Lawn Mower Race

Yesterday, we had Ron's two sisters and his brother with their spouses over for a barbecue. We had an enjoyable time and caught up on what the families have been doing during the Covid-19 lockdown.

His sisters and their husbands had to return home and left, just as it was getting dark. His brother and family were staying over until Monday.















Today was an overcast, with a few scattered showers and they wanted to go boating regardless, so Ron took them out on Chemong Lake which is just a short distance away.

I knew what it was going to be like on the lake and decided to stay home and let them see just how rough the lake can get even in the pontoon boat. Needless to say, when they returned, they were all soaking wet and I had the kettle on to give them something hot to drink.















After supper the sun came out and Ron challenged his nephew to a lawn mover race of five laps, which started and ended by the house, went around the front lawn across the driveway up the side lawn and back across the driveway to the front of the house.

Ron was in the lead for most of the race, but at the end he lost in the final lap.
