Parents' Weekend - Saratoga

Early morning on campus,....

Heading off to town for the Farmers' Market,

Stopping along the way,

The Skidmore Crew dock

and the boathouse.

September at Abbott's

You know the drill,......

a delicious lobster dinner with a spectacular sunset.

Bocce before dinner

with wine and nibbles.

Sarah Goes to Skidmore

We borrowed a bigger car to fit in all the stuff.

It fits!

Last minute Bananagrams on the newly empty dining room floor.

Ready to go, bike and all.

After Convocation,...freshmen all dressed in green.

Unpacked,....

After crashing at the Comfort Inn, we drove to the shore to see Elli and celebrate the Anniversary.

It was a long and festive celebration,...

After so many years together, Mom and Dad got each other the SAME CARD and the SAME GIFT!!!!

Late August

8/16 Matt came home from DI in time for Sarah's send-off party.

Joanie came to visit.

Giant's Neck festivities a week before Labor Day.

3 generations by the sea wall.

The house in the corner grows.

Backyard Changes

The monster arrives,....

and it's hungry.

"Jim and Becky's" is looking pretty good! new windows, insulation, and siding

Oops! Privet hedges weren't supposed to go, were they?

chomp, chomp, chomp,....
