I wear the monitor for another week and am still on coumadin until they read the results. I had my blood checked on Tuesday morning and picked up the trailer and parked it in front of the house to finish loading it for an early morning departure.
Trip Log
Yesterday we picked up Annika for her birthday weekend and today we went to Washington. It was her wish to visit the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, especially the gems, the dinosaurs and the bugs.
We are busy getting ready for our trip to Florida, mostly planning and preparation and some staging. We have Annika for her birthday weekend starting tomorrow and we will be going to the Smithsonian on Saturday.
We got a couple of inches of snow the other day but it didn't stick on the driveways or roads. We got a couple of more inches yesterday and it did stick so I'll have to scrape and probably shovel a little.
Monday we went to see "Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy". It started out very confusing but tied together well so we both enjoyed it and then off to "Lasorda's" for 'all you can eat' mussels which were also very good.
This year I turn 65 and was able to buy a 'Senior Lifetime' Pennsylvania fishing license. Since I buy one every year it should be quite a savings. Am thinking about the lifetime hunting license as well.
The kids skied all day yesterday and ended the day in the hot tub, then Jeff and family went tubing and Mike and Lisa made a last few runs at night.
The kids all made it on Thursday night but had to drive through a blizzard at the end, and I don't mean the Dairy Queen type. It has been warm here lately and we hoped for snow but that was a little much although the grandkids were excited to see it on their way up.
Last Friday Alesa took the train downtown with Diane D. and attended a concert at the Kimmel Center. On Tuesday morning we drove to Monroeville through State College and Altoona, visited the world famous Horseshoe Curve and spent the night in Monroeville and even got to visit the mall.
Yesterday we took a day trip with the Goodman's to Winchester, Virginia to tour a continuing care retirement community called Winchester-Canterbury. Bob has taken a 6 week sabbatical from work to investigate their future.
