06/01/19 - Not much was happening but every day living so now I will date the next event.

5/30 - I drove over to Windsor, Missouri where I have some Amish relatives and it was a good day to go since they were celebrating a holiday.  My Aunt Lena has passed away, and some items were left for some of her nieces and nephews so I went over to visit and to pick up those items.  I got some directions from Antony and the GPS and drove right to the house.  It took me an hour and 15 minutes.  Not sure of the mileage.  I had lunch with Cousin Lizzie and her family.  We then walked over to my  Aunt Lena's house to pick up the items and to talk about memories.  It was a strange feeling since of course the house looked totally different.  I then requested to get directions to the graveyard since I wanted to see where they were buried.  Four of her girls got in the back of my little car and Cousin Lizzie in the front.  The graveyard was not very far.  It was quite a surreal.  We then went back to the house and Lizzie sister Emma and her family came up for the afternoon.  We had a great visit.  I then went to  Cousin Ada Mae's house for dinner.  There were only 4 of us for dinner.  Her son Ruben (a down's)and her daughter Betty.  After dinner, she invited her other married children that lived in the community to come over for the evening.  I stayed until almost dark but knew I only had an hour and half home.  I started out and got into to Windsor and was overly confident that I knew the way home since it was quite simple without the GPS.  I texted niece Beth and told her I should be home a 10:30 pm.  In the center of the town of Windsor, I got myself pre-occupied (I guess, who knows) and made the wrong turn.  I was thinking about my day and the visit and absolutely not paying attention to direction when I started to get into some towns that just were not familiar and not the towns I remembered when going to Windsor.  I didn't really think about it until I was not getting to the interstate 65.  After 35 minutes of driving since my text to Beth, I made a mental note of the Missouri map and soon decided that I have been going west instead of east!!  I then got the GPS out and sure enough.  I drove back to the little town I just left, then the GPS got confused and soon I was on the phone with Antony.  He got me out of the mess but I drove 30 miles the wrong way!!!  So instead of an hour and 15 minutes, I was 2 hours and 15 minutes!!  I finally got home at 11:30pm.  I had started with a sore throat and just not having any energy so with all of this, I was so tired, I came home and went to bed. 

5/31, I did not get up until 9:30 am and still did not feel very well so spent the next couple of hours on the couch.  After getting some lunch it seems it was a little better.  So I started to put things away since it APPEARED it might be dry enough for me to get out of the mud and off the hill so I can take the RV in for engine servicing.   When Antony came home and after dinner, he told me he was going to do some weed eating and to let him know when I was disconnected and he would help me off the blocks and down the hill because it was finally dry enough. I was so glad.  I got disconnnected and we got moved down the  hill. Since it was getting late, we decided to pick up all the wood the next morning.  We hooked up electric and water so I was getting settled back in. 

This morning, when I finally got things together, I noticed that Marcel (Beth's son) had already got the boards back in the barn and my boards by the RV.  He helped me stow them.  Now, I need to run to Walmart to pick up some prescriptions and wash the car since I was driving on gravel roads in Windsor.  The rest of the day, should be quiet.
