Another lovely day and temps in the 70's. We have a nice breeze, but our black fly population is still with us.

This morning Fred and I walked before breakfast and he took a picture of the piece of dock that was floating in the pond last fall. We secured it on the waterfront between the Clarke/Furloni and Talbert cottages on West Shore Road, and since it is still there we thought perhaps if we post a picture someone might recognize it and come and get it. It appears to be upside down, but is in good condition.

I had an e-mail from our neighbors, John and Liz Randall, with a picture of their daughter, Lauren, who just graduated from College. They have had a graduation each of the past three years - Lauren's brothers, Jason and Matt graduated at Lyndon State here in Vermont in 2008 and 2009 respectively, and Lauren from Keene State in New Hampshire this year.

Here's the announcement of her graduation:
On Saturday, May 8, 2010 Lauren Elizabeth Randall was awarded her Batchelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Keene State College, Keene, New Hampshire.

Lauren is the daughter of Elizabeth (McDowell) and John F. Randall of Miller Place,NY and Joe's Pond, Cabot, VT.

Lauren is a 2006 graduate of Miller Place High School, Miller Place, NY.Immediately following graduation, Lauren, with 12 students from the KSC Biology Club, will take a Trip to the The Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks.


Congratulations to Lauren - good job! To John and Liz - if you haven't already gone through the "empty nest" stuff, I'm sure you will, but now that all three kids are grown up, perhaps you'll have more time to spend in Vermont!
