Thursday of our Autumn Vacation

 

We found the Angola Public Library and spent some time there checking our email and reading the newspaper.

In 2004, a beautiful library addition was built to encircle the existing Carnegie Library.  The result is fascinating.  The old building continues to house a research room (upstairs) and additional books in its lower level.

We ate a mid-afternoon dinner at Clay's on Lake George.  At a quaint antique shop next to the restaurant, I purchased two tie bars for my husband.  

We spent the evening watching a couple of movies and eating popcorn in the comfort of the cottage.

While at the cottage, I made some cushion covers out of old sheets that the owner/friend had sent up as a possibility for covering them.  (I'd taken my wonderfully-portable sewing machine with me with this project in mind).

We woke up this morning (Friday) to a clear view of the lake.  The weather has been less than ideal, but our vacation has had a quiet beauty to it.

After a leisurely breakfast and our personal "quiet times", we packed up and headed back home--eager to BE home.  We will lay low for a couple of days, eating out and doing some household projects that we were ready and anxious to do.  Vacations really do WORK!
