HAPPY 49th ANNIVERSARY to us...
June 28, 1969

A mostly cloudy day till late till around 2ish when the sun came out and temp reached 80 degrees. We saw more boats today on the canal than all the days put together since we've been cruising.
NY, OH, FL, and Canada.

A quick trip from Holley (10 miles) crossing under 3 more lift bridges and we were in Albion. We settled Catrina along the wall (another freebie) and set off for downtown which is right here! We went a short distance when 3 different people (the ONLY ones we saw on the streets) stopped and asked if they could help us, if we needed a ride, etc......how welcoming is that???
The 2nd good Samaritan told us a good place for lunch - "39 Problems" - interesting name but neat place in old building with the brick walls and great food.
Delicious Monte Cristo sandwich (a favorite of Anne's)
Some neat architecture in downtown Albion dating from 1825
Devastated and heartbroken to hear about today's tragedy in Annapolis - such a beautiful and favorite city of ours. Why oh why....
and nicely painted park benches - this one of the Albion cemetery
So much ugliness and hatred going on in our country....if we didn't watch TV (occasionally) or read the news on the internet, we would have no idea what's going on in the world. We are up here so far away from it all.....but where is anyone safe these days?
Mark's brother Jim and Lydia have been vacationing in Maine with their RV this past month. They are now headed home to St. Louis and staying overnight at Kamp Komfort. Anne, Patrick, Liam and Connor joined them for dinner at Busy Corner!

Who needs a fancy schmancy dinner on their anniversary when you can have a "concert in the park" (a Thursday night summer tradition in Albion)? Tonight's group is "The Lonely Ones" (folk music). Catrina is docked right in front of the park and adjacent is the Albion Fire Department grilling hamburgers and hot dogs! What a deal!
We sat on Catrina's bridge and enjoyed our cheeseburgers, chips and drinks on this beautiful evening.
It's been a great day and we thank you for all the good wishes!
