August 30, 2013

Hi all, time to start back up with the travel blog.  Grammie is on the move again.  After all the hard work to get things together, cleaned, packed and ready to go, she certainly deserves a break.  Believe me, when she gets going, I didn't want to get in her way so I played golf on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Yesterday we left Newport around noon, stopped off to see 2 grandchildren on the way to stay overnight with my sister and brother in law.  As always, everyone is glad to see each other and share news and family happenings.

We covered a little over 300 miles today and are in central  Pennsylvania for the night.  Keep in mind that we started this blog originally for our children and grandchildren to keep an eye on us, and for us to share our travels.   For the kids, we saw license plates from ME, MA, TX, CT, NJ, NH, IL, NY, RI, PA, VA and AZ.  Hey grandkids, you can learn your postal abbreviations.  For you adults, you can try to see who can make the longest word using those letters...and for you Senior citizens, see if you can remember what those letters mean. (Use it or lose it)  A banana split is offered for the longest word.
(For those wishing to make a comment, underneath the blog entry click on comments, enter your comment and to identify yourself, click NAME/URL and enter the appropriate info.  I have already spelled a word so I can try for a banana split.)  You can only use letters in the quantity shown.

Once through the state of CT we had a nice peaceful ride through Pennsylvania and arrived at our modest military accommodations by mid afternoon.  We only occupy half of this building.




For all those who like sunshine, make sure to use sunscreen.  Before we left Thursday, Tom visited the dermatologist and had a piece on his neck excised for the 3rd time. Stitches are getting old.

Gotta love the Bridgestone golf commercials.
