Brent, Edit, Heidi & David enjoyed a wonderful weekend. We arrived late Thursday and are leaving today (Sunday) as it is raining. Better to travel in the rain, than lose a beautiful day in the car. The kids were in the lake all day Fri. & Sat. and it was beautiful. New wheels on the dock made for an easy launch. Fireworks for most on 4th but Kim, Marilyn, David & I enjoyed bonfire & smores/popcorn. Saw new timbers under camp for first time - looks great. Hooked up drain under sink - HOORAY!

We did all & normal things...swam, canoe, table games, eat too much, read, draw, write, pray & relax...The peace is great. We saw no moose or deer - & good news is - we didn't hit any either.
Today (Wed) is cool & gray so we are mostly inside. We head south tomorrow morning with a full August and fall in front of us.

Thanx for having me. <-from Nilda

Brent, Edie, H & D's annual trip during Riverside week. Keith, Esther & guests provided much entertainment & great weather. Monday brought Mom, Dad, rain & cool weather. Two families of ducks around. Scott & Penny visited twice so Heidi was :-)! Dad spent Tues PM, Wed early AM using a can - two filled! Riverside Wed PM and Thurs the Tattersalls arrived for an overnight. The Kids played great. Heidi loved 1 1/2 yr old Alex. Adam & heidi were "armor" w/ lasers to fend off the ducks. The weekend brought lots of neighbors to the camps. Water cooler than most years so swam little. One picking of raspberries provided a good pie. Gravel delivered to parking area (back) and front lawn. Needs raking, etc... Cool nights for sleeping. Still worth coming for the relaxation.
Brent - E, H & D

Came to camp from Hersey Track in Brewer on Casey's B-Day. Hot, beautiful weather. Refrigerator won't work, gas grill has no gas, no lighter fluid for charcoal, and oven won't light. Otherwise everything is great. Saw a moose on a canoe ride and lots of ducks. Grammie Cook broke the bed.
Scott, Penny, Casey & Caleb (Nathan at Riverside)

THE FOURTH of JULY at East Grant Lake

7-5-97 You don't want to know!

7-6-97
Marji Carton was here, saw a naked guy, but other than that had a great time !!

7-6-97 Keith, Esther, David, Mel, Kendra and Chad came to the Lake for the Fourth of July. We canoed, swam, and rented a small motor boat which we took to Sandy Beach. We all had a nice time.

7/6/97
Chad & I took the raft out in the middle of the lake, after that we went to Sandy Beach & swam around for a few hours, when it came time to leave, we got about 100 yrds or so from shore & our boat stalled. While trying to figure out what was wrong with the fuel line - this man that was on shore w/ his girlfriend thought that he would entertain us for a while and walked around the beach naked. When he left instead of helping us like any normal person would - he babbled some nonsense to us and left us there. We floated about out on the lake for an hour 1/2 until Keith came out to help us. Besides that we all had a nice 4th of July weekend.

Father and I came to camp on a Saturday to jack up the South side of the camp. We also cut down a couple trees and took the wharf out of the water. A beautiful day, around 70 degrees.

(Continued from last post)
Nathan and Grampie had no luck. Water was warm. The water was high and dock was under the water. Caleb got the nerve to take off his life jacket and after awhile he learned how to swim. Casey got a great tan. (oh ya.) And now were off to the "Big" city.
Scott, Penny, Nathan, Caleb & Me. (Casey)

A beautiful day @ the lake. But what day isn't when you're at the lake? Had time to read & relax - gota sunburn - but will tan in a couple of days. Thanks for letting me come!
