...and I'm all caught up on my blog posts. Mike spent his morning doing the same thing he would be doing at home--cleaning hummingbird feeders and refilling them. Kathy has several and they were due to be changed. Mike happily volunteered to do that for her while she spent some time with some teenaged volunteers at the cemetery. She's even got a Life Scout wanting to do something for the cemetery for his Eagle Scout Project. He's decided to locate, unearth, clean and reset a large number of the hidden headstones. It sounds like a worthwhile project, I hope his proposal is approved by the local council. Remember the chair we stopped to pick up on day one? It finally came out of the box today! Mike, Kathy and I took a picnic dinner to the ... read more

Cousin Kathy's driveway is absolutely perfect for our trailer. We were able to pull in, turn around and easily back into the parking spot I'm sure was made just for us. We had everything set up in a matter of minutes. Cousin Bob showed up while I was getting the inside of the trailer ready for the nickel tour and Cousin Carol arrived a short time later.
