Mary Giella: August 2011 Archives

Well, Tropical Storm Irene definitely wanted to let everyone know that she passed through.  Our thoughts and best wishes for a speedy recovery go out to all that have been affected by her.

Lake George has recovered and we're looking forward  to sharing the weekend with you.  The twigs and branches will be there for you to pick up when you get back.  Come relax and enjoy the last hurrah of summer 2011 with us.
