As if 60% occupancy in July wasn't a bit of a stretch  in itself... (....that is foliage type occupancy when it seems like every room is full every nite) we are already past that now for August and August isn't over!   Then all the family celebrations during this past week was simply just... "over the top"... we just crashed  yesterday... it was the first day we had nobody checking in since the 8th of July!

It was also my birthday which we celebrated by a trip to the Lake to remake all the beds and load up all the trash from the week spent there by 12 of my grandchildren... we also picked up the second car my brother Marc was using over at his place on Shadow Lake.... it was a good thing we had the two cars... since there was barely room for Philip and the trash!    :)

Of course we had already celebrated my birthday twice... plus Marc's birthday... and my daughter Carla's birthday... all during this incredible  "week of the family" that just came to a close... there were 63 people who came to the party Mom wanted us to throw to  "Celebrate Her Life..."   there are no words yet to describe that night of August 26th at the Town & Country Resort in Stowe.... maybe next time...

We barely survived physically... been hacking for several days now and slept forever this morning... more guests arrive a little later on for tonight ....

Did fine with realizing this was my 75th birthday... at least until one of my brothers suggested that I had now lived three quarters of a century....  guess that means I am in the final quarter  of the game.... hmmm... I will be musing more about that I am  sure...
