There are many advantages living in a smaller community. For instance, after dinner at home and watching a DVD, we drove the five minuted into town to watch the firework display, the traditional end of the Privateers Weekend. On the way , I called Walt and Mary, who live an easy walk to town, to see if they wanted to come and see the show with us. Of course they said yes, even tho Mary just got out of the shower. So we parked behind their house in their parking lot, and walked to town, and sat on stairs in front of the hardware store. Just a few minuted later, our friends Mary and Gill, and Susie and Jeff came by with their folding chairs, getting ready to watch the fireworks too. Now that would never happen in a big town. Many people had come to see the show too, and it was worth the trip to town. Lots of fun in an easy unhurried environment.
All day today, Ken and I and Vinal and Betty worked hard at the lake. Ken and Vinal put in the dock, while Betty and I took the furniture out of the the garage. It is a big job, but the furniture is all in place and only the raft is needing to be pulled out to the proper spot in the lake. Last winter, the ice twisted part of the deck, so now after repairs and then installing a rock crib, our next winter will not be so hard on the deck. The day was beautiful, but for some reason I did not go swimming, probably because Betty does not swim. After they left, Ken and I sat on the dock enjoying the scenery and the peace and quiet. Ponhook Lake is a lovely lake. Actually, it is a wide spot of the Medway River, so the water is clean as a whistle, but not flowing so fast, so the water is not cold. The little cottage is not quite ready for our friends and relatives who are coming to our 50Th, but it is a lot furthur along that it was yesterday at the same time. Friday we will return to finish the job.
