This is Marion's new house!

This is Marion!

This is Dal's 1938 John Deere

This is another of Dal's Deeres(?) This sucker is running like a clock, as we stand on it.

‘You have a Friend in Pennsylvania’, I am sure you have read that on a lot of Pennsylvania auto tags. I really loved to read that, because millions of folks do have a friend in PA. We have several good friends and other acquaintances in or from PA. WE stopped by the first couple on the list Dal & Marion. Now no one calls him Dallas, it is Robert. Anyway we were in the USMC together and were married about the same time. Both couples have all been married over 52 years now. This was sort of a treat, seeing them twice in one year. Marion does not get older, but Dal is looking OLD! (sorta like me).
We enjoyed seeing them and their new location. They have built back off the road and have a nice place. Dallas has a huge garage for some of his STUFF. The house is a little smaller than they had and Marion doesn’t have room for her STUFF so some of it is in DALLAS’s Garage building. My problem is I do not understand what is said and cannot keep up with a conversation. Everyone is patient, but it still keeps me on edge. I think I interrupt when someone is talking and I don’t know it. I believe we will suspend visits until I can get my hearing working better.
They have 12 acres now with trails cut thru the bushes and woods. Great walking area. WE walked a little of it and enjoyed the outside. They are wonderful folk.
Oh, BTW we did find the part for the hot water heater and it is installed. Looks like that was not too bad. Still haven’t fixed the awning, I guess we will hold off on that for awhile. (Just heard from Shirl, wondering where to send the check, to reapir the awning, She started a collection at Hardees with $2000, to help out! LOL)(It is geat to have a rich sister with rich friends)

We are going to just sit back and enjoy the outdoors here in Southern Pennsylvania. Do you like apples? They must grow enough apples to feed the world here in this county; we drove thru the apple country today. We forgot to take pictures, just enjoying the scenery.
Take care and thanks for coming by the log,

PS:
When you get down think about this:

***** Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

***** Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

***** Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know and you'll both be happy.
***** If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

*_Lord, keep Your arm around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth _*
