Day 14   Had a trailer tire blowout on the way from Burlington, VT to New Paltz, NY.   God was watching out for us.  We were alerted to it by a nice couple almost immediately who drove up on our right and let us know.  Then a gas station was only about 100 feet away where we had a perfect spot to tackle it and even put air in the spare.

Vernon struggled for quite a while with taking off the wheel's lug nuts because they had been put on by an impact wrench.  It was a good thing that the mechanic who had originally put the tires on was not close by! 

But he finally got them off and I was able to cancel the AAA call before they started out.

Then we were able to find a discount tire business just a few minutes away and in 15 minutes had a new tire on and the spare tucked away again.

It was a nice drive -- especially the time we spent heading south in Vermont, and arrived in New Paltz where my sister Katy fed us a wonderful supper! 

 

The pictures below are some more of the pictures from the Shelburne Museum which we visited a couple of days ago.  Some paintings I don't want to forget:

                                                                            

Ogden Pleissner was a sportsman/hunter as well as a landscape artist.  

                                                        

More Pleissner paintings  (It's not the same looking at a photo of a painting.)

 The following paintings are some of my favorites from Louisine and Henry Havermeyer collection:                                                                                  

                                                                                    

                                             

                                                                                    

I loved this Winslow Homer painting.

                                                                            

They had one Winslow Homer and one Andrew Wyeth (above)                                                                                                                                                                              

Some information about Andrew Wyeth's "Soaring"

                                                                                    

                                                                                        

This visit the weather will be a wash out!  Rain predicted for the next 2 days!  But we will have a nice visit indoors.  Vernon will help Katy with a couple of little indoor repairs.
