After not finding our camera (it was on the boat after all) and taking pictures with the I Phone, we finally downloaded what had been IN the camera and want to share these last pictures from our trip. The Boilermaker was another hot day, and my sister Carole and I watched from the sidelines at a key viewpoint up in the golf course, top of a hill and almost halfway into the 15K race.

April turned to wave just as I took her picture!
After the Boilermaker, we joined Brian's family at the Sauquoit Town Park for a cookout! It was great to see them, and a nice breeze kept the heat away -- Peter could go swimming and play basketball for entertainment while the adults visited!

And finally, the last 2 weeks we worked on Colin and April's bathroom, which had been ripped out to the studs, a 1905 condominium in Utica, supposedly the "first ever" condominiums in the U.S. Colin and April dealt with most of the rip out and disposing of the lathe and plaster, and we did a rush job, with my brother Dan's help too, of putting up the sheet rock, leveling and installing the floor, putting in a ceiling exhaust and an outlet, taking out a steam radiator, tiling the area around the bathtub, and installing a new sink and toilet. April and Colin will finish grouting and doing the final coat of paint! They'll have to send a "finish" picture, since I forgot to even take one after the sink and toilet went in -- tired, hot and sweaty, and only hours from departure -- the last move was home for peaches and ice cream before bed and picking up the car to leave for home! |
