CAP-21 and the Central Adirondack Association would like to express our thanks and appreciation to Kate Russell of Mountain Greenery for her invaluable assistance for the winter hanging baskets that were recently taken down.
This past winter was very difficult for me as I have COPD. My thanks to Kathy and Nick at Adirondack Grocery in Otter Lake. They helped me by delivering groceries when I needed them.
Thanks also to my snow shovelers James and William Johnson and John Faber.
If anyone hears me say “I’m hot” this summer, feel free to yell at me.
Sue Hutchins,
Otter Lake

Our trip to Sanibel Island, Florida has been great, not as warm as usual—neither the air or water—but we’ve been in the ocean a few times. 
The dolphins were playing right off the beach this afternoon chasing small fish right up into the shallows where much of the dolphin was exposed.
One played around a family of three people that was out in the water playing frisbee. It was almost close enough for them to touch its back, but they didn’t. They did get a few iPhone pictures. Continue reading
