Update-Still in PA, soon bad news

      Hi, I know its been along time. Thanks to all that have emailed and called. We are sorry if we didn't get back to you as life has been  a little rough the passed couple of weeks. Our sister in law Sue passed away on the 19th. We had just got her settled in her apartment in assistance living about 2 weeks prior.             
        Linda had a ugly moll removed from her back and the biopsies came back as melonoa. She had a second surgery, a much larger area removed. The surgent feels confided he got it all, but we have to wait about 10 days for the finial biopsies. Things just keep happening.  We will post and update as soon as we get the results back.
       Tom Linda's brother is still in rehab and doing a lot better. We hope within the next couple of weeks he can get into a apartment in assistance living/personal care. We hope we can get him settled before we leave.
      Blazer is doing fine. He is still as playful as ever. The doctor said his bone cancer was very aggressive and he may only have a month or two. Its been about two months and he is still going strong. I just wish we had some of his energy, as we are about burned out. This has been the worst six months of our married life, 46  years, except when our son went through his bout with cancer.
       We are planning on leaving here on the 21st of Sept. We will head to FL, as we have a cruise planned with our oldest son and his wife for their 20 anniversary leaving from FL.

Some pictures I skipped

Here is our oldest son's new outdoor kitchen with the pizza oven, construction and finished product. He and his wife Dawn did all the work. Bob having the first pizza. Inside the oven, Cy making a pizza.

While at Shady Maple our favorite Smorgasboug we saw these cycles.

Next blog we will post some pictures of our others to sons homes.

March to July in PA

  While in Pa we did get to tour around a little. We went to Hershery to tour the Antique Auto Club of America museum. There is a display of buses, cars and motor cycles.  When we were there they did have a traveling display of Indy officical pase cars.

The bus used in the Forest Gump movie.

  The type motor scooter Linda crashed in Bermuda on Jan of 1966.

 Ratan seats in a restored bus.

From here we went to the Hershey Chocolate factory.

 White chocolate Reese's, a must try, how about a 5 pound box.

Bob is always trying to make new friends.

Next we went to Hershey Gardens. Not to much blooming as we were there after most of the springs flowers were done blooming and the summer flowers were in buds.

 Next photo's are of beautiful Lancaster county. The first one is looking out the back of the RV park we are staying at. The next is looking at the RV park from a country road, the park is in the trees. This is Roamers Retreat in Kinzer PA

Circle M Outdoor World Lancaster PA 5-2011, 6-2011

Site: We had a back in full hookup 50 amp site. No privacy between sites. Few trees. Another RV about 10 feet behind us.  Good space between sites.  Some sites were very close. Site was gravel. All roads were paved.  Big rig friendly and most roads were wide for easy back in.
Laundry:There is a laundry, but we didn't use it or check it out.
TV,WIFI,Phone: There are 3 free cable channels, ABC, NBC, CBS. Then there is pay cable for many additional channels. Not sure of the coast. Over the air about 10-12 channels. Wifi in adult lounge. Our Verizon phone worked well.
Amenities: Many, many, indoor pool; outdoor pool. Indoor water park. Covered mini golf. Chip and putt course. This is a family oriented park. Many activities.
Location: On route 741 in Millersville/Lancaster.
Summary: A very very busy park in season. Many, many kids. Not the type park we are use to. There are many rental cabins. The renters are not Rver's and behave a lot different, like cutting thru sites. Also they do not seem as friendly as Rver's. This is our second stay here and the time before school let out was not as busy. But it was busy with a lot of kids. Sorry no photo's.
Bonus: In Lancaster county, one of the pettiest areas in the US
