Nice relaxing time..

This morning started out 

with a nice hearty B&B 

breakfast.

Our hosts, Ken & Kate

served us blueberry waffles,

yogurt with granola, 

sausage, and

terrific breakfast potatoes.

Since the day was a bit rainy,

we decided to take a ride

on the roads

around the property here.

There was some terrific views

of it from across the valley.

We headed toward the Grand Canyon of PA

It's a beautiful view from the rim

This guy was 'inching' his way along the railing.

We drove up to NY to see an RV dealer, 

but they didn't have what we were looking for.

So we headed back down to town.

We stopped at the store and picked

up some cheese & bread, 

and a bottle of wine

We took everything out on the

deck and had a snack.

Our hosts were cutting the

meadow...looks like hard work!

After awhile, it got a bit chilly out, 

so we moved in, to a nice fire

in the fireplace.

There are some beautiful quilts hanging on the walls.

Tomorrow it will be time to head home.

We'll stretch it out as long as we can :-)

Relaxing weekend in Wellsboro

Tonight we are resting up from our stress filled week.

We headed up north, to Wellsboro, PA.

I found us a nice bed & breakfast 

called Falling Stars Farm.

We've been to Wellsboro before,

but always stayed in a campground in cabins.

This time, I wanted true relaxation.

 

The view from the top is magnificent.

 

George had fun talking to

our hosts while sipping coffee.

We went out for a bite to eat at the Steak House..

 

Now it's time to rest..
tomorrow, we'll explore!

*gulp* - another promotion

Am I supposed to be happy?

I was given a new title at work.

I'm now 'President' of

3 Springs Water Co.

That comes with a LOT 

of responsibility,

stress, a raise,

and A LOT OF GRAY HAIR :-)

and..

a bit of guilt..

they still don't know about my impending

...i'm outta here in possibly a year..

to hit the road..

swan song.

"They" don't read the blog

(I hope!)

but I will take my title, 

and run with it

FOR NOW.

It's going to make

our life on the road 

that much sweeter!

We're going away this weekend..

initially to get a break from

prepping the house for sale,

and the stress of both our work lives.

Now we'll throw a little bit

of celebration into it! 

:-)

Father's Day fun

We started the day out

with breakfast at Perkins.

You can't beat their breakfast selections!

Of course, being Sunday,

we also picked up groceries at Walmart.

Then I told George...

you need to pick out a wedding ring!

As you can see by the countdown..

it's getting close :-)

We went to the mall..

to Kay's (our favorite jewelry store!).

This is what he picked out..

 

It's very similar to mine,

he bought me the 'journey' ring

when we got engaged.

It is gorgeous!

After spending more money

at the mall..

I took him to a nice sunny deck

and had a few drinks,

and appetizers..

 

It was a very nice Father's day. We hope all the fathers were blessed!

More work on the house

Today George devoted 

 much of the day

to the bathroom...

...(not what you think!)

 

He put a light/fan combination

in the ceiling...

Then he put a light in the shower (yay!)

He also replaced the

outlet with a GFCI..

Of course, then he had

to rewire the switches,

putting 3 different ones..

one for makeup lights,

one for the fan only, 

and then one for the fan light/shower light.

 All this work wore Milo out!

When the bathroom was finished..

we grilled some dogs, 

and made some yummy 

blender drinks.

We sat outside and

enjoyed the flowers..

the river..

and this guy, 

who has decided to live

under George's trailer..

 The Forty-Fort airport was having a fly-in as well.

Since the airport is right across the river,

we had a great vantage point when they took off, and

flew overhead.

I got a shot of this Navy plane..

 All these things to see from the comfort of the back yard!

Today, Father's Day, we are taking it easy.

I'm taking George out to breakfast, then

we're going to see what we can do to RELAX!

Happy Father's Day!!

Fun with photography

I needed a stress reliever today after work.

I took a glass of wine out on to the front porch.

With camera in hand, 

I decided to take a few pictures!

George!

 

We had some fun too..

with birds.

George has an app on his phone

of bird songs. 

Since there are some cardinals around..

he played the cardinal song.

A cardinal flew right up,

and sat on the phone wire,

making his soft calls.

 

 The neighborhood cats

liked seeing the birds too :-)

 

Making George smile :-)

We're getting closer to that 1 year mark..

1 month, and 1 year to being able

to follow that dream.

I've noticed that George has seemed

a bit stressed out lately.

So this morning, after church, 

and grocery shopping..

I grabbed George

by the hand..

and took him for a drive up

to the casino..

Mohegan Sun.

It's the local harness track, 

slots, and table games as well.

 

We haven't been there for awhile,

because we've been so busy with the 

house & all that.

So we played some slots..

Fun new slot based on the Airplane! movie.

I did so well, I won

enough to buy George dinner at the buffet

at the casino.

They have pretty good food there..

George's favorite place :-)

George is smiling now :-)

Yard sale - well, porch sale

Today was our scheduled yard sale.

Unfortunately, although they predicted

good weather for the weekend, 

I woke up to thundershowers.

Since we had already advertised,

we decided to go to plan B.

Since the stuff was already

stored in the trailer anyway..

we just staged everything in the living 

room, and brought some stuff out

onto the front porch.

That problem was solved ;-)

So now we just sit and wait

for the throngs of people to come.

and wait..

Eventually we had a few people show up.

At the end of the day, we only 

made $91..quite a disappointment!

We did get some advice, though..

go to a flea market with

our stuff..

the Garden Drive In has 

one every Sunday morning.

So..maybe one Sunday, 

we'll load up the truck and go :-)
