Yet Another New Toy


At an auction last week, we bid on a canoe. It was not in great condition, but we thought we could have some fun with it. A reliable source (the teenage owner) told us it was sea worthy. But, the bidding went up higher than we were willing to pay and we lost it. We were disappointed but decided it was not meant for us.


Yesterday, I received a phone call saying that the original owners, who have now moved out of state, wanted us to have the canoe that was still sitting on their property. Yippee! Now we are hoping to take it out on the high seas next weekend. (High seas in Central NY means a nice, calm lake) At this point, we will be "up a creek without a paddle" unless we find some necessary equipment. We also plan to stay very close to shore. More exciting details to follow.......
