No way, two posts in one day?



So I really should be in bed, but I am just so pumped about getting a chance to put a picture on my blog.  Coupled with the fact that I got the printer to hook up to this donated laptop.  I am feeling like a techno genius.  I will be tired tomorrow.
I love these kids.  Ok, well I am biased, but they really are great.  For as long as I can remember, when I take a group shot, there always has to be a goofy one.  Maybe it is the way they can get through the serious ones.  
This chair is located at a small shop off the road that goes through Schroon Lake in the Adirondack Park in upstate NY.  When my family arrived in the states in 1968, they spent a few summers doing various things, like I remember a story of a disastrous camping trip.  But then, a parishioner loaned my family their summer house on Schroon Lake.  And the love affair began.  Schroon Lake has become almost a second home to me, and if there is one place I would love to live, it would be there.  As a child, we stayed at Camp of the Pines, which later became known as Son Rise.  I became a counselor there in 1988 and my husband Mark proposed to me there in 1989.  I wanted to get married there, but logistics prevented it.  I have visited there dozens of times and I can honestly say that my children would love to go there again if the opportunity arose, no questions asked.
