A GOOD DAY.
Day 43 – When we got up at 6:30 this morning, the first thing we did was open the door to see if it was still humid. It was not. 66 degrees, overcast and breezy, we opened all the windows; SO nice to have the fresh air coming in again. Today is our 41st Anniversary, and we plan to take it easy. (Um, how is that different from any other day. Hee hee.)

Day 42 – Still very humid outside when we woke up, 76 degrees and cloudy. It’s like the sky is weighed down with rain, waiting to burst open at any time. We hope it does. Today was laundry day. We drove to the mainland to Milton, the closest laundromat. Three hours later we had completed our major chore when the sky opened up and hallelujah, it poured down rain for at least an hour, then rained lightly on and off for the rest of the afternoon.

Day 41 – It was 72 degrees this morning, no wind & VERY humid. It is supposed to rain today and that should break this humidity. We took a walk around the campground soon after we got up, hoping to beat the heat as it’s supposed to get to near 90 degrees again. Everything looks lovely, well maintained, and quiet. There are lots of Airstream trailers here, cream of the crop. From the bench overlooking the Lake, we saw the ferries traveling between VT and NY.

Day 40 – 70 degrees, cloudy, and humid at 6:30 a.m., we were up and slowly moving towards leaving. We departed after dumping tanks with a good-bye picture of the lake & boat launch; it was 76 degrees, and the girls were complaining from their travel area in the bedroom.
Day 96 – Sunny, breezy & 43 degrees at 7 a.m. this morning. Rob made espresso; a beautiful day. He is online, researching recliners for the RV. We think recliners would be much more comfortable for the longer trips we plan to take. The current couch is fine but its main purpose is to provide a fold-out bed & we don’t need that; we want the comfort of recliners, & the cat’s agree. I’m making lists, what I do best, LOL. We’re leaving tomorrow, going home, & there’s so much we need to do in a short period of time. Time to organize myself or everything won’t get done. Back to reality, eh?
Day 95 – Last night we had lightning, thunder & a small amount of rain. The sky is dark this morning & the temperature has dropped 10 degrees in 3 hours. Guess a front is coming thru. Breezy, dark & cloudy, 55 degrees at 11:20 a.m.
Day 94 – Another hot & windy day is forecast for today, but this morning was lovely. All the windows were opened & a wonderful breeze was blowing in from the Lake. Around 11 a.m. we left to get a few supplies at a local store recommended by our friend, Cathie. She was right about Keeler Bay Variety Store, (it was hard to find at first; it’s located at the Citgo Gas Station at Keeler Bay, and it was an amazingly well-stocked little store with fresh vegetables & fruit, local meats, freshly made sandwiches and local foods, plus liquor, beer, wine, and importantly all the basic groceries one might need). We’d tried twice to find the store, not knowing it was at the Citgo, but it’ll definitely save us trips to Burlington in the future. Thanks, Cathie.
Day 93 – Last night Rob & I were admiring the trees in the campground, many different kinds, some are flowering, and all are perfectly shaped and trimmed. We were thinking that they must hire someone to keep up the lawns and trees. It’s all so perfect. And what do we see this morning? JC is up on a tall ladder trimming a big evergreen nearby, chopping off some tops and some huge branches. JC & Emma do all this, too?
Day 92 – Good Day Sunshine.
What a gorgeous day! We woke up to clear blue skies & bright sunshine, not a cloud in the sky, 50 degrees – the Lake was like glass & we could clearly see the mountains in the Adirondacks. It’s the beginning of Week Fourteen, our final week on this trip – nice start.
Day 91 – HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANN D!! MAY ALL YOUR BIRTHDAY WISHES COME TRUE!!
54 degrees this morning and raining with 20 MPH winds. There were some things we needed from town, like COFFEE, so we drove Southeast & over the Lake & South again to Burlington. We were reminded once again how much we like this City and Vermont, in general. The biking trails for one thing, and the courtesy they pay to bikers for another thing, and everything is so clean – like where is the litter – it’s been pretty bad in some places we’ve gone thru.
