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.
