BACK HOME AGAIN!

Hi All!

Our last update came to you from KY. We didn't drop off the end of the world, get trapped in a cavern, or fall into a canyon.

We traveled from KY to Pittsburgh to spend a day touring the downtown area. It was amazing to view pictures of 'the old days'. The pictures showed buildings that were black, day time pictures looked as though they were taken at midnight, and streets appeared to be in a heavy, dark fog. All that has changed for the better. The air is clear and the views of the city from the tops of hills is spectacular. And there are many hills, tunnels and bridges mixed with the three rivers of Pittsburgh to form the “Golden Triangle”. Another one of those places you don't expect to find anything special, but get pleasantly surprised.

Leaving Pittsburgh, we visited the Pocono's! Not be be missed! Well, OK we could have survived the trip without a visit to the Pocono's! George did have a little excitement while there! No, no heart shaped bed, no heart shaped hot tub, no heart attack, just another night of 'no nothing'! Except for an equipment malfunction! The computer got a bright white flash on the screen and then 'locked up'. I couldn't do anything with the system. It wouldn't re-boot, it couldn't be powered off, it just sat there with a blank screen! My 4:00am wake up gave me the opportunity to 'play' with the system. The battery was dead, so I powered the system from the power cord. All appeared to be good, so a quick backup of the hard drive was taken. All my files are safe, but the computer is still acting flaky and will require more attention!

We visited Nancy's family in NY and CT Saturday and returned home late Sunday. Now, it is back to the tasks of resetting clocks, grocery shopping, checking through seven week's worth of mail. Thanks to Gail's pre-sorting we only have a box full of mail. I've been looking at the leaves in the back yard, but I just can't bring myself back to reality to rake them.

All said, “IT WAS A GREAT TRIP AND EXPERIENCE!!!”

Now begins the task of compiling all the statistics! Drop one of us a note if you're interested in the details or just wait until we see you in person. We will be the ones pushing a shopping cart from the local grocery store with all the pictures and memorabilia we acquired!

And for our final statements: 
For us - 'What's next??' 
For you – 'You have to do it!!'

Thanx for following along. 
Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

George & Nancy
