The weekend brought a change of pace -- relaxation, exploration, extended time together. On Saturday some went on a Swamp Tour, hoping to catch sight of a few alligators. (And did.) They also walked a boardwalk through a colorful cypress swamp, replete with Spanish moss and bright yellow burr-marigolds flowers. Sunday's events included a Beignet run before worship at First Presbyterian, but not just a beignet-run; it was a comparison tasting Beignet run between two cafes. Food ended the day, too, -- a surprise birthday cake and ice cream to celebrate Debbie's special day.Reinforcements were added to our number over the weekend. These included Rae Louise Tate (Star Lake), Marvin Spinner (ALbany), Linda and Peter Foss (Scarborough, ME). And arriving on Tuesday: Jack and Susan Abbott (Lake Luzerne).
On Monday we returned to work -- a prime coat on Yolanda's bedroom, continued tile and window trim work, some dry wall, baseboard, and finishing touches on AC and heating systems.
At Royden and Lina's a growing awareness of completion was in the air -- baseboard work continued, the last doors were hung and adjusted, the kitchen cabinets were leveled, tile sealing began, and windows prepared for painting. As the day was ending, the FEMA trailer was being prepared for removal. Completion will be a while, yet, but not long.
