I was having a conversation with an elderly lady in the waiting room and she told me a story about her great grandson. She thought perhaps he may be a bit too old to still be breastfeeding. She was traveling to Vermont with him and his family when he started to throw a tantrum. He stood in his seat, pounding his fists on the headrest while chanting at the top of lungs,
I WANT BOOBIE! I WANT BOOBIE!”
–Daniel, age 5

Alec (Yellow Turtle baby model!) in le•top, circa 1993, with his tricycle and...is he holding a bug?
J. at Yellow Turtle found a “vintage” photo of her son in le•top and sent it over for fun. I loved the old tricycle and the whole composition of this photo; the un-mowed grass, the dandelions, the lone tennis shoe and little Alec looking like the quintessential, all-American portrait of little boy having a great summer! Of course, I wanted to share with everyone on the blog, so I asked J. for a more recent photo of her son, Alec (now 18), and she sent over a few. I noted to her that there seemed to be a cycling theme, and she said her niece, Alec’s cousin, has MS, so Alec has been doing the Bike MS ride since he was 12! Alec and his dad do this ride every year. Last year Alec raised over $2000 – they both rode 75 miles each day, in the hills of Vermont! J. and her daughter are the cooler girls – they wait at the rest-stops with drinks and food. Great family support! We’re looking forward to photos from this year’s Bike MS in Vermont which will be held August 8-9, 2009…Go, Alec!
Alec, now, but still being a little boy at heart! Photo at left is from his Bike MS 2008 event

…as reported by: a Yellow Turtle, I mean, Lisa Hunt, of Stowe, Vermont’s Yellow Turtle
Liana Hunt as Liana Hunt, and as Sophie in Mamma Mia!
Mamma Mia! just finished their (almost) two-week stint in Los Angeles last night. Our whole family went to LA to see Liana and her castmates their first weekend there. Now, it’s off to Tucson. Then, she goes on break for 2 weeks, and, then…she is coming home to Mamma!! Can’t wait.

…as reported by: proud mama, Lisa (of Liana Hunt and owner of Vermont’s Yellow Turtle)
I’m late in sending reports – but better late than never! Opening night (Feb.27th) was so FABULOUS!! Liana opens the show by herself, and that was just an incredible moment in time…I cried (and cried!) and couldn’t see anything for about the first 15 minutes of the performance!! The people of Kentucky were so wonderful — the friendliest town imaginable. Liana is now en route to Davenport, IA. She has already been to Lexington, KY, Paducah, KY, Bloomington, IN, & Duluth, MN. What a schedule for just 2 weeks! Now they will spend more time in each location as soon as they get to Palm Desert on Monday. Liana has been through the absolute worst weather, so hopefully that will also change on Monday. She reported that the audiences in Duluth had fantastic spirit! Life on the road takes some getting used to for sure. She misses home cooking! A group of wonderful people in Lexington hosted them to a Southern home-cooked meal in a local Baptist Church, though, and I had the pleasure of attending and can say that: I ate the best Bourbon Bread Pudding in the universe!!! Thanks to them!!!

Yellow Turtle in (brrrrr!) snowy Stowe, VT

Proof for Mr. Tech Wiz
Sweetie decided we must see SNOW this holiday season, so we’re in SNOWY Vermont! Before I left, I was able to easily send myself a text message of Yellow Turtle‘s contact information right from le•top’s store locator so that I had it on my mobile phone…Coolio! (Mr. Tech Wiz will be so proud of me! See? We actually can easily embrace new technologies here at le•top!). I wanted Yellow Turtle’s info, because they’re in Stowe (where we are going next), visiting the SNOW. I can’t wait to leave this wonderfully warm sofa seat, in front of this wonderfully warm fireplace, to go visit the SNOW, and see the sights of Stowe! (If anyone from Vermont is reading this, I could sure use some help figuring out the best store to buy a pair of warm snow boots for myself. I have a feeling these sneakers aren’t going to cut it out there).
