Kayaking at Cassadaga and Sholtz's for dinner

Yesterday, we put our kayaks on car roofs, headed off to Cassadaga Lakes to kayak. We put in at the Public Marina, right next to Lily Dale. We kayaked the north end, towards Lily Day, put in at their public dock, and walked around for an hour, mostly shopping for treasure box gifts. It's a bit run down, but on a beautiful day like yesterday, it's quite picturesque. Lots of little cottages with Medium signs in the door, welcoming all spiritualists who want to commune with the spirits. We then kayaked the south end, towards the village of Cassadaga, wending our way through a narrow passage or water, reminscient of the Chadokon in Jamestown. We drove back, stopping to get fresh eggs and vegetables at a stand, checked out the Ellery Diner, and returned home. We invited the Scholtz's over for dinner, pasta and sauasage and squash. We really enjoyed them, found we had much in common, especially grandchildren, typical stories, as well as travel. Because their daughters worked for airlines in the early 2000's, they were able to travel anywhere free if they were willing to wait for stand by. They have been to every continent, as a result, and are heading to Russia this fall. Majorie just graduated from the Chautauqua Book Club, and told us all about the graduation, which took place over a day an a half, with much pomp and circumstance, including a parade, a band, alums, and a late night candle ceremony. Today we get ready to head to Euclid for the family reunion.
