Church this morning, pier all afternoon, dinner party at Linda's cottage with Jean, Betsy and Jody. Jack was on very good behavior despite hanging out all evening with just grownups! He and Roger are doing sparklers on the deck as I write this. Jack swam with distant cousins Georgia and Ella at their pier (just down the shore path from ours). He was very helpful, several times rescuing inflatables that got away with the breeze. I hiked to the yacht club, then hiked halfway to Fontana with Roger to show him a shed that I wanted him to see (we're looking for ideas for a back yard structure). While we were hanging out on our raft, we met a neighbor, Chip, who was out and about on his water bicycle. Last night was his family's annual party on the Lady of the Lake, a tradition he said they've kept up for 42 years!
