Morrisville, VT

Had a leisurely trip over to Morrisville from Rochester yesterday.  We decided to not take any interstates, so we traveled along Lake Ontario up to Watertown, and then took US 11 over to the Vermont border.  It also had the advantage of no traffic (helped no doubt by getting an early start on Sunday!).  Rolling farmland, dairy land, and recreational areas along the lake.

Saturday, while we were still in Rochester, we went to the Farmer's Marker which is huge affair.  Almost  as much fun people-watching as it was seeing all the produce and retail items which were offered for sale, maybe even more so.  Ended up with some vegetables and other items.  The rest of the day was spent in yard work and doing some shopping.  Tim and I drove by the Rochester Gay Pride festival on our way back from one of our errands.  Huge gathering in one of  the parks, there must have been thousands of people there - talk about fun people-watching.  In the evening, we grilled dinner in the cool of the evening.

As I'm sitting here writing this, Jake (Tom and Carolyn's Westy) is ringing the door to go out.  They originally taught Jake to paw a bell when he wanted to go out.  Eventually, they put in a doggy door, but Jake occasionally rings the bell anyway. 

Had a fun evening last night playing pinochle and we're looking forward to seeing Char and the boys this morning.
