Andy Horton is going to the STAR WORLDS 2011!! His parents Maryann and Fritz Horton will be flying to Australia tomorrow, and spend a month there. 1200 participants are already registered in this massive regatta for all Olympic Classes. This will be the sailing event of the year to follow.
I just spent the best week of vacation, ever, at Adams Landing B&B and the Kelsey House, in Grand Isle, Vt, right on Lake Champlain. Great eating, swimming, boating, walking, and reading on the grand wrap around porch on this historic building. Built in 1840, the Kelsey House, had a huge addition put on in 1900 in a similar style. At one time it was owned by the people who ran Adam's Landing, where the Ticonderoga, now at Shelburne Museum, made frequent stops. Present owners, Jack Sartore and Sally Coppersmith have carefully restored this building over 30 years of time.
Carolyn L. Bates, with help from wildlife photographer, Peter Larsen, had the great pleasure to photograph one of Cynthia Knauf's fabulous landscapes for Design New England Magazine.
Carolyn, Peter and Cindy, cruised around the Flynn Center Islands Garden tour through 9 gardens and tea party with cameras, maps, lemonade and ghiradelli chocolate brownies. South Hero, Grand Isle, and North Hero. And yes, Carolyn is one of those Kansas babies. She found the owners at Ferry Watch, were, too. 
Best place to see the fireworks and have dinner is at the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center on the waterfront in Burlington, Vt.
Lighting is lots of fun when you are dining with your great client, an architect, and his family. Nils Luderowski specializes in great Adirondack summer camps with a twist.
