Labour Day Weekend



We have had a lovely busy weekend! On Sunday we went for a BBQ at Meredith's sister Betsy and her husband John's house. It is out in the wilds of the countryside in the Adirondack. We enjoyed burgers and a keg of beer! John is a cop and every emergency service vehicle that went past (a lot as there had been a nasty crash) tooted at us! On Labor Day itself, after visiting a mall with Meredith's mum Suzanne, we were invited to another BBQ by my mentor Dan and his family. The burgers here are so lovely I could eat BBQ here every day! Sian went sailing on the lake with Dan and I even went for a swim - sort of!! It has been a fantastic end to the summer holidays and so completely different than our life in the UK. The only negatives at the moment are the awful midge/ mosquito bites Sian, Ron and I have and the fact that we STILL have no car, even though we bought one last week!
