Thanks for making me smile. I loved this post. Though have to admit it had me longing to move back to a small little town in New York, up by the Quebec border. I miss that town. I miss going to the post office to pick up my mail and it would turn into social hour. The post office had a little sitting area set up. Coffee always warm and people would bring plates of cookies. We never locked our doors, or thought twice about letting a car run while we ran into the store on a cold winter's day.

i spent a lot of time on the lower part of champlain years ago; i taught a junior drum and bugle corps in port henry, and several times spent the entire summer on bulwagga bay.

a bunch of friends and i also used to go to rouses point maybe half a dozen times a year to fish off that pier that used to be the railroad bridge to vermont.

those were great times... Smile
