Ice Harvest In Tully

It was Ice Harvest time in Tully this week I was bound and determined not to miss it this time.


 Up through around 1920, ice was harvested off the Kettle Lakes and shipped all over the northeast.
It was fun to actually see it being done. ( the ice fishers and the scuba divers were also entertaining but somehow cutting ice made more sense.

Time to get back on the road!

After a quick visit to Rochester to meet Oliver on Tuesday, Melanie spent today getting ready for Josh B.'s last birthday party on Saturday.  Tomorrow AM we head off to Madison to spend Thanksgiving with Sarah and Alex and the Provan Clan. Then December hits with short trips all over the place.

Happy New Year - 5770

And then there was another gathering of the clan(s) for Rosh Hashanah. Sarah flew in from Wisconsin and Rachel, Chad, and Noah drove up from Pa. Noah was intent on showing Sarah his new walking talents.











David had to re-examine his aversion to "hat ladies"

After services the hats were shed and everyone gathered at Sue & ELlie's where Noah continued to enlighten and entertain:

Enough with the blessings, pass the apple......

Catching Saba up to date...

Good Food, Good Talk and Good times:

From the peanut gallery

Getting back to the Chancellor's award, before the shrimp arrived, there was actually a ceremony where the award winner's were greeted by the University President and given their award. From the peanut gallery were great cheers, and so far, only one lone picture courtesy of Aaron. Melanie just moved too fast for David. It was so wonderful to have so many of our family and friends there for the event.
