Local Loves: Vermont Country Deli

Having unexpectedly taken last Friday off from both work and blogging to be in-person at the courthouse for closing arguments and the beginnings of jury deliberations in my partner’s (still) ongoing civil trial, this past weekend was all about trying to decompress and re-energize now that the case is officially and literally “out of our […]

Local Loves: Twice Upon a Time
