AIRPORT, SIGNS OF FALL, & A CACHE

FIRST SIGNS OF FALL!
MORE SIGNS!

AIRPORT SIGN


MAGGIE & A CACHE WEATHER : TEMP 73 with sun and clouds nice day!
Started our day taking Dad to the Pittsburgh Airport. Of course I forgot to take pic's of him at check in area, didn't remember till on the way out. So I took a pic of the sign. I was so intent on finding him a wheel chair did not get the pic's. He has bad knees and is a little unsteady so he would never have made it to the waiting area on his own walking. I am sure he made it to FL before we got home. We didn't get home till 5 pm.
First off after leaving airport I was too busy taking pic of signs that I did not read them and went south on I-60 instead of north. So by the time I figured that out, I decided to take rt 18 back. See some sights on a off road. Twice there was a detour because of closed road, and I got a little lost!
Then when we got closer to home we looked for a few cache's. Only found one, you can see Maggie checking it out. Had fun even if we didnt find more.
On the way home we came upon a few signs of fall, even tho it is stilll on Aug. One thing about PA it is beautiful in the fall. I will get some more pic's to post.
Well thats about all, it was a long day. Going to do the kick back thing again tonite.
Thanks for stopping by

TODAY, DINNER, & FISHING CACHE

DINNER
NANCY, DAD, AL,(aka butch) ME

SEE THAT?


THIS WAS IN THERE! WEATHER TODAY: COOL AND CLOUDY BUT NICE




This morning went out to help son with his car. Having problems and its not looking good.


Later came home and went to WM for some food shopping. I have been cooking and eating at my brothers home and have not had any food in the house, since dad is leaving tomorrow I had to go get a few things. In shopping around this summer and last winter in FL, I have discovered that all WM are not equal. Price wise that is. Here in our town, in one of the poorest county's in PA the prices are higher than anywhere else I have shopped. It's the same with fuel prices higher here. Even higher than 15 miles south, sometimes I take a ride and fill up out of town. This is something I have never understood.




The cache is one we found a few weeks ago while out fishing. This one was a little tricky to get out , as you can see a little space with a big amo box in it!! The hole beside the rock was covered with sticks and small rocks. Fun to find. I sure wish someone in my family would go caching with me. :(




At 6pm going out to dinner with some family members with dad for his last night up north.


He will be leaving in the morning I will take him to Pittsburgh to catch his plane. He will be then be back in Florida in about 2 1/2 hrs.




More later.




Later: We went for dinner, at a local place, nice, good food. The first pic is: right front to left...
friend JoAnne, brother Al, Dad, sister Nancy, nephew TJ and his wife Lisa. Me taking pic.
Next is pic of Sis Nancy, Dad, Brother Al, and Me. Dad said to me the other day he might not come north again, (its a lot for 86 yr old) so I was glad we could get this pic of us. We had a good time and the food was just ok, not great, like it use to be.
Maggie and I are now home kicking back. Thanks for visiting us

WHERE HAVE I BEEN ???

THE CACHE IS IN THERE

AHHHH...SEE IT?


MAGGIE SNIFFING THE CACHE WEATHER: SAME OLD THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS ENJOYING! THREE LETTER WORD= HOT !


Now to where I have been. Well first of had a procedure done where there was a polyp was removed, you know the one ! Seriously , I am glad my new doctor said I was old enough to have one done, actually over old, should have done it few yrs ago. I was have no problems that would make me think I had a polyp. It was the kind that would cause problem if not removed. So I am very glad I had it done!


A few days later my dad flew in from Florida for the month , so son and I went to Pittsburgh to pick hi m up. Nice airline SW they put him in a wheel chair and transported him to the baggage area to where we waited. Everything went smooth. I have been cooking for him and and my brother every night, as he is staying with him..


Still working on purging house hold. Had a yard sale and did fantastic! I will be having another one this Sat. And then in Sept. hope to have the Moving/Tag sale to get rid of larger items.
I forgot to take pic's but will take them this weekend.
The cache of the day is new one only a couple miles away, we found it last Sunday morning in the rain. Maggie always has to sniff and check the caches out as she is doing in the third pic.
Yesterday (Sun) it rained again so I did not set up at the flea market. I have only set up once in 4 weeks due to rain. It is still raining this morning I hope it stops this afternoon , I want to get the sqeezo set up and to tomatoes for sauce. I also am going to make a hot pepper/mustard relish that is scrumptious I will post the recipe later. You freeze it not can. That's what I like, less work for me!
Thats all for now
Happy Caching
