Been reading lots lately? The weather has been gorgeous in Vermont and we’re in a stretch of good weekends. Apple picking, foliage, hot coffee, hot chocolate, chili, good stuff. Here are few stories from around the internet, some recent and some I’ve been saving to share.

• Read an excerpt from Prof. Robert McCullough’s latest book, Good Roads and Good Sidepaths. If you’re in the Burlington, VT area, come here Bob’s lecture about the book on Wednesday October 21 at 5:30pm in the Bailey-Howe Library at UVM. He is the best lecturer!

• Have you seen Bernice Radle’s HGTV show, American Rehab Buffalo? Or read this article? Congrats, Bernice! You’re an inspiration to us all! 

• Is the tiny house the American Dream? (I’d bet on certain areas, but certainly not everywhere.)

• From Preservation Action: Tell Congress to support the reauthorization of the Historic Preservation Fund. 

• While you’re on a good preservationist kick, nominate a place to the SCA’s Falling by the Wayside: North America’s Most Endangered Roadside Places. 

• Remember those colorful clamshell Macbooks? (Rory Gilmore had one that I coveted). Well, this will make some of us feel old: one is now in the Cooper Hewitt Museum. 

Coffee cheers!
