Frozen Tundra of PA

Wed 7 Jan.  No doubt about it.  It is cooooold in PA.  The service for Lowell was on Monday and so many tears were shed.  The weather was cool but the sun was shining and all went well.   There just isn't any magic words that can make the pain go away but we are slowly starting to recover.  The big word for this week is cold.  This morning our water pump was froze.  Luckily nothing broke I put a little heater in the compartment as soon as I got up and the water was on in less than a half hour.  Then I went out to dump the grey water and the valve was froze shut,  so I get the heater out of one compartment and move to the next.  Just got that all hooked up when the propane truck drove by.  Out the door I go flag him down and talk him into filling our tank on the motorhome.  Finally just before lunch we headed out the door.  We returned around 5pm the temperature had dropped to 16

 and is on the way down to 6 tonight.

We need to get to the frost free zone,
Diane and Brad

Dillsburg

I can't believe 2015 is under weigh already.  We still have no idea how long we will be in Dillsburg.  Services for Diane's dad will be Monday 5 Jan.  We are hoping to still make it to the Keys in February.  The weather has not been near as bad as it was last year although a mixture of sleet and freezing rain has started to fall.  But tomorrow the high is to be in the mid 50's.  Things are still hectic as final plans are made. We did manage to get our pork and sauerkraut on New Years day and last evening shared some wings with Lynne and Rick.  Todays job is to find a kennel for Rudy.  Yesterday I went to the storage unit and retrieved the winter clothing we just put away last week.  Things should settle down next week as everyone heads back to work.  We should have a good idea of what we are doing by the end of next week.  Thanks to all for your condolences, thoughts and prayers.
