Hi All: One more day here in PA. Amy went to visit with Edie in Mercer and had Pete take her and Edie's picture above while at their house. I stayed here at the Motor Home and worked on things I needed to fix. Amy also went to the cemetery and found her Grandparents site there. As shown above in the stone. It's her Mother's Parents site. She also found the local transportation as shown in the "Horse and Buggy" photo. Lots of Amish folks around here. Amy said she stopped at an Amish furniture place where they sell their handmade furniture. She said it was beautiful and if we lived closer we would have some of it. I have heard they make super furniture. All by hand, not band saws etc.... The other photo is of Jan leaning over the table at their dinner they had with their families. Gary is in the green shirt with someones elbow in his face. WE go to their place tomorrow and will go to Gary's place of employment to see how they make "Ice Cream Cones". He works at one of the two or three place that make them for us all here in the USA...I am looking forward to that. He has also given me a couple boxes of the cones they make there. So it is most probable that if you go to Dairy Queen for a cone, it is one he may have made.

I stayed here at the campground and did some maintenance on the rig I needed to do. Checked air in tires and found that they have lost 10 pounds due to cold weather and higher altitude we are here in. Brought them up to the 100 PSI I keep them at. Checked oil etc. Also had a small leak around the door on the drivers side. Got up there and cleaned out some old caulk and re caulked it. Was lucky enough to have a rain, and I mean a rain to check my work. There is a small leak still there, so I will be back up there tomorrow. I must have gotten most of it though, as it really rained hard. Not raining now, but looks like it could any minute now.

We were going out for dinner when Amy got back from Edie's, but decided to take some spaghetti sauce out of the freezer and stay home and eat tonight. That's good.

Well, that's about all I can think of for today.

Semper Fi.
