Down the river (with a paddle)

Saturday we spent some time at the "Lacing Up for Cancer" walk in Morrisville where they raise money for cancer patients. We didn't get to walk for very long since I needed to meet an agent to figure out some property lines. We also spent time putting the Foodshare building together a bit more.

Yesterday was beautiful. Actually seemed like summer, warm but not stifling. We decided it was time to do some recreating so we floated down the Lamoille river. We can put in just about 5 minutes from the house. We drop the kayaks at the start point, drive to Morrisville (another 10 minutes) and drop off the truck then back to the beginning and onto the water. The trip takes about 1.5 hours so it's good relaxation but not an all day endeavor.

I then went over and dug a bit more at Waterville while Caroline stayed home to write a contract on a property up in Eden.

We are talking about moving the location for the Waterville cabin. We've realized that it has become a large cabin and as such might be better off at another site, away from the property line and closer to the current pond. I staked out a proposed area yesterday. We really like the latest plans the architect came up with and suspect they will have to change if we move the building but better now then later.

I didn't get as much done as I had hoped since the neighbor came over to see what I was up to and he likes to talk. It's good to catch up on things and he is certainly an interesting individual. It's nice that he wants to have a good relationship. It's his son, and family, who have put the trailer on the property in front of ours and they don't seem that interested in talking with us.
