Dot Purchase was in town visiting in the old neighborhood, over the weekend. She spent time with Mil and Vereenhouts and others who dropped in. She is now living near Albany, so maybe we will see more of her.

We enjoyed visiting our family who were camping during the three-day Labor Day weekend. They were in a sheltered place off Route 88 and on Sunday we all climbed aboard a six-wheel flat bed wagon, pulled by a 29-55 four-wheel drive John Deere (air conditioned) tractor to climb to the top of the Matterhorn (locally known as Datthyn Hill). This hill is four inches lower than Brantling. We consumed a picnic lunch of assorted sandwiches and accompaniments while absorbing a nature study with the kinds of wild berries, assorted trees including apple and tulip. We could see Marion to the West making out Magde's silos and the Marion reservoir and Lake Ontario to the North.
