We arrived at Chautauqua yesterday around 4:30 and Paul Storey, Tom's teammate and friend from O.U. basketball, arrived shortly after. It was a cool day, but sunny and the water was calm so we took a booze cruise around the lake before dinner. Evie made moussaka for dinner, with fresh corn, salad, and Tom's bread. Peach/blueberry cobbler for dessert. So great to be here!

Sunday we took a long walk around the Institute, listened to the choir and church service in the Amphitheatre, admired the houses and gardens on the grounds. It was really windy by the lake and cool, it really felt like a fall day. Beautiful flowers everywhere. One thing I love about Chautauqua is that people put huge bouquets of gladiolas on their front porches. So colorful and cheerful.

We played some bean bag in the afternoon, then went to the Lenhart Hotel at Bemus Point for drinks on the front porch, and burgers at the See Zurh. A great day.

Tomorrow Paul leaves, and Linda and Rich arrive. It's supposed to be a beautiful day, so we will get in some lake time.
