Let's begin by saying the weather improved by Thursday, but up until then it was rather overcast and in the upper 40's at night. Ken was able to take long walks on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but I was somewhat restricted.
Monday I was a bit anxious about Tuesday's "lip procedure", so my dear friend, Polly, called and wanted to take me to lunch to divert my attention to something fun. We ate at the Brickerville Restaurant and then I insisted that we go to Home Goods so I could purchase a shower curtain for the guest bath in her new apartment as a housewarming gift. We had a fun time together and she succeeded in keeping me more relaxed and we also found a shower curtain and some towels for her. Upon our return, Ken and I picked up Wilbur from the garage where he got an oil change and returned him to the storage area. While there we got a call from Lanie asking if we could come to her house, as Bob was at the Reading Hospital waiting to be seen after being diagnosed with a leg infection and blood clot. Long story short, we returned home around 9:30 and Bob was released and sent home by 10. He is on blood thinner and had pain, but they say he will be fine!
Tuesday was the procedure for my lip. We arrived at the Dermo Surgery Center at 9:20 but I never went back to the room until 10:30 - such a long wait when anticipating surgery. The worst part was the numbing of my lip. I was back in the waiting room within 15 minutes, relaxed for about an hour, and then a bit more cutting was needed. Another 20 minute wait, but then it was time for the stitching. Not my favorite part either, but all in all, it was no bad. Ken was such a trooper waiting all that time and we were able to leave around 1:45. I was told to take it easy for 48 hours and that is what I did. Both of us took naps when we returned, and then he went to Celebrate Recovery and I crocheted and watched TV. Ken was back home by 9:15 and I stayed up to watch the finale of New Amsterdam - what a show! Can't believe I will have to wait until September to see what happens! I was amazed that I honestly had no pain from the procedure, but it was a bit awkward for drinking, so a milkshake was my dinner.
Wednesday I took it easy in the morning just doing some simple chores around the apartment. Ken spent time on the computer and then walking. After lunch (soup), I was able to take a shower and supposed to remove the bandages. Ken helped me with that and we were surprised at how good my lip looked and still no pain. He left to check-out a men's facility in Lebanon where he may be able to help and upon his return, the 2 of us went to Wilbur's storage area. Lloyd and Deb met us with their truck and loaded about 1/2 of our items that they will take to Florida for us. They are leaving on Sunday and will be down there at the time we settle on our Condo. We are so thankful they could take so much of our "stuff"! The evening was a quiet one! I did talk to Lanie and Bob still has pain but does not have to see the hematologist until the end of June.
Thursday Ken had breakfast with Gary and then took a walk when he returned. I did some spot cleaning and got ready for the day. After lunch we drove to Masonic Village and played Pinochle with mom and dad. It was a fun afternoon, but the women only won 1 out of 4. Mom and I have not been doing very well lately! We were back home by 5, ate some leftovers and then Dan and Jackie arrived around 6:45. We chatted for a long time and covered so many subjects. We did play one game of Pinochle which the women won - hallelujah! We were in bed around 10:15.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday - Mostly Cloudy and Cool!
Ken and I planned to take a walk Friday morning but once again, it decided to rain. So, Ken spent most of his time on the computer and phone doing some additional details for our closing in Florida. All is progressing nicely but there are so many details and he has done a great job of staying "on top" of everything. I finished cleaning the apartment.
After lunch we drove to Masonic Village to spend the afternoon playing Pinochle with mom and dad. We had a fun afternoon, but certainly not a good day for the ladies. We lost all four games - for some reason we just got lousy cards!
We left there around 4:30 and by then it had warmed up abit and the sun was shining off and on. So, we decided to walk downtown for 2nd Friday when most of the shops are open and there are people playing music throughout town. We were surprised that it was not very crowded. We were back home by 7:15 and spent the rest of the evening relaxing. It was a good day.
Saturday was another rather cool and mostly cloudy day - we definitely need some sunshine. We drove to Ephrata to pick-up our Civic which they just finished replacing all the windows from the metal dust that had covered it while we were in Florida. On the way, we stopped at Gus's for a delicious breakfast. After getting the car we picked up some fruit at a roadside stand.
Upon our return Ken went to get flowers for the girls for Mother's Day (and for me!) and then to talk with the couple who are seriously considering buying Wilbur. He needed some advice from Ken on whether Wilbur could fit in his driveway and be turned around safely - no problem. I decided to bake oat bran muffins which is now a favorite of my mother as well as us!
