Back to what passes for normal around here

Congratulations Monet, Brian and Dylan!  We are very happy for you as well as for your families.  It was great to see everyone.  Thanks so much to Pat and Steve for being such good hosts for any number of last minute mostly unannounced gatherings around their pool.  I'm so glad that Jake and Lindsay could join us so that the out of towners could meet Joey.  Special kudos to the management of the Hotel Hartman for making it look so easy to host 8 extra people and get 3 young ladies and an unspecified number of "mature" ladies spiffed up and into the cars on time!  It was a weekend for the record books.

Despite record breaking heat, I think Kathleen and Nick had a pretty good time here in the Greater Binghamton area.  Nick helped James get the Mustang purring very nicely.  We took a ride to the Finger Lakes to visit some wineries (did you know some of them are NOT air conditioned?).  We spent a great day on the road visiting some local covered bridges in lovely rural Delaware County.  We were able to show Nick "the scene of the crime" in Walton where we were married.  Nick remembered his way to his uncle's property in South Kortright, a portion of which has since become The BiblioBarn for rare and used books!  A very cool find.  And it's for sale:  only somewhere in the vicinity of $325000 which includes this:

It was a great day, a great (hot) week and a wonderful wedding weekend!  Thank you all!
