ROAD TRIP, STUFF TO DO, & A CACHE

HAD TO GO HERE THIS AM

GIANT DRYERS !!

WAL-MART HORSE BARN

TRAIL HEAD CACHE

THE CACHE WEATHER ALL WEEK RAIN, TODAY GREAT SUNNY 65

What have I been doing? Well not much, this has a week of and rain and cold all during the week. Today is the first sun we have had. I guess I'm a sun shine kinda girl.....

Had to go to the laundromat this AM to dry a load of clothes. My 42 yr old dryer bit the dust this spring and I'm not buying a new one. Been a long time since I went to a laundromat, this is a new one just opened a few weeks ago, and my how things have changed. The cost, wow, 5o cents for 6 min. I remember when it was 25 cents for 20 min, needless to say not going to be going there very often!

After that took Maggie home and went to Wal-Mart. Thought I might show you what the marts in our area do in the parking lot. They make a horse barn for the Amish, we have a pretty large Amish community in north west PA. Several different types of buggies parked here today. Just something interesting I seen today.

Now for the fun ......... we are taking a road trip this weekend. Going to VA to my daughter's. We plan on going to Thurmont MD on sat to a large town wide fall festival, Color Fest. We will take the fur babies, my daughter has a doggie stroller, and they both will fit. I sure wish I could find one at a yard sale, they cost new $50 big ones. Sun. we ( I think) will go to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Steeler & Browns play. Can't wait for that game either, love football, esp, the STEELERS. Everyone in my family is a Steeler fan but my dad, and he is a true Cleveland fan, Indians, and the Browns, has been all his 86 yrs. lol have to laugh he is funny about his Browns and my granson, his greatgrandson loves to tease him about them.

And he hardly ever gets to watch them in FL, I think we will look for a sports bar when I get there and see if we cant get to watch some games this fall/winter. Any way I am looking forward to this road Trip, oh, and on Mon, we well go to Lancaster Pa to a few wholesale businesses my daughter needs some painting supplies. And its always fun to go there. And home on Tues.

The cache of the day is one I found a few weeks ago, it is a new one, at the head of a bike/ hiking trail, that they just paved. I is really nice for walking, and there are a few other caches on this trail, I don't think we will be able to find them this year, as I am running out of time. Maybe next spring.

All for now 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
