DeJoux House

Well, it was memorial day. We had no bathroom, no kitchen, nowhere to entertain...so what do we do? Invite all our friends in Ulster County to a Garden Party. It was a beautiful day, if a little hot for working and preparing for guests. Before we had even started we braved the pond for a swim. It was amazing. All morning we kept jumping back into the pond. Daniel made me a work bench on the porch to make Pimms and English style sandwiches (Cucumber, Cheese and Branston Pickle, Ham and Tomato, Beef and Horseradish, Egg salad and watercress). I wandered round to all the neighbors and those who were in, I invited. As guests started to arrive, Cindy was still in her bikini. (she had put the bikini top back on by then). It was great to meet our neighbors Bob and Carol from across the road, Neil and family from the other side of the trailer and Colette and Tom from further down Springtown Road and happen to be Dawn's (from R/GA) in laws. In fact it turned out that people stay...
