Picnic

What do you do when the temperature is in the 50's and it's raining? Have a picnic of course! Every fall our water exercise group has a picnic to celebrate the beginning of fall and all the pounds we have or haven't lost over the summer.

Carolyn hosts it. She's really amazing. We won't say how old she is but her son is retired if that tells you anything. She runs a campground on our local reservoir with over 150 sites with full hookups (for those of you who don't "RV" this means electric, water & sewer connections at each site). Carolyn inherited the property from her parents and started the campground 40 years ago. She also serves on the town planning board with me. If we ever have a question of where a property is or what the history is, Carolyn is the one we turn to.

Back to the picnic... Carolyn lets us use the picnic pavilion so rain & cold does not deter any of us, even the folks in wheelchairs or using walkers. We're a hardy crew in this part of NY! When it's bring a dish to pass (one way to get rid of all those extra cucumbers), all you can eat (that really shouldn't be allowed!) only your waistline suffers. As soon as this rain lets up it's back to pulling weeds for me! I really did NOT need to sample all 4 types of brownies but of course I did. Honestly, sometimes I just loose all self control!
