3000 Member Chruch

We went to a church that our Realtor and Next door neighbor attend to see a 4th of July celebration (indoors) yes I said indoors. The choir has about 160 people in it and they put on a pretty awesome show. The talent they have is amazing. Everything from Clog dancers to country singers. This place is HUGE it was being inside a movie theater with a full blown stage and a band. The sound system and lighting was a thing you had to see. Plus they had (INDOOR) fireworks and about 1000 balloons and confetti that fell from the ceiling. The place is truly amazing. They are going to do a presentation of the Dead Sea Stripper in Aug. I don't see us attending this a church on a regular bases because it is way to big and it's about 30 miles away.

I finely got someone to come and look at installing electricity to the garage. That will be nice to have and I plan on doing some more work in the side yard so I can park the Motor Home over to the side and start putting Shelia's car in the garage. I am still in the need for a riding lawn mower and I am looking. I am not sure if I want new or buy a used one. I am also thinking about buying a small utility trailer with a ramp gate. Darn ramps for the truck are about $150.00 and I can find a trailer on Craigslist for $300.00

Her Quilt

Yeah I get a old navy blanket........

Yippee my quilt arrived

We just got the quilt that we purchased in Intercourse. Isn't it beautiful!!! I purchased my first one in 1997 from the same little Amish Store. I could not believe that the prices had only gone up about $10.00. As we bake in here we have a nice warm quilt. Oh well we will be happy we have this winter. Hope everyone is doing OK. Make it a great day.

Got the Truck

Today we finely got a truck. We were going to buy a used one but with the deals that the dealers are giving we decided to buy new. It has all the bells and whistles that we want and it fits us. It gets over 20MPG and rides soooooooo smooth.....

We Made It..... What a great time we had

We did a bunch of driving the last 2 days to get home and drove by lots of places we would have liked to stop (maybe someday) The Motor Home ran great and it looks like we averaged 8 miles to the gallon. Fuel was highest in the Northern States then down here by about 30 cents. The scenery was worth it though. I was so nice seeing everyone and spending time with each of them. Tim and Toni and Emily doing great. Also Terry and Carol showed us a wonderful time and we love their house. Marvin and Joan's house is full of antiques. Like I said it was good seeing them all. I hope to make a slide show of some of the pictures we took and post it here so all you have to do is click on the link and watch the show. But that will take me some time to do and I have other pressing things to do. (Like Buying A Truck)..

Take Care and we will post more as time allows..

Almost Home

We are in Natural Bridges Virginia and should be home tonight. It had been a awsome trip and a very memorable one... We will add more later...

So long to the Martins

This morning we leave New Hampshire heading to New York to visit Lee's x-boss Marvin and his family. Hope all you Father's out there had a great Father's Day. It rained pretty good most of Saturday night and Sunday was just gray and misty all day. We had a lazy day visiting with the Martins, napping, watching the birds, napping and watching TV. It has been so nice being here. It did not seem like it had been eleven years since we were last here, well except Kenny has gotten a lot taller and he is in college now. Of course Lee and I have not aged at all. hehehe. Well I need to get my butt in gear and get Bree up so that we can get going.
Everyone take it easy and we will be typing more later.
Make it a great day.

Lobster Feast Day

Well we had a FEAST today and it was AWESOME $6.99 a pound. I can't help what it cost in other parts of the country. We made a huge mess and it was GOOD. We have enough to have a Lobster Salad tomorrow for dinner. The weather here has been almost perfect. Mid 70's with a few high clouds. Terry and Carol have a bird feeder in the back yard and all kinds of different kinds of birds come to visit. I wish I knew how to put pictures in here in the order I want them. Maybe one of these days I will figure it out...

Toured The Coast of Maine

Today we toured the coast of Maine with Terry and Carol as our guides. (We were lost all day) ha ha ha.... The picture of us has the Bush Compound behind us at Kennebunkport the day was beautiful in the mid 70's and clear as a bell. The above light house is called The Nubble Light House and is still active it too was beautiful. The stay here with Terry and Carol is so enjoyable it is so nice sitting talking and remembering as much as we can. Tomorrow will be our Lobster Feast and Terry is going to give us lessons on using the riding mower. Actually he is happy to show us because his lawn will get cut and he don't have to do it.

Take Care everyone and stay safe.

