here at the lake...


Tupper Lake, New York: a Save-A-Lot store, a McDonalds (iced coffee for me, chicken nuggets for them, and iced coffee too!)
We also stopped at the Raquette River Brewery, just to get a four pack of local beer to taste: strawberry cilantro, orange coriander, and two of the India Pale Ales. :)

Emily and Mariel arrived last evening, so ten of the kids are up here, with two spouses and three grandkids. We had grilled burgers and hot dogs, and olive oil oven roasted russet potato fries.

We did go to the beach for a bit last evening, played some volleyball, and helped the grandkids build a river.

Today has been gloriously beautiful. Chilly when the clouds hide the sun, but warm and lovely in the sun. We sunned and swam and sat on the dock solving the world's problems. Ashley grilled sausages, hot dogs, and coneys and brought it all down to the dock. Paul has been busy out fishing, on the boat we rented. He took me out yesterday morning, it's such a nice lake.

Ah well, time goes by too fast...I want this week to last much much longer!

Sounds like so much fun. What a beautiful lake. We vacationed for over 30 years when we lived in Northern CA before retiring at Lake Tahoe. It's a beautiful lake, and our friends owned a cabin on the waterfront. How I miss that place.
