Traveling into Pennsylvania


Friday, Aug 17, 2012

When we got up this morning we saw that it hadn’t rained last night but it did look like it could rain any minute.   Turned out that we followed the storm; but never really caught it.  The road was wet but we only got a little rain on our windshield.  My car, on the other hand, got filthy, and we had just washed it a day or so ago. 
We had about 160 miles to go to get to our stop for the weekend.  We couldn’t get into the place we are staying for the Little League World’s series until Monday so we needed someplace to stay for the weekend.  We are in Cooksburg, PA at the Deer Meadow campground.  When we got here the place was kinda empty but soon it started filling up with the weekend crowd.  We drove about 15 miles into town to a grocery store.  This place is out in the boonies so there really wasn’t anything closer.  We got  the things we needed and headed back.   As soon as we got back I fixed dinner.  I tried something new.  I boiled some sweet potatoes and for the last few minutes I tossed in some chopped up apples.  I drained most of the water, added a little butter, some brown sugar and a bit of dark Karo syrup.  It was really tasty.  I will have to add this to my regular list of things to make.  I also fixed some pork chops to go with it and some fresh steamed broccoli. 

That was about it for the day.  We relaxed for the evening after Terry and Bill helped our next door neighbor fix his awning on his “new to him” trailer.  Making friends is a good thing. 





I ordered some baby furniture for my son and his wife on Wednesday night.  I got a call from Aimee today that it was delivered today!  One and a half days to get something that I didn't pay extra to have delivered in that time.  The items must have been shipped from somewhere close in California.  The crib, mattress, and dressing table/dresser combo all showed up but the mattress pad I also ordered won't be there until Tuesday!  Who can understand the way these things work.
That is all for today.  Hope you had a good one.
