July 29th. Today we got a call from Molly saying when she put her car in drive it didn't go anywhere. We went down and it seemed to be working but decided to take it to Alderman's to get the transmission serviced. Amazingly they had an opening at 1:30 so we headed to Rutland and dropped it off. Next was lunch at Applebee's and then a neat ride into Shrewsbury over the CCC road into Plymouth and then to Rt 7 and back to Rutland. They flushed the system. They said the fluid was pretty dirty but that it seemed to be running ok now. Hopefully we won't be looking at a new transmission! Since arriving home we've had nothing but heavy rain and thunderstorms. We need hot dry weather. Hay is going to be outrageous if we ever even can get any. This weekend John and I are going to Burlington for our anniversary. (22 years!) He's hoping for his furlough from GE for Aug. through October. He'll find out soon.

July 29

Hey there! It's been a long time since I updated my blog. We had a great time at Lake Sunset. The weather was reasonable, some rain, but not a washout. We were able to swim, kayak and fish almost every day. Bubba brought his bike and did lots of riding usually 10 or more miles each day. Leanne brought her roommate Jessie and we all really enjoyed visiting with her and Drea her little Yorkie. Megan was able to come down also with some friends too. Carol was fun as usual! Wish Mike could have joined us more, but we understand about farming. We ate way too much, but it was all delicious! Thanks to Grammy we enjoyed a buffet from the Chinese place in Fair Haven. One of the best things about camp was the dishwasher! We also had a great campfire one night, Leanne introduced us to "Buttery Nipples". We also had a nice visit from Paul and Bea on our last night. Looking forward to next year!
