Ready and waiting


Ready and waiting

The "cure chair" or Saranac chair, as the Rogers family calls it. My friends call these cure chairs, Rogers call them Saranac chairs. They were used in the tuberculosis sanitariums in Saranac Lake--they were on outdoor porches and the patients would lie on them and breathe the cold fresh air. Yeah, that's right, cold wet air is good for lung ailments. Just ask me how well that works for asthma.

Anyway, this is the boathouse, ready & waiting for my book group. We had a grand time and covered a lot of ground (including the book--Linda Greenlaw's The lobster chronicles). Mary Lou is waiting to be a grandmother, Martha makes great baked beans and Lin has a new job. I'm fighting the good fight for justice and equal rights for all real estate developers.
