It seems wonderful for us all to be here relaxing and playing out of doors after such a hot summer. With Del working all week ends. It's quite cool here-on the whole- but usually lovely and warm in the sunshine-so you can choose. Yesterday we took a long paddle & carried our canoe a short way to another lake. Quite heavy!! Love from all, Ethel.