After a light lunch I did some crocheting and playing on my tablet before leaving at 2:00 to go to a birthday party for one of Ken's buddies from CR. We left there around 3:45 and by 4:30 Lanie and the girls were here to visit and celebrate Mother's Day. By then it was cloudy again and "spritzing", so we drove to the park and the girls played for just a short time before the drops "got bigger"! Then it was off to the local pizza shop for dinner. (Ken and I were "stuffed" from the birthday party, so only one teeny piece for each of us!) We picked up some ice cream treats and then back to the apartment to play a new game for the girls and Lanie - Mexican Train Dominoes! The girls learned quickly and Katelyn was the winner after 6 rounds. Normally Samantha is not a game player but she had a good time - Yes!
They left by 8:30 and after watching a little TV, Ken and I headed to bed. What a nice day!
Today, Sunday, we were at LCBC by 8:30 to chat with friends. It was raining so hard when we arrived and continued most of the morning. We sat with Jamie, Dane, Sue and Dan, and when the service was over, the church had cupcakes for all mothers and a place where you could take mother/children photos. How nice!
Jamie and Dane treated all of us to a Mother's Day Brunch at Ledgerock Golf Club and it was positively delicious. They had an omelette station, good baked items, plus salad, fish, chicken, green beans and rice. They also had macaroons, an ice cream bar and free mimosas for all the mothers. It was so great of Jamie and Dane to treat us to lunch and all spend time together. We are truly blessed.
Ken and I stopped at Wilbur's storage area and he drove Wilbur to Lititz with me following in the CRV to Rohrer's Quarry where the motorhome will be serviced tomorrow. I spent most of the afternoon reading, playing on my tablet and crocheting. Ken read and rested. He did a post on Facebook and answered e-mails while I x-stitched and did some messaging. Also talked to my mother to wish her a Happy Mother's Day!
We were in bed by 9:30. It certainly was a miserable weather day with lots of rain and strong wind. Most of this upcoming week is forecast to be cloudy, so I am sure when the sun eventually comes out we will have to be reminded of "what it is"!

This Week - Rather Dreary!
We have been very busy this week so I am going to give a brief summary of what we have been doing.
Monday we picked up Wilbur and brought him home so we could get ready for our "camping trip" to Hershey. Ken had an 11:00 appt. with Dane, our son-in-law and financial advisor and I picked up Jackie and we met the ladies card club group for our end of the card playing season luncheon at Maize Cantina. What a fun time was had by all. Ken went from his appointment to have lunch with Kevin. We took a 2 mile walk around Lititz and then spent the evening relaxing.
Tuesday Ken had an early breakfast with one of his CR buddies and I spent that time cleaning the apartment. We did go for another walk around town and after lunch loaded somethings (not much) into our car for the trip to Hershey Preserve. I got a surprise call from the Dermo Surgical Center in Lancaster - they had a cancellation and were able to see me at 3 for a consultation. I was able to print out all the paperwork and fill it out before leaving for the appt. I was not happy with what they told me for this squamous cell is more advanced than my 1st one and into the second layer of my lip. I will definitely have some stitches. Not looking forward to this procedure. Praying for peace and thankful I could be seen sooner. They called back a bit later and I will have the procedure next Tuesday so it can be done before we go to Florida - hallelujah! Ken and I left at 5:45 to have dinner at Celebrate Recovery and it was Ken's night to give his testimony. His siblings all came and 2 of their spouses as well as my sister and her husband, 2 of my Curvette friends (Deb and Polly), and many of his special CR buddies. He did a great job and I know his story will be helpful to many others going through addiction. Hopefully Ken will now get some much needed sleep! Home by 9:30 and off to bed!
Wednesday was a mostly cloudy, damp day, but a good one for emptying out Wilbur. I followed Ken to Hershey and we arrived there around 10. We immediately got to work. Ken started unloading all of the outside bins while I worked on drawers and cupboards, boxing things for Florida as we worked. Cindy and John helped us from 1:45 till 5:15 and they did an awesome job. Again, Ken and John worked outside and Cindy and I packed up everything indoors. We also wiped out all the cupboards, drawers, and outside bins. We placed all the packed boxes and storage bins in the basement of Wilbur and will load those items in the CRV when we head to Florida in about 3 weeks. (I believe we have quite a bit more than we can fit in the back.) We all went to Quentin Tavern for dinner and were able to eat outdoors. We so appreciated their help today. Ken and I headed back to the CG and spent a lot of the evening reminiscing about all our wonderful times in Wilbur. Both of us shed some tears during that discussion. We are sad in some ways but so excited about the next chapter of our life. During the day we placed items for sale in front of our campsite and by the time we left Hershey everything was sold except the compressor - what a blessing!!!!
