Trip Log

October 8, 2010

We pick up Mike's girls this evening for a weekend of work and projects, Nana has it all planned.  All that I know for sure is that I will do whatever I am called on to do as long as it does not interfere with watching the Phillies.

Jeff's kids came over on Saturday afternoon but Mike's kids were busy for the weekend.  The plan was to let the kids earn some spending money by helping clean out our garage.  Bailey worked like a champ, helping Nana pull everything out of the garage, cleaning and puting everything back.  Bridget

Last Sunday we were not able to power up our laptop so we started up our old desktop to maintain an internet connection.

Went golfing with my brother Bob at Crab Apple Ridge on Labor Day afternoon.  On Tuesday WICU news was here filming which I assume was for the upcoming tall ships.  The large field of tall grass between the campground and the south pier has been mowed and the area is looking pretty spiffy for the

Pictures are back and I am experimenting.  Today begins our last week in Erie for this summer.  It has been an outstanding time so it will be a bittersweet departure.  Friday night we went to visit Bob and Cathy and waded through the Prep/McDowell football traffic.  The game was suspended in the
