Out of the Time Warp!

Wow, when I titled my last post Time Warp, I didn't know that I would actually be stuck in one! It's been a cool, wet summer, but we have done our best to make the most of it, mainly doing things that we have in previous years. Moxie was out on our few really hot days and Dave became quite good at catching and releasing turtles...

We had a nice get-together with Hope Town friends on Putnam Pond. Jim and Sharon were in their tandem kayak, we had our two kayaks (Romine and Pink Floyd), and Bobbie and Ed rented a canoe.

Bobbie sent this photo of us at the beach.

We had a fun packed day in Lake George Village with friends Ken, Terri, and Noah. We had gone to see the annual boat show there.

As an added attraction, there was a Fort William reenactment between the British and French soldiers that was interesting to watch, and hearing the cannons firing was well... a blast!

Noah was going to be scalped...

We also headed up Prospect Mountain where the views of the lake are fantastic.

Before Labor Day we finally had several days of predicted nice weather to head to the 1000 Islands to try out our camper van Gulliver.

It was awesome staying in the NYS campgrounds right on the St. Lawrence. Ships and loons...you can't ask for more!

Plus boating, hiking, kayaking, and a really intense sunset made for a perfect birthday celebration for me....

We were hoping that we would also be able to take Gulliver to Cape Cod this fall, but our weather has just turned too chilly for that, so we'll most likely save that adventure for next year. However, it took a few days to get used to the smallness, but we are ready to live in the camper for a couple of weeks in Florida before heading to the Bahamas. For now though, all eyes and thoughts are on Hurricane Irma and Florida (right now if the prediction is correct, the Abacos should be okay with 'only' tropical storm force winds). My mother's assisted living facility is quite secure and they have a large generator, so they will not evacuate residents at this time. My brother and his family will board up and remain in their house. Other friends have mandatory evacuations and are heading northward in the traffic. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in this storm's path. I will keep you posted when I can.
