Indian Summer ????

November 11th - Veteran's Day - Beautiful 60's

We here in Northern Pennsylvania have been having some wonderful weather; therefore, Lou and I decided we could finish our outside jobs that we hadn't finished.

Lou brought the snowblowers up from the barn and found that it needed much tender loving care. It was not used last winter and had been neglected the year before, so my mechanical husband, tore it apart, found one long bolt missing and from the looks of the hole where it had been housed, was very elongated, telling us it had been missing for some time.

He took the muffler off cleaned it along with the spark plug, changed the oil, changed the position of the handle that controls the direction the snow blows, as it was rubbing and had a large indentation into the brass. Once the oil was changed it was ready to try and sure enough it started and runs well. Now we are ready for snow. "not"

We went to the woods yesterday to gather green to use in our vacant plant boxes, we were able to collect five different kinds of greens and I was able to get the boxes done before having an early dinner and going off to square dancing. Last evening was a special night, as we danced an hour at the Green Home prior to going to our regular dance classes.

Last evening was very rewarding, as it was easy for all of us to see that the residents throughly enjoyed the entertainment. Even folks that were in wheel chairs, had their feet going and many of them were clapping in time to the music. The hour was over quickly and we were on to our class.

Today, I put out a few of our Christmas decorations and a couple strings of lights, taking advantage of the great weather, and after lunch we were off to Lou's house to start packing up the RV, it was much warmer outside than it was in the RV. We have a great start and will only take an hour or so to finish it up. A lot of the things will stay in the old RV and we will transfer those items when we pick up the new one. We have to remember that when we transfer, it may be snowy and will probably be cold.

Tomorrow is Lou's follow up appointment with Dr. Nespola. Lou is doing well, but does tire quickly and the minute he sits down, he is asleep, so we are sleeping in a bit in the mornings and we aren't doing anything after dinner in the evening.

Think it will be a good day to get the car washed and cleaned up again. Have to take advantage of the 60 degrees.
