08/29/16 - On 8/26, I got up and did some laundry, packed my suitcase since I was going to my nephew's house (Philip) for the rest of the weekend.  In the afternoon, a niece (Beth) and her family arrived from Pennsylvania and so we did some visiting.  At 3:30pm, I went to Philip's house since they had eye appointments in Watertown and I wanted to ride along.  I then had my glasses adjusted as well.  After the appointments, we went to Ponderosa for dinner and then back to their house.

8/27 - I went to my sister Ruthie's since a son (David) and his family arrived for breakfast.  David lives in Wisconsin and was in Croghan for the week end.  I did some visiting and helped get the food together so we could go up to the camp in the Adironeack mountains. They had a huge family reunion since grandparents were celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary.  There is a large storage building that was used to set up table and chairs and the food. They had barbecue chicken on an outside grill and then the rest of the food was potluck style.  There is a cabin on the property so I decided to stay away from the reunion and stayed in the cabin but then when some of my great nieces discovered I was there, I had quite the crowd around me so the crocheting went back in the bag.  One of the great nieces did bring me a huge plate of food.  Later in the day, I went out to the storage building to say "HI" to a few people that I knew and "Goodbye" to Beth since she was  was going back to Pennsylvania.  In the late afternoon, my nephew, Peter came up to the camp with his motorcycle so of course, I had to have a ride!  It was a lot of fun.  In the evening, there was a hot dog/hamburger roast for several families that remained behind.  While eating a hot dog, I lost a part of my upper denture which had a crack in it for a while.  Philip, Virginia and I left for home since we needed to get a few food items ready for lunch on Sunday.

8/28 - Off to church and then we had a big lunch at Philip's house.  My sister Rachel and her husband left for home which was about 2 1/2 hours away and I packed up my things to leave when a great niece (Cynthia) needed a ride over to her Uncle Melvin's to catch a ride back to Pennsylvania.  We got a few directions but then I decided I would just follow the GPS and soon I found myself on a gravel road and then a dirt road in the middle of the forest!!  The dirt road had mud puddles and big rocks and I missed one big rock and hit it with my car and I thought the whole bottom fell out!!  It was a horrible noise but I checked and we then kept going because the GPS stated I only had .3 mile to go to the main road when all of sudden the GPS went blank!!!  We discussed it a moment and decided to try to turn around and I was against trees on the front end and a mud puddle on the back end but I finally got turned around!!  When we finally got back to the main road, the GPS did a recalculation and we FINALLY got the her Uncle Melvin's house.  I took off at 4:22pm for my 2 1/2 drive to my sister's house.  I stopped for a drink and some gas and then I learned that we were meeting at my nephew's house (Mark) since a nephew (Jeremy) and his family from Michigan were there.  They had plans to leave early Monday morning for home.
