Well, so much for blogging my recent vacation that ran from the 4th of July through the following week. I'd write something for the blog, something would come up and before I knew it another day had gone by. So I'd rewrite the blog a bit and then... the cycle continued and I never did post anything and I've been on the go since returning home. So here's a quickie of my vacation in a nutshell: Though Tuesday the 7th the weather at the camp was damp, sometimes rainy and the rest of the week was sunny and nice. We brought the camper up with us to stay in as with the various guests and all the happenings the camp was needed for others and a few get togethers leading up to our niece's wedding. Even though it was cloudy over Madawaska Lake on the 4th the private fireworks by some of the camps went off as planned and the family with the best put it off a night to do their's - spectacular. Several cookouts, campfires, Carol and I took our long walks. There was the annual Swedish pancake breakfast and the 4th of July parade in downtown Stockholm, we did a little work around the camp and assisted Bev (mother of the bride) with any tasks she requested. Once Ian arrived he and I managed to sneak away to play 9 holes of golf at the Caribou Country Club and then there was Lena's wedding which was a beautiful outdoor event at her mother's family farm just a short distance from the camp. This write up by no means is inclusive of everything that went on, we met a lot of wonderful friends and relatives of the bride and groom, Jim L. I didn't mention the food over the course of the week (plentiful and tasty) and I can't leave out Patches as he wandered in and out of most of the gatherings. I did get some of my reading done and I think I may return next month to do some of that and just gazing out at the lake.

Carol and I arrive for the wedding.
The wedding was held up by the trees, a couple of golf carts were available for those who perferred or needed a ride from the parking area.
Ian was a groomsman here with bridesmaid Traci. The Pastor and Jim L. await Lena as she is escorted down the aisle by her father, Greg.

Vows are exchanged.
Patches patiently waited in the truck for the conclusion of the event.
As close as I had time for to take a picture of the sunset at Madawaska Lake.
