Windshield Time


It is Windshield time! After being caught in the eddie of Pittsburgh, Pennyslvania for three months; today is a good day to drive. The day is cool and grey We did the last minute clean-up and organizing at Jayne’s, gave out good byes and hugs. We pulled ourselves away from Pittsburgh after a three month stay. We are off; well not really because we have a few places to stop around old stomping grounds. First stop is Cranberry to check in with our banker, Nina.

While in the area we stopped by Ericson and had lunch with Carmine; Maria had prior arrangements and couldn’t join us. It is really cool because they work just a few miles from each other.

Off to New Castle. The Galbrath motors roadtrek dealer fit us in to replace the kitchen sink spicket with a longer hang over kind. It was a $50 improvement. We made arrangements to pick up the part for the door we ordered from Roadtrek in Canada.

Coney Island Hotdogs is our favorite spot to eat up here. We walked around Walmart for a while then headed over for the best hotdogs in the country. They add onions, mustard and the best chili sauce ever. Yum.

Lake Arthur is close by so we headed there for the evening. We had daylight time to enjoy the cool air sitting out. The lake was fairly calm with a few boats floating. After our evening walk we watched the moon rise and the stars come out. The moon was a fall moon, orange and big and round. Our movie for the night was Alex and Emma about a writer with writer’s block and a stenographer who helps him. It’s a girl movie.

Our thanks for the phrase, Windshield Time, to our friend, OJ, founder and CEO of International computer industry giant, Endtech.

Houston Fest Galax, VA

We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose mission is to hon

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Hospital Stay to Camping Out

Update: morning started early with vitals checked every four hours, bloodwork ( interesting side note: you are given an IV port in the emergency room, but that port is not used to retrieve blood for any of the various tests once you are admitted. Instead someone comes and draws blood through a new prick hole each time. ).    I started taking a new pill, Imdur, that helps keep the arteries open. It gave me a terrible headache so I won’t be taking that again!    Went for a CT angio of the chest. Then I waited       It is now 3:00 and they are going to discharge me!!    Yippie. That was about three weeks ago. Since then life has made a 360. We bought a house!! A touchspot really because we still plan to travel. We bought a new to us PleasureWay!! We are scrubbing and painting the house. It is the best way to get to know your new space. And it makes it your own. I take it slow and sit more than I remember doing in days gone by, but we are just ma
