We've had the whole family home for the first time in a while this past week... today we visited an old favorite haunt in Mumford, NY - about 50 miles from Buffalo. The restoration village is the third largest after Williamsburg and Sturbridge - much quieter too.

Donna and the girls decided to ride a helium balloon - a Civil War restoration.

I preferred to keep my feet on the ground and watch the animals.

There was a marvelous new exhibit in the Museum with a pile of 19th C. hats. I had a hard time taking pictures, but here are a few. There were many top hats:

This beaver hat was made in Rochester, NY some time after 1847

A woman's bonnet in plaited leghorn straw.

Gentlemen, outstanding crop of hats all! Alan you and Seabass have a beautiful set of twins there, plus wonderful shots of the old top hats and 1800's balloon!
We finally got much needed rain and cooler temps after two month draught. Off to dinner in almond Open Road 4X, Cheers from KC!

Here are a couple of shots from yesterday at Buckaroo Hatters.

I think the Major looks good in a fedora.

Not so sure about me in a top hat... but Mike did a great job on this one!
He said it was not hard pulling it on the block, I dont believe him!

Took the puppy to Ft. Funston, right at the edge of the Pacific (although you couldn't tell through all the fog!), for his first off leash outing today. Sporting my Dobbs Gay Prince.

The past couple of days I have been at our cabin up near where the Mississippi river begins out of a spring - Itasca Park, MN. Our cabin in on a 6 mile lake, Long Lake. Lots of Long Lake's in MN, "Land of 10,000 Lakes." Our cabin is near Park Rapids (south of Itasca Park). The cabin is hidden within the pines and birch trees. It always reminds me of my Granfather's place out on an island,in the Baltic, off the coast of Finland. First 2 days we gave the old cabin a fresh coat of paint. I took only a milan, as the weather was 50'sF to 85'F. Great vacation!

Took pics of the "Blue Moon (2nd full moon in a calendar month)." I tried hard, but I could not capture just how brilliant the moon and its lumious beams refelcted upon the lake. It was truly a sight. My shots did not turn out.

Pic taken late evening before taking a sauna. We have a sauna above the boathouse which is conveinent to jump in the lake.

New Dept.Nat.Resources rules say that if a tree falls in the lake it must stay put! It offers natural cover to fish and wildlife. I like this fallen tree on the other side of the boat house.

Saying goodbye this afternoon to the cabin and heading back to Mpls/St.Paul, MN. Näkemiin.

Back at home and finished walking the dogs around the lake.

I hope you are enjoying the weekend. Hyvää päivää. Eric -
