bit ridiculous with three! The tiny of village of Houghton probably has a population of less than 200 without the college counted in. The only church in town, Houghton Wesleyan, has three services each Sunday morning. The first one is at 8:20 (for the convenience of people walking across the state, of course.) The three hundred seat place was more than half full, the band was excellent (piano, flute, guitar, bass, drums, and vocalists), the speaker was good, and we were out and walking along Rushford Lake before ten.
Early afternoon, we headed back to St. Patrick's hall in Belfast and enjoyed a community roast beef dinner. Bowls on the table; pass and help yourself. Some conversation with couples from nearby Rushford lake. The lowest-sugar pie was the pumpkin which was real good. A treat I've frequently seen in Pennsylvania has been peanut butter pie, (Margaret wouldn't let me
touch it,) but today on line I found a low-sugar version which I must try when we get home.After a rest at the inn, we returned to the church across the road to attend part of an organ recital. A number of talented musicians each played one or two pieces on a new and very impressive instrument - - built in Montreal, by the way. And, we still got in some more walking in before supper.
Other highlights? - - We saw a field of vultures this morning and Margaret saw a couple of deer near the edge of the woods this afternoon. And we have each lost 10 pounds so far!
