09/27/16 - 9/19 - Not sure what I did except unpack and get some things cleaned in the RV.
9/20 - I got a doctor's appointment at Ambient Clinic. I saw a PA and she was very detailed with my exam, got some lab work done, order for mammogram and because of my medical history also scheduled an ultrasound following the mammogram. I did want a dexa scan but she stated they don't order those. Not sure why but oh well. She was a little concerned about the sun spots on my face and gave me a dermatology referral but I have not made the appointment.
9/21- was an uneventful day.
9/22 - My niece Deborah flew back to Baltimore from England and Daniel (her Dad) and I drove up to Baltimore to pick her up. They had problems with the baggage so it took a while before we finally got to pick her up. Her flight was in at 7:15pm and it was close to 8:30pm before she was on the sidewalk ready for pick up.
9/23 - I went to see two of my great nephews (Carson and Nevin) play in a soccer game. Also got to chat with their mother (Stephanie and their father, Weston).
9/25 - Went to church, had a great lunch and watched football with Daniel.
9/26 - I went to another soccer game and the family was invited to my brother's house for dinner after the game. Daniel had smoked two sirloin steaks and they were delicious. We added a potato bar to the dinner and ice cream for dessert. It was a great evening.
Today, I went with Mary Ann back to the dentist because I have a bigger fracture on the top denture and I got the sad news that it is not repairable. They gave me a quote of $2800 for the new denture because he also feels he needs to change the brackets on the top. I came home and did some research and now have another appointment with American Dental for a second opinion and hopefully something a little cheaper. I have the appointment next week. Tonight, we also shelled some lima beans for her to put in the freezer. Off to bed

09/1/16 - Well, it is time to do some blogging.
9/13 is a blur so not sure what I did.
9/14 - I had a dentist appointment at 9:30am and was told by Mary Ann that they blocked two hours for me and that was something I really did not understand since there was nothing to do in my mouth except repair the dentures. Well, this appointment was with a prosthodontist. He took time to check out my implants versus the missing tooth and the large crack plus there was some movement with my bottom dentures that he felt could be causing some pressure on the top dentures. This was the first time ever that he started to repair the denture while I was in the chair. He also put different connectors in my two front implants on the bottom so things would not move. I was in the chair for an hour and 45 minutes and walked out with a totally repaired denture and $585 poorer!! He felt this repair could last for at least a year so time will tell!! In the evening, Daniel and Mary Ann needed to attend a historical marker dedication at their church and I stayed at their house so she did not need to get someone else to sit with the two disabled ladies that she is a caregiver for.
9/15 - My sister-in-law, Ruby came to Delaware from Virginia to take care of three of her grandchildren while the parents traveled to Maine. Ruby had to planned to come anyway since it was grandparent day on Friday anyway. I went over and had lunch with her, We also did some alterations on a top and discussed repair of jeans and making a skirt out of a dress. We then went to pick up the granddaughter at school and attended a soccer game that was played by two of her grandsons. It was interesting. I came home and packed a few things since I was traveling to Northern Ohio with my brother Daniel and his wife Mary Ann.
9/16 - We left for Ohio around 9:30am and had good traveling and got to our destination a little after 6pm. My sister, Rachel and her husband, Ivan were traveling from Waterloo, New York and we made plans for dinner as soon as we arrived. We ate at a restaurant named Dutch Valley. We then went to my nephew Raphael (Daniel's son) for the evening.
9/17 - We left around 11am for a family reunion (Kauffman) which was also attended by my sister, Rachel. We knew a few people and met alot more people so was an interesting. Daniel and Mary Ann left early to drive about 2 hours south so he could attend a 45th high school reunion. Rachel, Ivan and I went to visit Eli and Susie Miller. We then also went to a restaurant in Shreve, Ohio for dessert and chatted with Tena Miller. It was great to see both of them. Rachel and Ivan then took me back to Raphael's house and later Daniel and Mary Ann returned. Raph, Daniel and I then watched the Ohio State football game. Off to bed.
Today, we went to church and Tena decided to attend with us because she had not gotten to see Daniel and Mary Ann yesterday. We did some visiting after church and then left for Ohio a little after 12pm. We drove through some rain but traveling was good. We got back to Delaware at 9pm. Off to bed

