July 13, 2015- off to see Norman and Jane in Newport, Vt.

  We had Otis and Hank for the weekend as Jecca and Willy had a wedding in Lenox, Massachusetts. It is always fun to have them.

 
  But, on July 13, we traveled to Vermont to visit with Norman and Jane. We all went to Seymour Lake, about half an hour away, to visit the camp that Jane rented for two weeks. Her family has rented on Seymour Lake for over 18 years. It is the largest lake entirely within Vermont's border. The camp is a modest cabin - pump the water, which is no potable. It is nice to see that these old camps still exist and that not everyone has to modernize and upscale. We had a nice lunch there and then floated around the lake on inner tubes and, when a storm threatened, we sat on the screened porch and watched the rain and chatted, chatted, chatted. Afterwards, we went back to their house where we had a lovely pork tenderloin dinner and watched the U.S. Women's Soccer Team on a tape of their win in the World Cup over Japan, a match we had not seen. It was a lovely, lovely day.
