Time in Pittsburgh

This is our rental car; a Crysler and Kathy is doing the driving!!


Carmine and Kathy have enjoyed a few evenings together catching up as only sisters can.
At Bravo Restaurant they have a canoli desert that is divine!
Arby's was our stop for curly fries!  We only do that once in a while because we could eat those crispy curls of potato every day; they are so good.

At our storage unit we found a few items to put up on Craig's List.  Jayne was the M&M collector; this set we are selling for $80 if you are interested.

This beautiful Japanese Geisha Doll is just $20; she comes in her own glass case.

For your next craft project, maybe some angle wing seashells; for sale at just $20.

A bolt of red burlap for great craft projects for just $50.
Vintage Roadtrek wheel covers for $50.
If you are interested in any of the above, just email us and we can arrange to get them to you.  Friends get a special discount.



Well, since we have the rental we are bringing the Roadtrek up to Ford City where it will get an overall of the house generator at Murray Auto.

Thinking about Easter coming next week.  We have not been in Pittsburgh for Easter for decades.  Kathy is excited to make Easter bread the way her Mom used to do it!  Looking forward to family time.  And yes, eat lots of marshmallow peeps.

Kathy made a stop one evening at the mausoleum where her parents are; locked of course. Lots of memories in Pittsburgh.

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
