Another Great Labor Day Weekend

We enjoyed ourselves over our relaxing and fun 4 day weekend. The weather could not have been more perfect, we enjoyed spending time together after Mike's travels and spending time with friends. Of course, there was also Spaghetto.

We took Friday off and slept in -- a little -- before heading out to camp. The drive was nice and the weather was pretty good. We enjoyed a nice scallop casserole for dinner, then Steve and Helen came over to join us for Flawless. We thought it was good.

We kept getting caught up in things on Saturday (mainly socializing), but finally made it down to Bob's Camper to pay a bill. We were talking to Barbara while we were there and asked her about the movie signs we saw. There were several around New Lebanon that had "TW" on them (as I may have mentioned before, the movie signs always look the same). It turns out the movie is Taking Woodstock (see here for the movie info and here for the book). Filming has been a boon to the town, as the crew is staying at local hotels and apartments, eating out at local restaurants, and renting a large facility for production purposes. It is on our list to see next year. We returned to camp and had a lovely dinner with Randy, Ali, Steve and Helen on Saturday night. It was unplanned and a lot of fun.

Sunday was the 26th Spaghetto. The weather was beautiful (in the high 70s) and we had a great turn out. Bob and Carla are turning over the event planning and organization to Todd, Carolyn, Steve, and Sherry for future years. The four of them were learning the ropes Sunday morning and look forward to next year. Steve (of  Helen) made a very nice commemorative sign for Bob and Carla to acknowledge their years of hard work. Hopefully I can add a photo of it tonight. After a long day of work at Spaghetto, we had a long night of play. We finally made it to bed around 3 am. There were still at least 35 people at the fire when we left. Every seat was taken. I have no idea how long everyone else was up.

We started the day yesterday with the traditional workers' breakfast, then spent some time at the pool. We didn't get home until 4 pm, which is pretty late for us. Mattie was happy to see us and regaled us with tales that occured during our absence.

Now we are back at work in the real world, counting down the remaining week days and looking forward to next weekend.

Smiles!
