Preparing for Christmas

Tuesday 12 December 2023

   Diane had a very busy day.  After days of shopping and buying gifts today she returned all of Monique's gifts she bought last week.  But we saved a bunch of money on shipping costs. then to the drug store for flu shot, over to Shane's for a short visit with Chase and Kennedy.
   So, what did I do?  Suffering from a gastrointestinal challenge I stayed home and worked on the blog. ๐Ÿ˜’

Wednesday 13 December 2023

   It was a nice (for December) day sunny and 45 or so.  Seems a little like ground hog day. Go shopping, wrap gifts. The Holidays are so much fun.   I did manage go to the tree farm and visit Mark for a while. Diane did her best packing up the Moho before heading to Lynne's for a sleep over. Well, not really, I need to leave very early tomorrow to get the Moho serviced.

   Today was a big break from the holiday routine. I was up at 5:30 packed and pulled out by 7 am on my way to Frieghtliner service center in Muncy.  I was in their parking lot by 10:30 ran in to check in. Then I made a cup of coffee and Rudy and I started to wait, went for walk around the building, wait, walk and wait. Had lunch wait. You get the picture. A little after 3pm they were done, and we hit the road. We rolled back in the campground around 6:30.  And even though it meant parking in the dark I did stop and fuel up.
   Diane spent the day with Lynne they visited the cemetery, shopped, had lunch and of course a Starbuck's coffee.
   It was a long day.

Rudy and the waiting game!!

   Back to the routine.  Shop, wrap and sort through the storage unit.  We quit early to have dinner with Lynne and Rick.  Food from the Hillside diner. Food was good and always a good get together.

   Today we started the arduous task of planning our trip west then south. we were planning to leave January 2nd and first was installing tow system.  Seems just as we have things worked out it all changes. The constant leak that started this trip has quit leaking now the wipers are not working right so planning includes no driving in the rain. We scheduled one day to have the towing system installed on the car.  After finalizing the plan I emailed Dan's hitch. Oh no, he needs 3 to 4 days not one.  So now we had to start all over. The oasis heater system quit again so I go out tap on the exhaust motor and it starts back up. 
   We can't wait to get done in Indiana and head south. And of course, as we head west the temperatures head south.

Sunday 17 December 2023

   Raining when we woke up and it continued all day the only change was the wind picked up. I think we had gusts over 25 mph by afternoon.
   Diane and Lynne went to see a play in Carlisle.  First though it was breakfast at the Greystone for them, I had a yogurt. Ho yum!  Their play was great.  Meantime I was home writing out Christmas cards. The rain finally let up enough for Rudy to enjoy his evening walk. Tacos for dinner and the day was over. 


Back drop for the play.  I would go to the theater to see another one.  For a small community, they really did a pretty good job.


Monday 18 December 2023

   We had a nice breakfast before I headed down to Bow Hunters to get an arrow fixed. On my way home I stopped in to visit with Paul and Betty, swapped deer stories and catch up on family.  Found out Pat was in the Hospital, so I stopped to talk to Mark, a quick stop at the storage unit then back to the Moho.  I was watching an auction that closed tonight so early dinner.

Tuesday 20 December 2023

   I went to pick up auction items today somewhere in Perry County. All I can say is thank goodness for GPS. I think I heard banjoes playing a few times.  Meanwhile back at the Moho Diane ran over to Lynne's to walk Kody a bit then back and finished wrapping gifts. Oh Yea! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ     

Decorated for Christmas

   I guess I will be at the storage unit every day right up till we leave.  Stopped back in at the tree farm to check on Pat.  I don't know what Diane did all day now that she is done wrapping. ๐Ÿ˜ We met Taylor for dinner at Marzoni's. Food was good and we had a wonderful visit with Taylor. A side note, don't get the crab cakes there.
