Before the snow arrived
April 24th - 44 degrees - Snow  is melting

We arrived home three weeks ago tomorrow and have been on a treadmill every since we drove in the drive way.  We did have a wonderful trip home and enjoyed the different stages of spring along the way and continued to enjoy it once we arrived home.  Our flowers were just starting to bloom and we have certainly enjoyed their spring burst along with the return of the birds.

We attended church on Friday night after arriving home on Wednesday evening and received sad news from our pastor of failing health on his part.  This is something that is going to require much prayer on everyone's part.  He is currently on a leave of absence in hopes that he can recover and be able to return to his flock in August.  As Lou and I approached the boro limits a deer jumped off of the bank into the front of our car.  Lou did not even have a chance to apply the brakes.  We drove a mile to the Weis parking lot and called Steve and he came to pick us up.

 The next morning, we called a roll back to pick up our car, so eleven days and over $6,000 later we
 receive a call we can pick up the car, so we take our rental car to the body shop to pick up our car.  I take the rental car and come on home.  Lou drives our car and makes a stop at his sister's house and starts home; however, it simply stops in Whitneyville in front of our Pastor's house.  A state policeman eventually comes along and helps Lou get the car into Pastor's driveway and I pick Lou up and once again we call a roll back to pick up the car to take it this time to Cole and Burd for a mechanical repair.  We finally find out it is a problem that is covered by warranty and not from the deer incident, so we have to have a different rental.  Now we have a Chevy truck rental.  Our first rental came from Williamsport and now we have snow and Hertz doesn't have driver to drive in the snow to pick up the rental car, so we have an abundance of cars!!

Lou had an appointment in Bath, NY on Monday and we had four inches of snow so we drove a aChevy Truck with four wheel drive.  Can't say God doesn't take care of you when you need it the worst.  We drove there safely and home safely and today we drove the rental car back to Williamsport, so the girls didn't have to come out in the snow to pick it up.  Now we just have the RV and our car in our drive way.  I am sure our neighbors are thoroughly confused.

I didn't mention that when we arrived home we didn't have any computer either, seems that our modem died again so we waited a week for that problem to be solved.

We also had an electrical problem and that was finally solved by having a new circuit installed on the pole, it seems that somehow was had gotten into the old one that really wasn't that old and shorted everything out.  We also found the water in the barn had frozen and broke a pipe, and we have that all repaired.   Hopefully, all of the bad luck is over and now things will be looking up and forward.

We have cut our grass twice and have planted some of our garden and have the RV cleaned inside,
 and are waiting for a really nice day to do the outside.

Have found that Google has changed the blog posting, so have struggled through this and don't know how this is all going to post, so........
