May 16, 2010 - Home

We left Huber Heights/Dayton early this morning and made our way thru Ohio, West Virginia and home to Pennsylvania:

Andy and I have been to many states and still agree that Pennsylvania is one of the most beautiful.

My girlfriend Sue and her husband, Steve:

They were very active in the Bedford Village but Sue lost her life in a car accident in October of 2008 – such a wonderful person and I am so glad that this picture is there.

We arrived home and were surprised by our friends and family.  My girlfriends opened up and cleaned my house and my cousin turned on all the utilities and worked on the yard.  Then they had a little party for us and cooked supper – I am doubly/triply blessed!!!!    Thank you all so much.

Our little Dusty freaked when we brought him into the house – poor kitty!  So back to the motorhome he went. (See below)

It is good but strange to be home.  Thank you all for following along with us.  Our plans right now are to be home for the summer and leave sometime late August/early September.   I will not be posting much during the summer but will start up regularly when our journey continues.  Stay tuned – :-).

Note:

Sorry it took me so long to finalize this part of our journey.  Since we got home we have been cleaning the motorhome, organizing the house (there will definitely be a BIG YARD SALE this summer), and getting caught up with friends and family.  For those of you in the area, please feel free to stop by.  For those who are traveling, give us a call.  Our driveway is open.

Dusty has gotten accustomed to the house and just loves running thru the place.  He has become a lap cat – which he wasn’t in the motorhome – how cute.  And he is just fascinated with looking at all the birds outside (and catching the bugs that get inside – LOL!).

My blog views has almost reached 20,000 and that does not include the regular emails that are sent.  WOW!  It has been great having you all come along on our dream with us!   And we hope to have many more!

God bless!

May 14-15, 2010 – Dayton Hamvention

We had a great time the past two days at the Dayton Hamvention.  For those of you who do not know what it is is, well, it is like a HUGH Mall/Flea Market/Rally for Amateur Radio Operators.  We did a lot of walking thru all the vendors.  Andy picked up a few items that he needed and got a lot of information to check out.

On Friday night, we met up with Gary, Steve, Kelly and Ed for dinner and then we all returned to our RV.  We had a great time chatting and getting caught up with old friends.

Tomorrow we begin our long drive home to Pennsylvania.

May 13, 2010 – Travel to Dayton

We had a short journey today to the Huber Heights Mobile Home and RV Park in Huber Heights (near Dayton).  After setting up, we went to the Salem Mall – where we will park and get the shuttle and then to the Arena for our tickets.

And we had a great surprise tonight when Gary and Steve (good friends from home) stopped by to see us.  It was great to see them and get caught up with each other.

Tomorrow the Hamvention starts – Andy has been here a few times but it is my first time so it will be interesting.
