Today is another hot, rainy day but it hasn't interfered with plans. We made bamboo wind chimes from bamboo stalks brought from Uncle Craig & Janet's and wove little bamboo mats from the scraps. We planned the final dinner (filet mignon on the grill and corn on the cob) and the closing cere

After breakfast we watched "Ratatouille" and planned the day. At noon we went to the theater to see "G-Force" in 3-D with glasses and all. It was very cool and a good movie too. After some lunch we all went to the library and checked out some books and then home to spend some time reading. Th

This morning we all walked over to the diner for waffles and "dippy" eggs. They then spent some time covering their journals and eating the next 1/4 of their chocolate bar while we waited for the pool to open. After a few hours at the pool they came home and made a dinner of hot dogs, hamburger

We parked the trailer in the Erie port authority lot, loaded the truck and drove home on Friday. We wanted to get a picture of us collapsed at home after our arrival but neither of us had the energy. We have since recouped some energy, visited Jeff and family for his 36th birthday, planned some

We are headed home tomorrow. We volunteered to be camp hosts at Lampe for a month in September to early October. We will be storing the trailer here until we come back rather than dragging it back and forth across the state. On Monday my sister Ava visited before a medical procedure so I picke