Made it to New Hampshire

We are here and the only internet I have is my phone...... Everything is good

Intercourse Shopping and Cruzin

Our Day in Intercourse. One picture I took inside one of the many shops and one of the other pictures are of the traffic. (The Amish have rights on the road way and most everyone cuts them slick) and the othe picture is of our Motor Home and what some of the scenery looks like all around us. That picture was taken about 1 hour before one heck of a Thunder Storm rolled through. (The weather changes in the blink of an eye out here). Shelia bought a quilt from one of the shops. I will take a picture of it when we get home and post it.

We are off to New Hampshire tomorrow so I am not sure when I will have internet again....

Gettysburg National Military Park

Gettysburg NMP is truly amazing and let us awe struck. There is a brand new visitor center here and toured it first and learned about the 3 days of war in Gettysburg and what the people did AFTER the battle. We had never giving it much thought about all the dead and wounded from both sides. It was eye opening to say the least. We bought the auto self tour and did most of the driving tour (it got late in the afternoon so we didn't do the whole tour) the parts we saw were enormous the battle grounds that are preserved for people to see for history is a great thing. There were many many monuments to see. The monuments were tributes to those who fought. They were from the North and the South and it marked spots where they fought. It is so hard to explain and the pictures do it no Justice. I hope to be able to do a slide show of the pictures I took.

We are in Intercourse Pa. and will be until Wednesday..

Todays BBQ

We had BBQ today at Tim and Sissy's it was Deer Tube Steaks with pork and cheese and man were they good.. In fact Tim gave us a couple packs for home.. Yummie....

We are off to Gettysburg and Intercourse tomorrow......

Heat and Humidity

Well the heat and humidity here in the northwest has hit and they are saying that there is a heat index of 100. The air is heavier then we are used to but all and all it is not to bad. Yesterday was the baby shower for Sissy and I guess it was a huge success. I washed the car which was badly needed. After we all went out to dinner and some of us went to the bar to watch Big Brown lose the Belmont. Other then that not much happened. Today we are going over to Tim's (Sissy's Husband) parent's house to have a BBQ.

Started Our Trip With A Dead Battery

We got all packed and ready to go and went to start the Motor Home and NOTHING we had a dead battery. I knew it was going bad but I forgot all about it. So I hit the battery boast button and she started. So off we went. We stopped at Sears in Bowling Green KY and bought a new battery and we were on our way an hour later. The drive was uneventful until we got to Lexington KY and the drive through there was on city streets we got turned around only once though and made it through. We are now in Milton WV at a KOA camp ground. Brianna and Shelia are watching TV and we are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. Oh goodie I thought I left this in Tennessee. Ha ha ha I have been watching the weather radar and it looks like it is going north of us. So that tells me we may hit it tomorrow..... The joys of traveling....... We will OK.......

Trip to the Northeast

Tomorrow we start a trip Northeast. We are going to Pennsylvania to our Niece Sissy (Toni Marie) and her hubby Tim and their daughter Emily. Then we are going to New Hampshire to see a old friend Terry and his wife Carol and their son Ken. Terry has been a friend for over 30yrs and I used to work with Carol. If fact I introduced them. (Sorry to you both LoL) And then we will head back south to Florida New York and see my old boss Marvin and his wife Joan and their kids. It is going be a slow trip cause us retired people have no dead lines........ Hee hee hee.....

We will post to the blog when and if we have internet.....

Thunder and Lighting...

Well last night at 12:25 the Weather alert radio went off with Severe Thunderstorm Warnings in a Kentucky County just north of us. (I have the Radio set-up to where it goes off if there is any warnings in the counties surrounding us) There was a cold front coming down from the north with a line Thunder Storms ahead of it. (I knew it before I went to bed) Anyway we have 2 Weather Alert Radios and 1 of them didn't work. But the one I just bought a few weeks ago worked like a charm. So we will be getting warnings of Severe weather and it was nice to know it worked. It went off 3 more times as the storm went into different counties keeping us on our toes for about 2 hours. We got a warning for our own county about 5 minutes before the storm got here. When it got here "Oh Boy" was that exciting. Kinda freaked Brianna out but Shelia and I wondered about the house making sure windows were closed and furniture was put away on the deck. (Good thing we did cause the rain was blown on to our deck). All is well with our yards some plants got re-arranged but other then that you can't even tell.
