Home again, home again, jiggity jig!!!






We drove home from Peg's house today and brought to a close the wonderful vacation we have been on for 2 weeks.



Now I told you that Peg helped me with my blog page and as you can see I am able to add photos as well as just words. I can check all the other blogs from my page. Pretty nifty.



The picture you see is of all of us as we came out of Luray Caverns. We had just been some 250 feet below the ground level. This is a natural wonder that everyone needs to see It is awsome!



When we left here we drove to the Skyline Drive. There we reached and altitude of around 5000 feet. What a dramatic change.

This picture is of "See no evil, Speak no evil and Hear no evil" Also known as Elanore, Betty & Nancy. The picture was taken at one of the lookout points on the Skyline Drive. The drive is a long and winding road that is just filled with beautiful senic vistas. I know Bill and Peg have driven this route before, but some of the views can take your breath away. Even the 3 evils agreed that it was worth the ride.
I'll blog again real soon to show some of the other wonderful sights we saw during our vacation.
Glad to see Kenny has joined us. What a funny blogger he is.

You know I need help because......

As I said before (even if you didn't read it) We are at Peg's. Last night she was assisting me in adding elements to my blog page. Look at it now and you will see some vital changes. I can now find all my wonderful friend's blogs from my very own page (whoo Hoo). This has not been an easy process for some one who doesn't understand what the hell I am doing.
Today we will be heading home at last. We will nit be traveling for several weeks. Then it's on to Tybee (Whoo hoo).

Still going south

Well here are still going South. We are not home yet, but we are visiting Peg & Steve's house. We left Harisonburgh VA for a nice pleasant drive to Peg's house. then the weather hit. This weather was a little different from our last trip. This time the rain and the fog didn't all hit at once. The rain was rough and the fog was rough, but at least they came at different places along the road.
We were treated to a good visit, although we missed Katie. When we got here Peg was just comming home from dropping Katie off at the airport.
We had a great dinner and then Steve found the Braves on TV, Nancy is happy as a clam at high tide.

Enjoying Kate's company

Here it is, Sunday. We got to Kate's house yesterday and a lovely dinner of Spaghetti & meatballs after a quick trip to mass.
As usual, she is still updating her home. The latest addition is revamping the kitchen. It is lovely.
Everybody is up and about. we are getting ready to go to Pattyanne's for BBQ and meet and greet.
We have been looking at all the blogs and are so happy to be able to kep in touch and know what is happening in the family. Kate is starting her own blog page and hopefully will join us. It will probably help if we all give her our support.
Glad every one got back safe from the cruise.
Later this week (Wednesday) we will be spending an overnight with Peg & Steve. Sorry we won't get to see Katie.
I will blog again later this week.
Love.

High in the mountains

Sorry I have not been blogging for a while, but I have to use the resort's computer and it is not always easy to get to.
We arrived Sunday at this really nice resort in the mountains. Driving the mountain roads is somewhat of a challange, especialy at night. Monday I went to an orientation that is really a sales pitch. I don't hasv time now to explain, but Aunt El went as my wife and her name was Betty.
Tuesday was a great wine tour. 2 wineries and mucho tasting.
Yesterday we were in DC on a tour. We left here at 6:00AM and got back at 10:00 PM. Long day but a good trip. I love DC. We will revisit it. Later we go up to a very high spot called (of all things) lookout point.
Tommorows schedule is Lauray Caverns.
Gotto go for now.
Love

Last blog for a while.

Here it is Thursday night and we are getting ready to leave early in the morning for our vacation in the Shannondoah Valley. We will be in Richmond VA tommorrow night, the at Mike & Julie's on Saturday for Taylors graduation Party. Saturday night we will stay in Annapolis MD then on to the Shannondoah Valley for a week (Sunday to Sunday).
We will go back to Philly to drop off El & Betty. Then we will visit Pattyanne & Steve for a family get together.
We will spend an overnight with my sister RE then head home.
I am still trying to get used to this new blog system. Tom has shown me a neat way to read all of the blogs as they show up, but I can't comment unless I go to the individual blog site. Chris mentioned something about Google reader, but I can't find it, maybe you can refresh me on this feature.
I'm hopeing that Jim will stop over sometime after we get home and help me make a pretty page with all the neat stuff he has on his page. I would like to share some of the oictures from our vacation.
I will try to get on a computer sometime while we are on our trip, but don't count on it. I know I can use Katherine's when we get that far, but that is quite a distance from now.
I've blathered enough for now.
Love.

On the blog again!

Ok! So I'm blogging on this new site. I do need some help though. I don't know how to lonk with others of our family.
Last weekend was quite full. Saturday we went to the Scherer's anniversary celebration. It was a good time and we were happy to see all of the Scherer kids and grandkids there. It has been a long time since we saw some of them.
Sunday we went to the Aurora theater to see "Noises Off". That is one funny darn show. We were joined by Sue and another friend, Louise. Of course we went to "The Sweet Tomato" after the show.
Today Nancey has some appointments for Mamogram and stuff.
Love.
