Wow, It's been a long time since I last posted...

Here it is almost the end of my summer already. We've finished a lot of what we needed to do in the kitchen at Innisfree. The dry-wall is finished and painted and the floor is almost completely finished. Only one or two more coats of polyurethane to go. Here's our progress.


We found a pretty great mountain-man builder/plumber/finisher/manager/hunter/farmer/you get it, he does everything. Looks like a number of projects we can't finish will be done this fall. Yippee!!!
I finished 3 pairs of socks, two on the needles (two more started before June 21 so they don't count for Summer of Socks '08.) Then my friend Leigh Ann came up and got me started on string bags... Two down, one started.
I spent my birthday visiting my aunts in Malone and Plattsburgh with my family and cousins. It was a pretty nice day.

Best Cousins Ever


We have had a great time so far at camp. We've had the great fortune to visit with our favorite cousins. Here we all are in front of the "Caboose." Didn't do that much. It was just great to catch up and spend time together. Now back to the kitchen.
The boys made up some ice cream with the old hit and miss engine.

Happy 4th of July

We're here in the Adirondacks. Had a pretty uneventful 4th of July. Just stayed at camp and visited with our cousins and friend for dinner. Here's one of the fireworks we saw from our dock. It was een nicer just being on the lake while we watched instead of fighting the crowds in town.Here's the coolest moth that was resting on our screen door.
I did get to the knitting club meet-up at Old Forge Hardware today and finished my Traveling Loon socks!!! Had fun with all the local ladies. They are a funny bunch of women.
