We have finally got the boat in the water. When the boat would not start I attempted to fix the problem myself. After unsuccessfully working on the motor I had it taken to a marina where they fixed what was really wrong with the boat and also repaired what I had tried to fix.
All's well that floats well.
On Friday we went to dinner with Kate and Roger to Andiamo's in Rochester and then went to a play, Jeckle and Hyde, at the Avon Theatre. A good friend of ours, Jeff Stillman had a part in the play. It was a musical version and was done very well. After the play we returned to Kate and Roger's house to watch the 7th game of the Stanley Cup. Detroit versus Pittsburgh. The Red Wings lost 2-1 and now that the season is over and we can resume what little normalcy we have to our lives. Better luck next year.
Polly went to New York for a wedding with her sister Sarah and Mark stayed on their boat with the girls on Friday night. But by Saturday the girls asked Mark if they could stay at Camp Ortonville with us. Of course we said yes. On Sunday morning the girls wanted to do more things than we had time to do. They got up watched cartoons, had waffles for breakfast, went into the hot tub, went for a bike ride, made water balloons, played with water from the hose, and wanted to go for a boat ride.
Watching cartoons is exhausting work. 
Waffles are becoming an Ortonville Tradition. 
I'm never sure who has more fun. 
The ammo. 
All Grace needed was a balloon and a puddle of water. 
Water and a driveway... What fun. We had a wonderful time on the boat even though the water was freezing. We got the girls back to Mark tired and hungry. Sorry Mark. We got back home exhausted from too much fun.
I received an e-mail from a friend with an article on diet and exercise. It ended with the following advice:
'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'
Life is Good.
