A good night's sleep followed by another delicious breakfast casserole. The Duck Harbor Inn is the best bed and breakfast ever!
We headed out a little after 11 to Clayton. We hadn't been there in ages and it is so nice to see how the village is becoming a bit of a refined tourist area. We spent some time in the new 1000 Islands Artisans and Delicacies, a collection of craft works by many different artists. There is also a section that features delicious looking breads and pastries. We passed on those!
Strolling down the street we happened to meet one of our former colleagues and students. We had a nice chat with Eileen and McKenzie and caught up on all the happenings with their families.
The Michael Ringer Gallery has certainly grown over the years and featured many items that were not only paintings by Ringer, but other souvenirs of the area. We do not need to buy any more items to put in our house.
We did a quick walk through of the River Rat Cheese store to see what was good to buy. Decided to come back on our way out of town so that we didn't have to carry food in the heat.
Ron and Earle decided to take a walk on the river walk while Sue and I meandered through some of the stores, including a really nice book store. Again, I do not need to purchase more books!
We met up in the park and headed across the street for some ice cream. It really was delicious and the same brand as in Cooperstown.
Sitting in the shade, we enjoyed the park and the views of the St. Lawrence.
Back to the cheese shop to get some really good treats!We headed home and decided that there was not enough of a breeze in the sun room so we had happy hour in the She Shed, where the breeze was more present.
A delicious shrimp and pasta dish for dinner followed by more conversation until bed. How wonderful that friends can enjoy each other's company without having to be engaged in other activities.
Headed upstairs and got our suitcases and clothes organized. I watched the last part of the Pirates as they chalked up another victory over the Giants.