Today, Thursday, Ken and I spent the morning vacuuming Wilbur and then while Ken dumped the tanks and backwashed, I cleaned the bathroom and washed the floors. Earlier we had taken down all of our framed large pictures and there were no marks left on the walls - hallelujah! We left the CG by 11:30 and I followed Ken to the storage area in Ephrata. After lunch at Subway we were back home, unloaded the car, and found a place for everything we had brought home. Ken read and rested and I worked on this blog while doing all the bedding from Wilbur. We had a relaxing evening (it was needed!) and went to bed around 9:30. It has been a long several days!

Saturday and Sunday - Some Rain and Very Little Sun!
Saturday Ken and I were up early and left by 9 to go to the Brandywine area to watch Katelyn's soccer game. Her daddy is her coach and while watching the game, you can definitely tell that Bob is enjoying his roll. It was drizzling when we arrived, but the rain stopped about 15 minutes into the game. Katelyn had pulled a muscle in her leg at practice on Tuesday and it was still bothering her if she ran. So she spent most of the game playing goalie. Her team was definitely the dominant one, so Katelyn saw very little action.
After the game, all of us went to September Farms for lunch. What a great place! They make their own cheeses, ice cream, baked goods, etc. and all of it is so tasty! We said our good-byes after eating and then Ken and I stopped at the Craft and Flower Warehouse where I purchased a few inexpensive items for my cardmaking!
We got to Wilbur at 1:30 and did some clean-up and opened up the slides, blinds, etc. and at 2 a couple came to check him out. They are retiring and hoping to go full-time, but they are rather new to the whole RVing experience. We were able to answer so many of their questions and they appreciated all the helpful information. It was hard to tell how strong an interest they might have in Wilbur, but it could be a consideration.
Ken and I were back home by 3 and he decided to go for a walk - I was too lazy! So, I did some reading and clean-up. At 5:45, we drove to Mojo's Asian Restaurant right outside of Lititz and met 9 other folks from LCBC (church). Frank and Barb from Florida were here for a few days and they got the group together. Ken and I are just learning to know some of these folks and we had a great evening. We had never eaten at this restaurant (most of the group had been there before) and we found the food delicious and the service excellent. We really appreciated being included in this fun time!
We were home by 9:30 (we spent a lot of time chatting, even in the parking lot) and went right to bed.
Today, Sunday, was another dreary, rainy day. Ken had another very restless night (I think he is nervous about giving his testimony on Tuesday night) but did go back to sleep in the LR. We left for church at 8:15 so we would have time to have coffee before the service with friends. Frank and Barb were at church this morning too, so we got to visit again.
We sat with Jamie and Dane and after the fantastic service, got to see Bria and Cali. We were supposed to go to their hockey game this afternoon, but it got cancelled due to the weather. Ken and I went with Lloyd, Deb, Frank, and Barb for breakfast and never left the restaurant till 1:00.
Back home and we decided to take about a 2 mile walk. We had a small window of no showers, so we took advantage of the time. I worked on this blog and downloaded photos while Ken read and rested. We watched some TV and Ken read while I crocheted. We were in bed by 10.

Friday - Off and On Sunny Day!
Ken and I were both up at 5:30 and by 6:30 I was driving to Ephrata to have breakfast with my Curvette ladies. Marcia brought us up to date on her father who is in the hospital after falling early Monday morning. He has no major injuries, but will now be moved to the nursing care area of Ephrata Manor. Her father and the family all agree that this is the right move!
Following breakfast, I met Ken at the storage area for Wilbur so we could get some larger items out of the "basement" and I went through some things in the bathroom and bedroom to bring home or pack for Florida. We stopped at Martins to drop off our windscreen and our large outdoor rug and then at Jamie's to give them our folding ladder (no need for any of these items!). We were back home around 10:30 and drove to Costco for a few things that we needed. While there we had a nice visit with Neil and Nancy Savage, fellow campers who are full-timers. So good to see them and chat about what is going on in our lives.
When we got home, Ken decided to read and then go for a long walk. For some reason, I felt extremely tired, so after doing my devotions I took a rather long nap. We made pizza and salads for dinner and then left at 6:15 to got to Lancaster Church of the Brethren for a concert by their contemporary music director to honor the songs of Keith Green, one of Ken's favorite Christian singers in the 70's. The gentleman who played his guitar and sang was amazing and the offering taken was for a mission trip at the church. They collected about $2,500. Dave and Jean Hosler were there (Ken's 2nd cousin) and we had the opportunity to talk with them during intermission and after the concert.
We were home by 9:30 and it started to "pour" almost as soon as we got in the door.

Thursday - Partly Sunny and in the Low 80's!
