June 28 - July 8. For the third year in a row, the Gentiles, Bissons and Donnellys met at Hoban Cottage for an Independence Day reunion. The Gentiles arrived Thursday night with the boat, fishing gear and more new water toys! Tom & Ed joined up on Saturday and the Bissons followed Saturday night. We were able to pick up Mom, Dad, and Dad's caregiver Jean for a 3-day visit including the Fourth. With Dad's Alzheimer's disease progressing and Mom not living at home, it was a very different event. Yet it was a treat getting everyone together. We fished, swam and tubed nearly ever day, hiked Eggleston Glen, raced go carts at Keuka Karts, sailed the Snark,wine tasted at Dr. Konstantine Frank's, boated to the bluff and back (just missing a storm), caught hailstones during a thunderstorm, shared some fantastic meals including Jean's macaroni-egg-mustard & sweet pickle relish salad.
