Our Big Trip: Visiting Cousins Blaine and Tim in Clifton Park, NY and then HOME

Blaine and Tim Kaercher welcomed us to a delicious chicken, mushroom, onion and wine dish Blaine made. Yum! We all love talking with each other and spent a lot of time on their back screen in porch. We played a little of bit cards, Hand and Foot. Their older cat, Peter, was failing and while we were there they decided it was time to have him put down. It was a sad day. Peter is Blaine's baby. They do have another cat, Mercedes. We said our good byes in the morning and drove HOME!
Maria Bebee came over to invite us to join some folks at the golf club for dinner. So we went there and met Maria and Jim Bebee, Marie Burkhart and Scott Hyle and then Jan Roby and Diane Brenner came too. What fun we had catching up. Tired, Norm and I slept in our bed for the first time in 3 months!
On Friday we will take the camper and the dogs to Boston to meet Norm's sister Judy and her children Patty and her husband Jon and their baby Abby, and sister Veronica and brother Staffy. Also Norm's sister Kimm and her husband Kenn for the 4th of July!. We DO have a big family. You have seen some of our family on this trip and we are so happy they are there!
When we come home Sunday, it will have been 14,000 miles for this trip! And exactly 3 months! Whew. We will sleep a while now. Great trip! Now to unload. But rest first.
