We walked early Friday morning - it was cooler than usual and nice for brisk walking. We hadn't walked for a few days - too hot for me, but besides that I was getting ready for Saturday's Open House at the Historical Society building in Cabot. I had all the albums with me that I've been working on for almost a year now, and hoped people in town for the Cabot High School Alumni meeting would be on hand to help me identify some of the pictures. Several people came by and were able to identify people in several of the photos, so for me the day was a success.

Back to our walk - we met several people and finally, due to the late hour, hitched a ride home with our neighbor, Elizabeth Weidmer. Fred got some pictures, though.
The Alonzo camp on Barre Avenue seems to be pretty much finished except for possibly some landscaping.


They were drilling a water well at the Dente's on Edgewood Avenue. We could hear the drill and if you enlarge the photo, you can see the setup at the back of the cottage towards the road.


The ladies were out on the tennis court at Ned and Carolyn Hamilton's. Also at the Hamilton's, their new two-story garage going up across the brook from their present garage, is progressing rapidly. The builders, out of East Hardwick, told us they expect to be finished in a couple more weeks. There should be plenty of room for all Ned's toys.

Enjoy the summer weather we have here in Vermont - the rest of the nation is sweltering, as you know. If this keeps up I think we can expect a lot more folks moving north, and more who are already here may decide to hang out with us year 'round. Which reminds me - the Andreoletti cottage on Sandy Beach Rd. has been sold to Richard and Carmen Gagne. We were told they may winterize it for year around use. On the other side of the pond, Carlyle and Theresa Pierce have sold their cottage on Clubhouse Circle to Henretta Splain's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Henry Mills, from Long Island, N. Y. They are looking forward to being year 'rounders at Joe's Pond, and to being near Henretta and their granddaughter, Kelli and her husband, Jeff Merrell, who live in Danville. We are happy to have them here.
