 May 29, 2012 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter!
With Memorial Day under our belts, Summer is unofficially here! Lots of non-residents will be coming to Canandaigua Lake to take in the beauty of what we are lucky enough to live near. Feeling the gratitude. How about those thunderstorms rolling in right before the parade? I hate to admit that I (usually the Tigger of the group) looked outside and had an Eeyore moment. I was very quick to say to myself, "Look at that, lousy weather..sure they'll cancel the parade!" BUT, wasn't it exactly what we needed on a hot day? It cooled down the temps and made it perfect! Maybe next time, I'll be able to realize right off when the next "storm" sets in that we're handed exactly what we need every day and it all works out exactly as it's meant to.
