Land & Sea - Quite a Place to Be!!!

A small group of about 10 of us were invited to a special day prepared by Butterfly and Sadie & Russ. They called this little event Land & Sea. We were told to bring our canoes or kayaks, supplies and a dish to share at Butterfly's cottage. Little did we know what lay in store for us!

We first searched for buried treasure map pieces on the beaches of several small islands via our canoes in the Giants Neck area of Niantic. Then, on land, after assembling the map pieces, we searched for the boxes. Those were all brought back to Butterfly's where we stamped and ate and stamped some more. A great day out in the canoes with wonderful friends. Sue and I thank Butterfly and Sadie & Russ for a fantastic day that not only let us take our canoe out [for the first time this season], but enjoy a day of boxing among friends. We appreciate all of their hard work!

Their intent was to spend a day together while bringing some happiness to a day filled with such horrible memories from the tragedy in NY three years ago. There was time spend discussing our memories of that event and some time at the Memorial Garden in Giants Neck with a special commemorative stamp. A day spent remembering, recreating and rejuvenating.
