08/17/18 - I sure have an awesome brother.  On Wednesday, he tackled the problem in the shower and after a while, I have a new shower.  I am so excited.  I also decided to include a picture of the RV sitting on his property.

                        Now I have a little people shower and an average size person shower

                                             All set up at my brother's place in Delaware

08/14/18 - On 8/13, Daniel and I ran some errands which included parts for the repair of my shower.  They did not have the exact part but Daniel is of the opinion that he might be able to manipulate the part to fit.  In the afternoon, Daniel, Deborah and I went back behind the chicken house where two row of trees (I think they are a form of a pine tree) since Daniel discovered that two trees were damaged from bag worms and the fastest way to get rid of them is to pick them off the tree and burn them.  They are inside of the shape of a pine cone so you don't feel them while picking them off the tree. We later learned more trees were infected so we picked them off quite a few of the trees.  I have attached a picture of our collection before the burning!!

Today, Daniel, Mary Ann and I went with a senior group to Lancaster, Pennsylvania to a Sight and Sound Theatre.  The play was on the adult life and ministry of Jesus.  It was an excellent play.  We then had a buffet late lunch/early dinner before returning home.  It was a nice day.  I then worked a little on the 2000 piece puzzle and we are almost finished with it.  Now time to get to bed.

08/10/18 - I have been in Delaware for four days now and it has been great just able to sit and relax.  My nieces Christina and Deborah love to put puzzles together like I do and we have done a few 750 pieces but now Christina has brought over her 2000 piece puzzle so that will take some time.  I did work on it this afternoon and I have not gotten too far.  My brother Daniel took a look at my shower and was able to get the broken piece out and so I need to go tomorrow and try to find the  part.

08/07/18 - On  8/6, I left Somerset at 9 35 am.  I had a hard time trying to find a place for lunch and there was a truck parking only space but when I got there it was completely full so went on and then I found a park and ride area but I really never found it but saw an empty lot that I could turn around in so had lunch there.

 I arrived at my brother Daniel's houe at 3 45 pm.  We went into the house to relax a minute before parking and getting settled in.  Soon a rain storm came up and it really poured for about 20 minutes so then we had to wait some more.  I took off the car while Daniel went to search for some wood since most of my wood had split.  We then parked the RV and Daniel got the electric and water hooked up but we decided to make sure I could get satellite before actually leveling the RV.  Well, we finally gave  up and moved the RV about 5 feet out from under the trees so I could get satellite.  Finally, we got everything done.  Daniel was very kind and looked at the microwave that was very loose and also the vent.  Soon the vent was working and then he learned I needed new screws to be able to attach the microwave.  Anyway, he went for the screws and I went to Walmart to pick up some prescriptions that I needed.  When I returned the microwave was soon repaired.  Thank goodness for a wonderful brother who seems to be able to repair anything!!  When I was getting ready to take a shower, I discovered the shower head and hose was on the floor and sometime between Sunday and Monday night it decided to break.  So I called Mary Ann (sister-in-law) and asked if I could come over and get my shower.  I was so tired that I just could not make myself sit and write the blog.  Off to bed.

Today, I didn't get up until around 10 00 am and got a letter ready to mail and soon learned that I missed the mailman so I drove into Milford and got the letter mailed.  When I returned, Deborah (my niece building the house) was on her way over to the house via a golf cart so I decided to go with her and get a tour of the house.  It is really going to be very nice.  She told me today it is alittle over 2000 square feet.  We came back, I made lunch and decided time to get this blog written.  Otherwise, nothing on my agenda today.  It just feels wonderful to be off the road.

08/05/18 - On 7/30, I finally connected with Connie and we decided to go to the grocery store.  Otherwise, I did nothing.

7/31, I went to the Der Dutchman Restaurant and met up with some 2nd cousin Yutzys that meet there every Tuesday evening.  It was a nice surprise and I had a great time.  I also went to Edgewater Assisted Living and visited with my Aunt Ada Beachy and learned that she had Parkinson Disease.  She is making dolls and doll clothes to pass her time which is wonderful.

8/1, I went back to the Der Duchman Restaurant and surprised fellow high school classmates that were meeting for breakfast/brunch.  There were 7 of us and we had a great time.  I stayed around since I was meeting an acquaintance from Northern Ohio for lunch.  Since I had a late breakfast, I got a cup of soup, had a few bites and then took it home.  We went to visit one of her 1st cousins, back to the RV since she wanted to see it and then she left for Northern Ohio again.  A good day but busy.

8/2,   Uncle Allen and Connnie, Uncle Paul, Aunt Martha went to Goshen, Indiana to see Aunt Kay for her 91st birthday.  I did laundry in the forenoon and then went to visit with Aunt Lovina in the afternoon.

8/3, Uncle Allen and Connie invited all of the Yutzys that were locate to come over and meet at their house for a wiener roast and then others brought side dishes.  There were 28 of us and we had a wonderful evening.  It was so good to see everyone.

8/4, In the morning, I went with Uncle Allen and Connie to the Yutzy Farm Market appreciation day.  We had more hot dogs, corn on the cob, and garden tea.  There I met some more relatives and had a good time.  In the afternoon at 3 30 pm, I went to my 1st cousin's wedding.  It was a beautiful wedding and quite a few people had been invited and so I of course saw more relatives!! 

Today, I got things put away, unplugged and Uncle Allen and Connnie took me way back to their farm and I was able to fertilize his field with both my black and gray water!!  We then hooked up the car and I left at 10 15 am.  I had a good day of traveling.  Stopped the Pennsylvania Welcome Center for lunch and got a neat Pennsylvania map.  I also had to stop for gas and got to the Walmart in Somerset, PA at 4 30 pm.  Time for bed.