09/13/16 - On 9/10, it was relaxing morning and then Rachel and I went to Union Market and met Lem for lunch. The market was very interesting with a lot of various international foods, little farmer's market. After lunch we went back to the house to relax. Jessica ran some errands including groceries. We had dinner on the grill which included sweet potatoes, zucchini, peppers, onions and bratwurst. It was delicious. Later in the evening another friends of theirs, Ryan stopped by for the evening and night since he was on his way back to New Hampshire. We then decided to go to Rachel's house and meet some of her friends. It was so good to put a name to a face and get involved in her neck of the woods.
9/11, Lem went to a bakery and got ham and cheese sliders for breakfast and they invited some of their friends over. I loved meeting their friends as well. We had a good visit but then at 1:00pm it was football time so the party broke up and soon it was Lem, Rachel and myself watching the Bengals and Saints game. The Bengals won but the Saints lost. Around 4:40pm I left for Milford, Delware. It was about an hour and 1/2 drive but it took me a little longer because I just took my time. I arrived in Delaware around 7:00pm. I had good traveling. It is so good to be home and now I need to get some things done. I was tired so off to bed.
9/12 - I made some phone calls, unpacked, got more c-pap supplies, refilled some medications and did some crocheting.
Today, I defrosted the freezer, cut some garden tea and helped to get the tea ready for hot water, mae some lunch and then went with Mary Ann to pick up a prescription for her and pick up my medications for me. Tonight, I had dinner with them and we had delicious mushroom bacon soup. Now, need to take a shower and get myself to bed.

09/10/16 - On 9/7, Ruby went to work and I did some crocheting, worked on the puzzle and then went out for Thai food with my first cousin, Rick Schlabach and his Kim. The food was delicious and we had a nice visit.
9/8, I went to my great niece's volley ball game and had a nice visit with my nephew Jay and his wife. Lauren's team won both games and it was good to see everyone.
9/9, Ruby and I said our "good byes", she went to work and I worked on the puzzle, crochet a while and then started to pack up since I was leaving around 5:00pm for Washington, D. C. Ruby surprised me and got to come home early so we had some time together before I left and she had to leave for a birthday party. I left Harrisonburg around 5:15pm and it had just started to rain but I soon drove out of the rain so had good traveling. The traffic was great and I arrived in the Washington D. C. area at 7:25pm but did make a wrong turn and had to make a big square around to get back to where I was suppose to turn but I found the house. I did call my nephew Lem to find out where to park and soon I was parked and arrived at the house. Lem came home from work shortly after that and we decided to go out for Mexican food. It was very good. My niece, Rachel then joined us at the restaurant and came back to the house for the evening. Off to bed

09/06/16 - On 9/5, Ruby and I had a nice relaxing day except she did some cooking. We sat out on her back patio since it was a nice day and I did some crocheting. She went to the local farm stand and got some corn and beets. We had corn, beets, tomatoes for dinner and then rhubarb pie for dessert. Everything was delicious. During the course of dinner, I managed to lose a tooth on the upper denture. So tomorrow am going to call Ruby's dentist and see what they can do. Then we worked on the puzzle in the evening and off to bed.
Today, I had the dentist appointment at 2:40pm to learn that they could put new fasteners in my bottom denture in the office. They are concerned because actually my denture is cracked all the way from top to bottom so I will need new upper dentures sooner than later. They are able to put the tooth back in and will try to strengthen the fracture a little to buy me some time. So the lab could not repair today so I have a denture carry in at 8:00am and a pick up at 3:20pm tomorrow. I am $455 poorer!! Such is life. Oh well, it is either the RV, car or dentures draining my bank account!!!

9/4/16 - On 9/1 Rachel and I did some baking since she has invited some of her family over on Friday night to say "Good Bye" since I was leaving on Saturday. We also took out some time to visit the school that her grandson, Leon was preparing to teach. Ivan (Rachel's husband), Rachel and myself went to Chili's for dinner and then dropped in at Bass Pro to see all the displays of animals. It was interesting. My niece Miriam and her family could not come over to say "Good Bye" on Friday so they stopped by tonight and we played some games. Off to bed
9/2 - Rachel and I got things ready for the evening since two of her families would be over for dessert. We were planning homemade ice cream but Aaron could not get it to freeze. So we gotten out the store ice cream. We had a very nice evening and finally got all of my good byes done and off to bed.
9/3 - I packed up and left Rachel's house at 9:30am and headed for Harrisonburg, Virginia to my sister-in-law, Ruby. I had great traveling but ate alot of snacks so did stop until I needed to get gas and then ate at Arby's. I never had much traffic so my 400 miles went very well. I did make a second stop just to walk a little and got to Ruby's house a little after 6:00pm. We unloaded, chatted a little and then had a delicious dinner and off to bed.
Today, I went to the Highland Retreat Campground for church services, baptisms and fellowship dinner. It was rather cool and I ended up with a jacket and a lap blanket to try and stay warm. It was nice to be back in a wooded area. We came home relax, did a little crocheting and now am helping with a puzzle and then off to bed.
