Tom and I spent Saturday doing all "our" (read: MY) favorite things - lunch at Simon Pearce and a stop at Scotland by the Yard in Quechee, Chapman's for some holiday gifts and to say good-bye to Mrs. Chapman & Alita, pick up some cheddar at Bev's farm stand to mail to Maeve at college, wander around Farmway in Bradford, and dinner in Lyme.
My brother Al joined us on Sunday around 10 am, giving Tom and I a chance to have breakfast at the diner first

There was a period of stress in taking in the dock - as regardless of best efforts, the boat wouldn't start. AAARRGH! Boats suck. OUR boat sucks. We were supposed to meet Celia from the Fairlee Marine at the boat landing at 11, clearly that wasn't going to happen. No one was answering the phone at the marine and they had no answering machine, so I drove over there - closed on Sunday. I knew our contact there was named Celia - found her on linked-in, she lived in bradford, but isn't listed. SO, I drove to the landing to meet her to let her know that the boat was not moving off our dock. We were all done with close-up sans taking in the dock, which we couldn't do until we got the boat out....so, Tom and Al decided to ROW the boat over to the landing. Fast forward, It's now 11:30, I am still at the landing...still no Celia and the boys continue their strenuous row....what if they FINALLY get there and Celia doesn't show - they have to row back - we can't take in the dock....what the F are we going to do? "Good News" - Celia had a flat on her truck, was delayed, but DID meet us at the landing eventually.
LUCKY Tom and Al got to take in the dock after all:

| Thanks for helping Ann! |
AND, then, we say our final good bye's!

| Good-Bye summer of 2012! |
SIDE NOTE: Jack and Nancy got this TOTALY cool sign for Camp:
Yes, well, Jack and Nancy are totally cool, aren't they, despite the fact that they never help close up camp.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how fantastic my wife looks so early in the morning. And in the afternoon. And in the evening
ReplyDeleteLove the sign. Thank GOD you were there to help with dock. I remember how instrumental we were in the process some years ago. I'm glad that you're still as helpful. What on earth would they do without you Ann? Without you, there would be a rusty dock with algae or that weird weed that grows in Lake Morey.
