Vermont 2002, part 2

I'm back in Vermont for the second time this year. Last time, here at my mother's house, I had a series of away-from-civilization experiences. This time, those bugs have all been long worked out (except for only 1 tv channel) and it's more comfortable. Unfortunately, my mother's blood pressure has been very high for the last month, and the doctors finally have it under control in the last week, but the six-pills-per-day medication that she's currently on are taking quite a toll on her alertness. It's good to spend some time with her, but sad to see her not fully herself. I help close up the house tomorrow, and drive her back to Rhode Island.
