They're here!

They're here and and they're not.

We met Pam and John in Dansville on Saturday afternoon.   They were supposed to  arrive the day before but some pesky weather intervened so they decided to stay put in York until the front went through.

We had already made plans for a picnic and outdoor concert on Friday night.  Every year, in conjunction with Geneseo's Summer Festival, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra gives a wonderful, patriotic concert outdoors on the SUNY at Geneseo's campus.   Since Pam and John wouldn't be able to join us we gave their tickets to niece Lisa and her daughter and we all enjoyed fine music and fireworks until well after dark.

So, back to Saturday.....We met them at the exit 4 off I-390 in Dansville and led them through the town and onto rt. 256 (West Lake Road).    We all parked in a small parking area the DEC provides for fishermen, unhooked the jeep and Mr. David's A-1 Experienced Driveway Pilots best man boarded their motor home for the rest of the short drive and the tricky backing/parking job into our driveway.

I must be in "summer mode" because I didn't remember to take my camera along to document this.    But you'll take my word that our two motor homes and Jeeps fit in the driveway, snugly, nose to tail.

good thing we're friends.   I think the rules of "personal space" are being broken...

Lewis is over the moon!   When he's not at their "house", or sitting next to Pam on the dock or deck he's sitting at the window waiting for their door to open.

When he gets tired of sitting at the window, he moves to the couch and situates himself where he can see the windows and, thus, their door.

when she saw me pointing the camera at her she stopped feeding him from the table....
I saw you Pam!

Other than a strenuous round of golf on Sunday, we've all just been sort of lazing around.   Second cup and Happy Hour on the dock, a little lake play, dinner under the umbrella on the deck and then a fire in the little chiminea complete with s'mores.    Summer at the lake.

Pam takes a break at the woman's tee

going out for Second Cup or Happy Hour?   They both start to run together in the summer...

and then there were post dessert s'more's

Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy - double marshmallow s'mores!

And now they're gone......but they'll be back.   Pam's mother lives in the 1000 Islands region of New York, a few hours north of here, so the motor home is here with us and they have driven up for a visit.    Can't wait til they get back!
