It’s that time of year again. The folks over at the Brattleboro Country Club recently invited us over to check out the course and clubhouse. We have played over there before (Amy and I are both casual golfers) and really enjoyed the course. There are some spectacular views and the greens are challenging and well [...]

There is something about the feeling of being outside in the Vermont winter. The crisp clean country air and the peaceful silence that comes with a soft snowfall. One great way to get outside and experience this serenity is snow shoeing. Lucky for us, there are plenty of great cross-country ski trails around Brattleboro that [...]

My first ice skating experience was on a pond – well really it was more of a big puddle, with an eight foot circumference out behind my childhood home in Connecticut. My first skates were double-bladed things that strapped onto my winter boots and my Dad brought out a kitchen stool for me to use for support. Since then most of my skating has been with newer black, single-bladed hockey skates. However there is something about winter in Brattleboro Vermont that calls out for some good old-fashioned ice skating.

In 2007, when we left our corporate jobs to start Forty Putney Road Bed and Breakfast in Brattleboro, VT, we struggled to find a health care coverage option that would be affordable and not exclude existing conditions. Now that we are settled in [...]
