Lake Ontario



5:30am.  Little Wonder needed a potty break.


This was a perfect day to be at the beach with good friends.  As soon as I got up I started baking chicken as we were on tap for bringing salad makings for lunch.

Little Wonder was very excited to be included.

When we got there I put together 7 huge salads. 
 Mixed greens, home grown tomatoes, bean salad, peppers, homemade croutons, chicken and Feta cheese.

We ate on the deck and there was a nice breeze.
Topper, Joanne, Les, Carol, Gary, Topper and me.  Kristen took the photo!
This is Kristen.  She is Carol and Topper's daughter....here for the summer (from California).
An amazing person!  She is building a 16 foot Catamaran by herself.  Almost done.
We ate on the deck near the lake.  
Peaches and ice cream for dessert.
I took Little Wonder down by the lake and he was not interested in the water.




I grew up on Chautauqua Lake in Western NewYork and being here made me miss those days.


We were there until 2:45 and headed home. All of us needed a nap.
Night all.

The Arts Festival

Just a short shower that ended just before the Arts Festival opened at 10am.

Before checking things out in Brockport, we had to take Little Wonder to the Rec Center for his rabies shot.  Always a very organized and well attended clinic.  As you can see, he was not too excited on the trip down.


From there, we made a quick stop in the village so I could grab a few shots of Main Street.  
This has been going on for 30 years and well over 20,000 people visit in two days.





Around 11 I decided to go for a trike ride....#29.  It was just starting to get a little too warm, but there was a breeze.  This is a shortened video.  I learned a lesson....getting too close does not work very well.
Home around noon.
Got back on Apple TV and watched the first TED LASSO episode.  You either like it or you don't.  It's a little dorky, but fun.
Leftovers for dinner.
Almost every single day we have had a least one new hibiscus blossom and they are huge!
Night all.

PS
I put out a post on FB regarding my recent class and 6 people have already asked if I would start teaching again.  Just might do it!  Really enjoyed the past 4 weeks.

Last Class

We were up and at 'um early so I could put on the air conditioner in the Studio before class started.
This was the final day and here is what they worked on or finished.



Little Wonder was really comfortable around this crew and I enjoyed teaching after a 7 year break.

Gary had a couple of appointments today, and I made a trip to Wegmans....what's new about that?
I had started dinner early.  BBQ in the crockpot and made some coleslaw with pineapple.
Boiled some of our own potatoes just before we ate.

Delicious.


I can't believe we got another blossom today.

Night all.
