But getting here has been wonderful! On the 27th and 28th of September we were the guests of my cousin Jim and his wife Betsy on what is one of the the most picturesque pieces of property in this country. Here's the entrance to his place in Sandgate, Vermont. They have 450 acres here and everything you can see here is part of their property.
Here is Jim, who is the son of my father's brother, Lauren, and his wife, Betsy, with the gorgeous scenery behind them.
Standing at the top of their property, especially in the fall season, totally and wholly takes your breath away. Their house is the only structure you can see from here.
Very near their place in Sandgate, is the former home of Robert Todd Lincoln, Abraham's son, who was a railroad magnate in Chicago and then retired here. The home and grounds are a treasure. Jim and Betsy were married in Lincoln's house here some 25 or so years ago.
