Beautiful day in Brewerton......worked on the packing till 10 and then left in the courtesy car for a Wal-Mart run and pick up our rental car in Cicero. The Driver's Village is a HUGE complex of every kind of car imaginable to buy and then all the rental agencies + used cars. Never saw anything like it - and most of it is under one roof.
So till Sunday we are driving a Dodge Ram bright red crew cab pick-up with lots of bells and whistles! Had a nice visit with Avis agent who said cars are desperately needed south and so the cheaper price - we will be turning in this truck on Sunday and getting an SUV to drive to NC with all our stuff at $22 a day. The guy told us about someone who needed to get to TN and got a car for $12 a day. We talked about "Horrific Harvey in Houston" and just this morning, Avis across the country is not charging anyone who is from that area and stranded somewhere to keep their rental longer till they can get home (fly, drive, etc.) What a wonderful thing. Just so much we don't think about - people traveling for pleasure, business, etc., and now can't go home.
He also talked about Air B and B is letting people stay for free until they can get home. a domino effect of just how many circumstances we sure hadn't thought of. And so hard to imagine all that water when we are having such lovely weather here.
So I drove the big red truck and Mark was in courtesy car - stopped for a little pick-me-upper at Dunkin Donuts (energy food) and on back to the marina. Lots of cleaning out bins and storage areas for Mark - Catrina will be all spic 'n span.
We are tired tonight, but it's a good tired!
Maeve getting sweet 'n clean
Al and Lois from PA came in today and docked next to us on their "Salty Spray" sailboat en route to Toronto to deliver the boat to their granddaughter. Tonight we went to dinner at Barado's on the Water - what a fun evening sitting outdoors, visiting and enjoying delicious crab cake, lobster rolls and fish (mahi mahi) tacos. We had dessert, too.......blueberry, raspberry and blackberry pie with whipped cream! YUMMY!!!

Tomorrow, a change coming in our weather - rain and low 60's. We plan to visit the Great New York State Fair near Syracuse (only 20 minutes away)....LeAnn Rimes is appearing tomorrow night!
