We left home yesterday at 1:30 pm it was a beautiful sunny spring day with a few puffy clouds. Spring flowers are at their peak at home. Forsythia, Azalea. June Berry are in full bloom and trees are starting to bud as we head south on route 15 to Harrisburg.
I love the drive to Harrisburg, the many memories, old and new as we drive along. The first an old memory as we drive past the country home of our deceased friends, Chick and Donna Dahlgren, oh how they hated the thought of route 15 going through their rural farm land. Chick died prior to its completion. Their beautiful home, stables, and lake are very visible from the RV as we travel along 15 and I remember sharing many hours of horse back riding, chats on the porch and a mug of hot coffee and watching the fish in the lake. Now Donna has joined Chick in heaven and someone else lives in the home; however, they are also taking good care of the property, but I never see horses.
Further down the road are the windmills , a modern addition to the skyline. I just love watching them and love to see additional ones going up throughout our travels. I would love to have one on our hillside. Maybe it goes back to the memories of my grandparents farm as a child. I used to love to watch and listen to them. My grandparents depended on it working for their supply of water and emergency electricity.
We stopped in Williamsport for gasoline and were delighted to find it at Sam's Club for $3.29 per gallon. I sat in my seat while Lou filled the tank with 48 gallons and kept thinking there was something that I should be doing, and yes, there was I normally would have been taking Estee for a walk while he was filling up. Just another reminder that she wasn't with us.
It was amazing to see that the leaves were out on the trees, we had traveled only 70 miles and what a difference. In Sunbury, we noted that alfalfa hay had been cut, raked and was ready to be baled. Dogwood and Lilacs were in bloom.
We arrived in Carlisle - Western Village RV park at 5:15 pm. We quickly unhooked and drove to Camp Hill to Brion and Janet's house to pick them up and out to dinner. We ate dinner at Bonefish Grill, then back to the park for the night. We left this morning at 8:30 and drove to Bristol, Tennessee this evening.
We enjoyed dinner of Chicken, biscuits and gravy, peas, cranberry sauce and for dessert we had blueberry bars and vanilla ice cream and coffee.
We hope to get an early start in the morning and to at Fort Campbell by 2:00 pm. Everything has gone well thus far. Praise God
