The husband and I had a wonderful day today as we revisited my family's past and he got to meet some of my more distant cousins. First we went in to Lowville - about 17 miles away from the lake house - where my maternal grandparents lived after moving from Central America. The husband got to see my grandparent's former home pictured below (which my grandfather had bought for his parents around 1920), the family cemetery plot with my grand parents and great grand parents graves, and a farmer's market at the county fair grounds where we bought luscious looking preserves from a delightful Mennonite woman.
Once we got back to the camp, we took out the "Class of 41" - my brother's 1941 Chris Craft (pictured above) which is the main photo on this blog - and we circled the lake a number of times stopping to wave and talk to friends from long ago. We finished the afternoon with wine and munchies sitting in Adirondack chairs looking across the ever changing scenery of the lake. Tonight I am taking him to dinner to a restaurant that has been here for at least 50 years.

My brother joins us tomorrow and the fun and making of new memories will continue. More posts tonight if we don't treat ourselves to too many cocktails. :)
