We left Kim early on Tuesday morning and headed north on I-81 towards Harrisburg, PA. There was a Flying J gas station where we were able to: get gas at a discount, dump the sewage tanks, fill up with fresh water and, get a fill up of propane. With all that done, we had gas and were able to keep warm with the furnace at night and have water for cooking and drinking. We were headed for NJ to see Trish's brother Jack at the Erickson Retirement Center in Butler, NJ. Erickson is a great organization and have awesome retirement centers and services.

Saturday June 6th we got off work early and Eva had to go to the Lucy and Desi Museum in Jamestown, NY where Lucy grew up. It was about an hour away from Olean so Eva, Debbie, Jana, Mike W, and I drove there and paid the $5 admission and went in. It was smaller than I'd imagined, but it had a good representation of her life. There were large panels all around the room that chronicled her and Desi's lives from the time they were born until they died. In the middle of the room there were cases that showed off some of her clothing and accessories. At the back of the room was a projector and chairs to sit in and watch movies about them and with them in them. The front had a ... read more
