08/02/2016 - Since it has been awhile since I last did a post, I can't remember half of what we did but will try to put some into words. On 7/24, we moved the RV from the campground to Uncle Allen's place. We were able to park right beside the garage so was not difficult to utilize some of their facilities.
On 7/26, we had dinner plans with some of the Schlabach family. I was not sure that I knew anyone but then one of my elementary classmates was in attendance!! I was really surprised. It was a very nice evening. This day it was also the one year anniversary of Uncle Lee's passing.
7/27, I took Aunt Ada to visit with Aunt Martha and I went to Marysville to have lunch with some of my classmates again. In attendance was Karen Yutzy Whitmore from Norfolk, Virginia. It was so nice to chat with her. She was here for a Farmwald reunion that was held on 7/28 at Uncle Allen's house.
7/29, My cousin Robyn flew in from Phoenix for the Yutzy reunion. We drove to Rosedale to help with getting the light dinner together and then of course got to watch relatives arrive from everywhere. It was a great evening to get the reunion started.
7/30, Continuation of reunion.
7/31, Some of the relatives left in the morning but those of us who stayed, we had lunch, a little cleaning up and then back to the RV to finish Aunt Ada and Robyn's packing since they were leaving for Phoenix. Their plane was scheduled out at 6:05pm. Aunt Esther and I took them to the airport and then Aunt Esther decided to stay with me for the night.
8/1, I decided to take down the antenna for the TV since I could not do it myself this morning and of course we had a major issue. The stupid thing would not come down. In the process we cracked the level that was suppose to bring the thing down and finally Connie decided to climb up on the top to see if she could help push the thing down while Aunt Esther and Onita were turning the level. Well, nothing worked, so we finally gave Connie and hammer and screwdriver and she was able to take the thing down but of course now nothing works but that is OK since I usually use the satellite dish. So needless to say Aunt Esther did not leave Plain City very early. I then went out for lunch with Alma and Mary Grace. It was nice to spend time with them. I got a call around 1:00pm that my friend Louie got an earlier flight from Chicago and I would be able to meet him for dinner. We ate at a german restaurant. It was delicious and I was so happy to catch up with Louie and all the news. He will be in a seminar until Friday.
8/2, I got up around 8:00am and started to get the RV ready to depart Plain City, Ohio for Sommerset, PA. Uncle Allen decided that I could drive back to his farm and fertilize the hay field with my black water and my gray water. So I drove back and at the edge of the field, we dumped the tanks. I then returned to his house to fill up my fresh water tank for my drive to Delaware. By the time, I got the tank full, the car attached for towing and said my good byes it was 11:30am. I stopped for gas at a Pilot truck stop and it was so busy I had to go on and then stopped at a rest stop for lunch. For some reason the drive seemed much longer than it really was but I got the the Walmart in Sommerset, PA at 5:05pm. Found a spot to park but then just rested for about an hour. Now I have had dinner, took care of the car for the night, ran the generator for an hour, brewed some tea for tomorrow so am going to check out some things on the computer and go to bed. I have 260 miles to my brother's house so want to leave around 9:00am since I am planning on about 6 hours traveling.