Ken was up before me and had completed all his reading before I rose near 7. We watched the news and I did my stretches. He left at 7:45 to meet his friend, Gary, for breakfast and then did a few errands including checking out the baby owl that is in Ephrata. He was able to get a few good photos -
I spent the time doing a load of wash, having breakfast and styling my new hairdo which went well. Ken was back home around 10 and did more reading. I worked on this blog and downloaded photos.
After a light lunch, we drove to Masonic Homes to spend the afternoon playing Pinochle with Mom and Dad but stopping 1st for drinks for everyone. What a fun afternoon and they always let us know how much they appreciate playing cards with us.
We left there at 4:15 and drove directly to Lanie and Bob's for a delicious dinner. After dinner we all went to see Samantha's music concert which was just 3rd and 4th grade, but visiting the library 1st to see the girls artwork.
It was a great program and well done! Samantha had a small speaking part and jumped rope during on of the songs.
Ken and I headed back home as soon as it was over arriving in Lititz at 9:15. It was off to bed for some reading before calling it a day.

| Why do you folks keep showing up daily to get photos? It is getting rather "old"!!! |

Tuesday - Beautiful, Sunny Mild Day!
It was a bit chilly (upper 30''s) when we 1st went outside, but got to the low 70's as the day progressed. Ken left at 8:30 to have breakfast with his sister's son-in-law. I spent time writing more cards/notes to friends and family and then left at 9:30 to have my haircut at Jamie's. I decided it was time for a change, so last night I had found some "pixie like styles" on Pinterest that I liked and Jamie thought it was a good idea. I can really get in a "rut" with my hair, maybe anything that requires change! (I'm just saying!)
Ken got there at 10:45 and it was his time for a haircut! He only had it cut 2X this year, so it was very necessary and he looks great if I do say so myself. I am happy with my new "do" also and look forward to trying to style it tomorrow morning. Jamie always makes it look so easy!
When I was ready to leave Jamie's we got a phone call from a local gentleman who was standing in front of Wilbur and had an interest in seeing the inside in the near future. I told him we were in Ephrata and could be there in about 10 minutes, so I headed out to meet him while Jamie was finishing Ken's haircut. Ken joined us as did Lee's wife. They live in Lititz too, have a Class C and have been looking for a Sightseer 33C - bingo, we can make their dreams come true! We spent a lot of time with them and they seemed interested. We all left there around 1:30 and they said they would need to do some talking and be back in touch with us. We can only hope!
Home for a late lunch and I finished the wash I had started before going to Jamie's. We both did some reading and then went for a nice walk. I went about 2 miles which is the most I have done for quite awhile. Ken wanted to get additional steps, so I came home without him.
He left at 6 to go to Celebrate Recovery and I worked on this block, made dinner for myself, and then watched the news. Spent the evening crocheting and watching The Voice. Also had an hour hone call with Noela to "catch her up" on what is happening with the Condo. We had a great time chatting!
Ken was home by 9 and after talking about his evening, he went to bed at 10. I stayed up to watch New Amsterdam, heading to bed at 11. What a nice day!
Today, Wednesday, was an extremely relaxing day for Ken and I. We really had no obligations or plans for the day, except for a 3:00 coffee meeting with one of Ken's buddies from CR. So, after breakfast, we went for about a 2 mile walk around Lititz. It was a very nice morning for a stroll.
I talked with Lanie and Jamie throughout the day and did some cardmaking. I also had my 1st chance to style my new haircut and it went fairly well. I think I am really going to like it but I need a few more times of "styling" to be sure!
Ken was gone from 3 to 4:30 and I kept busy at my craft desk. We played 2 rounds of Hand and Foot before dinner, and then made salads and Ken grilled a pork chop for me and salmon for himself. We watched the news and of course, Jeopardy! That contestant is simply amazing and knows so much about so many different things! I spent the evening crocheting while Ken caught up on Facebook and had a long conversation with his brother, Paul.
We were in bed by 9:45 after a very relaxing day!
Had to share this photo of a bleeding heart which I find an amazing creation. It certainly looks just like its name -
Ken got there at 10:45 and it was his time for a haircut! He only had it cut 2X this year, so it was very necessary and he looks great if I do say so myself. I am happy with my new "do" also and look forward to trying to style it tomorrow morning. Jamie always makes it look so easy!
When I was ready to leave Jamie's we got a phone call from a local gentleman who was standing in front of Wilbur and had an interest in seeing the inside in the near future. I told him we were in Ephrata and could be there in about 10 minutes, so I headed out to meet him while Jamie was finishing Ken's haircut. Ken joined us as did Lee's wife. They live in Lititz too, have a Class C and have been looking for a Sightseer 33C - bingo, we can make their dreams come true! We spent a lot of time with them and they seemed interested. We all left there around 1:30 and they said they would need to do some talking and be back in touch with us. We can only hope!
