Schuylerville, NY Aug 12, 2014

There is smething wrong with my Mac computer. It comes on but the screen is black. Trying to blog with the Android tablet  is painfully slow. And pictures are out of the question.

So this will  be short and sweet. We have enjoyed our travels down the Richelieu River. Then we travelled Lake Champlain. Green Mountains to our starboard side and White
Mountains to port. The weather has been perfect, so our travel has been idealic. Such beautiful scenery. The lake narrows to the Champlain Canal, still with mountains on either side. Brought back memories of travelling the Tennesee River with Steve and Linda Franko aboard their boat Yesterday's Dream.

There is supposed to be a big storm coming in late Tuesday and hanging around till Wednesday.  The lockmaster said it was coming in fast and we should stay at Schuylerville.  We took his advice.  We wen out for lunch, did some grocer shopping, started a load of laundry, and went in search of and ice cream cone. By this time it was 5.30 pm. No dinner tonight. Too full. Finish the laundry, and a cup of tea. Time to read our books and tuck in early.  Storm to come during the night.

Awoke Wednesday morning and still no storm. By 6.30 am a light shower, but still no storm. Flash flood watch tll 6 pm today in the  3 counties we want to travel in along the Champlain Canal to Waterford and up the Erie Canal. We will probably hang around here for awhile. It's no fun locking in the rain. We will wait for it to clear.

Jim and Linda have invited us for breakfast. Pancakes, fried apples, bacon, and we will bring the maple syup. I smelled her cooking this several mornings ago. It smelled heavenly.     Yum. Yum.
