On June 30th we headed out for our time in the Adirondack's with
our friend Ed Winchell. I went ahead in the car to find it then called
Dave when I got there!
Ed and I waited up by the road for him! :-) Dave when I got there!
Wow, what a driveway that Dave went in to
He slid down the first part of rocks then it was
awesome once he got down there!

| ~This is the home Sharon grew up in~ Our Dad, Grandpa Richens and Brother Billy built this home a long time ago. It amazed me how little had been changed inside! |
 |
| This is a bunk house that my grandpa use to live in! It had a door and porch on the front then~ |
This is a picture from days gone by of
Grandpa Richens sitting on the porch of his
bunkhouse~
 |
| This is where we skied growing up! When we could walk, mom put us on skis~ ~Great memories from Speculator~ |
 |
| This is the school that I went to elementary school at and now it is a church, as they built a nice new and bigger one right up the road from it! |
 |
| Our Brother Billy is buried in Speculator ~ He went home to be with the Lord when he was 19. |

| Stopped by the see Bucky and Sandy and they were busy building a float for the Independence Day Parade on Saturday ! |
 |
| Sandy, Shirley, Ed and Dave It is always good to come home and see the folks that you knew since childhood! |

 |
| The Awesome IMT team at the court house in Tampa, FL gave me the flamingo so I wanted to show all of you that it came on our travels with us! We had a fire in the evening as the mosquitoes were pretty bad and it was cool as well! Awesome memories made! |
 |
| This is the Sheriff's office on the right and the Jail on the left! They had one person in jail while we were there! :-) Can you imagine caring for one inmate? |
 |
| We had the privilege of seeing Ed's daughter Susan and her son Liam stayed with grandpa while we were there! |

 |
| Glenn, Sharon and Dave It certainly was good to see all of you again! We all go back a long ways... |
 |
| A tree fell across Ed's son, Roy's property across the street! So we helped clear it so we could ride to the top with our golf cart! Ed didn't think it would make it. Go EZ-Go, She made it! |
