Wednesday - June 27

Rainy start to the day and then a lull of several hours of no rain.....we had sausage/cheese omelets and toast for breakfast, caught up on e-mails, Mark walked to the post office to mail some cards and exercised and then we hunkered down waiting for all the rain predicted.
 
We met this gal who set up her easel and paints here at the gazebo this afternoon.  Priscilla lives 1 hour south and had thought she would do the biking trip (Buffalo to Albany - 340 miles).   We talked about all the bikers who do this averaging 50 miles a day and taking a week!    YIKES!!!!   Since this was not feasible for her to do, she is back at painting.    We are the first boat she's painting.  She was so nice to visit with and told more history of the original Erie Canal.

This is Priscilla and her son's home when they are camping!
 
This afternoon a charter canal boat tied up in front of us, so we have neighbors tonight.
 
Had a good phone chat with Drew this afternoon and heard all about his orientation the past few days at the University of Iowa.   He's excited and August 14th will be here soon!
He will be a true blue Hawkeye and will be living in the same dorm as his Dad many years ago!
 
 Tomorrow we are off to Albion and celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary!
