Room 3 - Shaker Room
Birch Ridge Inn

Just a gorgeous, lazy summer day at Killington today. Temperatures got into the low 50's at the inn last night. Today, temps are in the high 70's this morning with a bright blue sky and low humidity. Just a beautiful day.

Yesterday, I had a chance to go out and play my normal Tuesday golf game. I did not do well, as my left ankle (the one I sprained early last winter) has been acting up. I have been going to physical therapy for about 6 weeks to strengthen the ankle. It now appears that as the muscles have been getting stronger, they are now causing some bone shifting in the ankle, giving me some (minor) mobility problems. The therapist taped up the ankle yesterday afternoon to try to adjust the bone and retrain it to it's correct position. This is one time that life is actually simpler in the winter. A ski boot immobilizes the ankle... where as a golf shoe is almost like walking barefoot by comparison.

Our summer projects around the inn are continuing. Mary has just finished redecorating room 3 at the inn, also know as the "Shaker" room. We added a small air conditioner to the room earlier in the summer. For this make over, the room has been totally repainted and a new ceiling border has been installed. It really came out nice.

One follow up from a story that ran earlier on the blog. Last Friday I reported that Peter Lynch had graduated at Green Mountain National and played the blue tees. In other news from the golf world, one from one of our past bartenders, Billy Mac, reported that our friend, Katharine Sweeney shot a legitimate 99 last Friday from the red tees at Rye Golf Club. This is her first sub 100 score at a legitimate golf course. Congratulations Katherine!
