It's a hassle morning as we have a luncheon date with our camping friend Wendy, who has resigned as the camping Treasurer due to the passing of her husband. Shit, shower and shave (SSS) and we were on our way about 11:30am. She had suggested a restaurant called Mazio's in Clarence. It was so busy! No wonder, they make their own home made bread and chips. We had great food and visited away. She passed over all the records and cash on hand. She commented on all that she has been doing; and how much she didn't know how to do now that John is gone. Very sad! She has sold their motor home.
We had a baby ice cream cone once back to Batavia and then couldn't face making supper.
We have been talking about updating our telephones. Once Betsy was home from work, we all went to Verizon. Within an hour and a half and Bob and I both have the I phone 5. Betsy put ours on her plan so we have more data space available. We were so lucky; as the girl rang up the purchase a special came up and we received a hundred dollars off each phone. Yeah! All the stuff one has to know to get it to work right, sink this, sink that, this password, that password...holy molly. We weren't home an hour and I was ready to give it back.

| I HATED THE NEW PHONE! |
The manual is worthless! A stinky tiny pamphlet was all there is available. Man, I have no patience. Betsy is a big help. She showed both of us several features. I took a photo of Cinderella and posted that to my screen saver by myself which surprised me.

Tomorrow will be better when not so tired.
We had cereal and headed to bed around 10 ish.
TUESDAY:
I was up early, even before Betsy at 6:00. I was hungry. I made some toast and coffee. It was cold all thru the house. So I put on my fluffy housecoat and jumped back in bed. I slept until 9 something, and then it was hard to wake up.
I started the washing from our camping trip. I had to wait until Bob got up so I could pick up the clothes upstairs. Come on Sleeping Beauty-get up!
That evening I was checking my contacts in the phone, they were all jumbled. I redid most of them and then Betsy offered to help me. None of my doctors names came in so I have them to add. I think Verizon only loaded Bob's info into both phones. They had trouble with my phone, it took a long time to set it up.
WEDNESDAY:
I went outside this morning to take a picture of my rhododendrons; as they are so pretty right now. Plus I wanted to practice with my phone. The camera part works much easier than on my previous phone.

| I JUST LOVE FLOWERING SHRUBS! DO I NEED TO TRIM THAT SPURT OF GROWTH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PINK BUSH? DOES ANYBODY KNOW? |
We needed a few things at the store so about 11:30 am we went over to "Little Buffalo" (west side of Batavia). Man, the traffic downtown and school isn't even out yet. I went to Wally World while Bob went to the pool place.
Once home he worked on the pool. Those flying white things are making havoc on the filter and pump basket. I went out to take the flannel sheets off the motor home bed and to clean!
Bob and Betsy mowed the lawn before supper as rain is predicted for four days. What? Four days? I watered my plants anyway, that rain may miss us.

| PROOF OF A HARD DAYS WORK! |
THURSDAY:
We wanted to go to the Apple Store at Walden Galleria to get the insurance coverage (Apple Care) on our I-phones. Also Bob had scheduled a class in I-Photo 2. It was one heck of a drive up there in the pouring rain. Of course, my fear button starts up when the conditions are bad and I'm instructing Bob to no avail. I dropped Bob off and went to Macy's, later joining him to get my phone coverage.
 |
| A GREAT TREAT ON OUR SHOPPING TRIP TO GALLERIA.
Betsy sent a text, she had come home at lunch to let Cinder out. She saw a deer and a fawn in the back field. She took a photo from the porch deck but it's hard to make the animals out with all the rain. So unless there was twin fawns, the coyote that we spotted last week hadn't killed the fawn. So now we have to watch for it.
|
After supper, we saw two deer (no fawn) and Bob was able to get a couple shots of them. They came right up close to our fence.
FRIDAY:
Bob wanted to do stuff around the outside this morning before we headed off for PA and Ohio. I went to the grocery store for a few items to bring on the trip.
After lunch, Bob took a nappie and I loaded the motor home. (foods, meds, cosmetics and clothes) I was ready to go when he woke up. We had a cup of java and he began unplugging the motor home. We drove up to the college parking lot and hooked the car (toad) up for towing. And away we went! It's about 3 hours to my sister's house and we made it by 8:30. I took a nappie on the way and when I woke up Bob had the pedal to the metal. (Over 65) I asked when they changed the PA speed limit. Ha! He was beyond the 55 posting limit.

SATURDAY:
Toots had to go to town for a few things plus she had a graduation party to attend so Bob and I headed to Ohio to visit with his sister, Marj.
On the way, we stopped at the White Turkey Drive Inn for lunch.
What a treat!
 |
| THE JUKE BOX MACHINE STILL WORKED FOR A QUARTER. |
 |
| WOULD YOU LOOK AT MY ROOT BEER FLOAT! IT WAS SO DELICIOUS. I didn't need a sandwich. |
We also took the time to ride around the Conneaut Harbor. Many relatives had worked on the docks unloading big ore boats. Bob just can't miss seeing it all.
On the way back into Pa, we stopped to visit Bob's Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Goldie. They have the original Fobes homestead.
 |
| THEY HAD THE AMISH COVER THE BARN WITH VINYL SIDING. THEY ARE DOING A DIFFERENT BUILDING EACH YEAR. |
They now have 3 horses and about 7 carts and sleighs left per Goldie. They had help mucking the stalls during the winter but are now doing it themselves. Uncle Goldie was telling of his "slow down", he thinks he had a stroke. He couldn't get up on the tractor so he built a step on it and away he goes. Amazing couple, just love em.
SUNDAY:
@ Dalton's Graduation party.
 |
| ME AND TOOTS |
 |
