Hi Again,

We spent the week with Mary's sister, Lavern, and her husband, Bob, in the mountains in Northern Pennsylvania. (See photo of our RV parked on their property.) They have a get-away retreat on 14 acres with their own pond right outside their back door. Every night we would burn wood that they gathered up with their truck ATV during the day from the back woods of their property. One night we all went out with their pontoon boat powered by a quiet battery operated motor to have appetizers before dinner on the pontoon.

As you can see by the pictures, their place is serene nature at its finest. Blueberries, apples, raspberries and other fruit grow wild there. Between Jerry and Lavern's cooking, we ate well. It rained, with thunder and lightening, a couple of nights, just enough to get Chanti panicky. Other than that, the weather was perfect and we had a very relaxing time.

Tomorrow we head out again. It is always exciting to take off to new places and experience a different part of this great country that we live in.
