September 23: The Learning Box -- 1st Project

Kevin finished his first project and entered it into the student competition at the wood show in Woodstock, VT.  The box with legs finally has a name: The Learning Box. He said he called it that because he learned so much making it.

We drove to Woodstock today so Kevin and others from the wood school could set up their booth for the show.  The drive was beautiful.  The leaves are changing, so next weekend we will need to do some more sightseeing. 

Despite the changing colors, we saw some sights tonight that were hard to accept as real.  When we drove to dinner tonight we saw some of the awful devastation left by Hurricane Irene.  We did not have this kind of damage in our area of Vermont.  We did not have any idea it was this bad.  We will get some photos and add them to the blog on Monday.
