where did all the people go? it’s just a few days after labor day and our little touristy town has a quiet all its own. happens every year, usually in the late afternoon of labor day monday. by tuesday they’re all gone. back to everyday lives, school, work, stress and the fading dreams of time spent in the adirondacks. we who live here year ’round (oh i am so glad i chose this place!) realize how tremendously lucky we are to be left behind, to not have to travel on route 87, to not have to wish we could stay just a little longer. we can and we do. the businesses will now decide what day or days to close, to still attract weekend travelers and to pacify the whims and desires of those of us who can now enjoy the “leisureness” of the beautiful place we call home. five of us tried two different restaurants this morning, hoping to enjoy breakfast without waiting in line. those two places were not open today, tuesday, so we drove through lake george village to a “sure thing”. the diner was busy, but we were happy. we decided that we couldn’t expect more. it is 9/11 and as we enjoyed our meals, we reflected on the beauty around us and how very fortunate we are.
