| As there was nothing going on until
Friday afternoon with my family, I drove back to
Burlington, and headed a few miles south down Hwy 7 to
the AMHA offices in Shelburne. Wow, another
emotional time for me! I'm sure the AMHA staff
thought they had a nutcase on their hands as I expressed
my excitement at being there (with quite a southern
accent, I'm sure). The Morgan museum is also
in the same building so I definitely went there also.
They were open 1-4 pm Fridays so my timing was perfect.
I must say this.....The staff at AMHA were so incredibly
nice. They answered my endless questions and Tyler
and his staff patiently tolerated my giddiness at being
there. I felt that I was at my Mecca! Later, in a
few days, I did find another part of my Mecca, but that
is coming.....
The AMHA offices were not what I expected. I
was expecting a more formal, bustling atmosphere but
found it to be rustic, quiet, and quaint, like Vermont itself.
I will share the pictures to give you an idea
of the interior of AMHA and the wonderful
artifacts, paintings, and statues that were on display in the
building.

It amazes me and I know the wind
will someday surely blow it all away
It amazes me and I'm so very grateful
that you made the world this way
