Saturday at Lisa G's......

The Lake Placid Rotary had a benefit yesterday at Lisa G's Restaurant in Lake Placid.

For ten bucks it was all the lasagna and spaghetti, salad and italian bread you could eat.

Good stuff.

They also had the Dam Duck Race where 1000 numbered rubber ducks go over the dam behind Lisa's and down the stream, by the restaurant where volunteers with nets catch the ducks, if your ducks # comes up, you can win up to $1000.  We didn't win, but watching all those ducks was a hoot.

After the race there was music by Jay's band Hi-Fidleity SoundSystem, featuring Lady Lee.

Awesome roots reggae and let me tell you, Lady Lee has presence and a phenomenal voice.

Here's some pics from the show.

Weekends.....

Pretty flowers.

And a kiddie picnic table I made this week.

Have a good weekend my friends!

Weekends at camp.....

This is the time of year that we make our weekend trips to camp in Cape Vincent, NY.

Camp is a special place, located on the St. Lawrence River. 

Our camp itself is nothing special, a 40 year old single wide trailer, with 2 bedrooms and a bath and a half.

But the fact that we've got Pop's boat there and the friendships we've made make it my favorite place to be in the summer.

Here's some pics from the past couple of weekends.

The BIL's new (used) boat. She's a beauty.

Margie and Nance on the bow at the dock.

And, they're off.......

Kebabs we made Saturday night.

There's Red, taking a nap with her stuffed bunny.  I didn't pose the bunny.

So that's a smattering of camp. More forthcoming......
