Memorial Day - 2020

HAPPY   MEMORIAL   DAY!!!

THANK YOU to all the brave men and women who served and died for our country!

Dreary and gloomy holiday which will certainly put a damper on outdoor activities!   Mark made pancakes and sausage and worked inside Flo doing his organizing.

We've been reading recently about the increase in RV/camper sales as folks are wanting to vacation and thru this method of travel, it would be considered much safer.    We nomads have a plan for the summer.    Since we can't go boating (due to very late opening of the Erie Canal in New York). Catrina will stay in storage and we plan to fulfil a bucket list item I've had a long time.....take Flo and head to the Pacific Northwest.    We plan to start in Vancouver and come on down the coast having our home and all the amenities with us.

The weather has sure put a damper on our hiking.    After so many awesome hikes on the great trails, now much rain is in forecast for rest of the week!     Arghhhh

We were very fortunate that we had no significant "feel icky" moments after our 2nd shingles shot - just a day or so of sore arms.    Others have not fared so well.   However, my shoulder is another story.    Still hurting after over a week of drug and exercises.   The weather isn't helping as any barometric pressure change always affects the joints!

Rain was in the forecast today but didn't happen, just dreary and low 70's.    We did a 2 mile walk on the road late morning.

I finished Season 8 of "Call the Midwife" and now waiting for the just finished Season 9 to be on Netflix (no idea when that will be).

What a wonderful series and very thankful to my friend, Margaret for telling me about it.    I sure will miss watching these episodes day after day!

So, a beautiful evening after a gloomy day.    We had pulled pork nachos for supper and then sat outside on the porch with Michael, Philip and families and Ryan.
