Some good news!

Today was another nice day.

We cleaned up Harvey on the inside,
did our grocery shopping,
got the laundry done,
then spent some nice time
outside in the fresh air.


We grilled our favorite meal, 
shish kabob.


We didn't eat them all, 
there were a lot leftover, 
for lunches this week.

George & I also decided it
was time to get away 
for the weekend..
so, next weekend,
we are going to 
Wellesboro, PA
to stay at the 
We stayed there last year
at this time. It's a nice
bed & breakfast up 
on a mountain.

While we are there, we
are going to meet up with
Jill & Steve of
They are workamping at
Tioga-Hammond lake campground,
which is just outside Wellesboro.
I love reading Jill's blog,
and we can't wait to meet them!

Oh yeah, for the good news!

We got our letter from the 
Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority.

The next step is the appraisal to determine
the pre-flood value of the property,
and then the process of the buyout begins!

Though our countdown shows that
we are targeting September 1 to leave,
it may be within a month or so after that date.

Either way, that light at the end of 
the tunnel is blinding!

  8. Ives Run COE campground is our absolute favorite COE campground. Wondering if your friends are working there. Hammond Lake is a lovely area for sure. If they are not working at Ives Run, take a bit of time and check it out!

    Still watching your countdown!

  12. Enjoy your break. If you are delayed a month, you should still be able to get gone before any serious cold weather arrives.
