Hi everybody, Dave and I are back from our vacation trip to NH. Boy was it hot! 100 degrees and the same for humidity, but the lake was clean and heavenly! so I really didn't mind. Tough going in and out of our pop-up though. Til the sun went down we couldn't do much about the temperature in there.

Had an interesting time at Dave's reunion the Sat. after ours. I had the opportunity to see how it felt to be on the "spouse side" of a gathering. Only knew one other person there. He was drunk and obnoxious pretty early on so that wasn't too pleasant. Oh well.

I don't see any of our newly invited members here in the blog site but I can see from the team list that some folks have at least peeked in. Speak up out there !

John I'd like a copy of the CD if you can let me know about the cost I'll drop it in the mail. I'd like to see the pictures on the film in Kelly's camera. She asked me to use her camera during the parade and take LOTS of pictures. Hope she sends copies to someone who sends them to Brian so they can be posted here. She doesn't have e-mail.

Karen, since you'll be in Bar Harbor anyway, why not drive another 6 hours north and visit me here in Presque Isle? The pototoes are in bloom and the annual Potato Blossom Festival starts next week. You haven't lived until you see mashed potato wrestling!

Nancy I will stop by and drop one off for you.

Hi John....I would like copy of the cd. How do I get one? Bob is going to send Brian the pics he took at the parade and dance so that they can be posted. Hi everyone!!!!

Hi Everyone! Well, now it is my turn to go to VT. I am leaving tomorrow to fly into Burlington and then go to my sister Marleen's in Middlebury. My sister Diann, from Needham, MA will be there too and we will all get into some trouble together for the next 4 days. My brother Bryan lives in Northampton, MA and we'll see him also. Rich and the kids will drive to Perkinsville from Grand Rapids on the weekend and we will have family reunions with both families............can't wait! Planning to see Butch and Janice Stearns too. The following week we will head to Bar Harbor, ME to Rich's family's camp, We love everything about heading to New England, except the bugs! My mom said that they could see the smoke from the Canadian fires last weekend, hope it is gone by the time we get there. Supposedly Michigan had it too, but I didn't notice. Hope everyone is having a great summer. Cheers! (Champagne and Chambord of course!) Karen Millay

Yeah, John, I would like a cd of the pics - or at least to see them on the net. Do you need some money - for postage/cd? If so, let me know. You can call me at 802-886-1001 after 5:00 or email me at jlachapelle@vtlegalaid.org - or my address is 115 Route 106, N. Springfield, VT 05150. You did a great job and we really all enjoyed your rendition of It's a Wonderful World. So, you had a vacation, huh? Hope it was swell. Bye for now.
