July 11, 2008 - Off to the North Country

Today we're headed up to the North Country - our "camp" in Jay, New York, just east of Lake Placid. Claire and I both have some vacation time - hers shorter than mine, but we'll make the best of it. Our klds - as well as our sister-in-law, Eva, and her daughter, Elizabeth (who live with us) - will hold down the fort at home.

Here's a picture of our place in Jay. (We do rent it out, in case anyone's interested.)

We have no internet access in Jay (no landline phone, either). From now through early August, the only way I'll have to maintain this blog is by using the local public-library computer in AuSable Forks, or by bringing my laptop into the public library in Plattsburgh (a 45-minute drive away), where there's a free wireless hotspot.

I do intend to keep up blogging. It just may not be as frequent as usual. So, stay tuned...

"In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength."
