2008 -11, Branson, MO

We left Niskayuna, NY before Halloween - heading to Branson, MO. This is the "farewell to Ohio" sign - quite impressive!
I always take a photo when we cross the Mississippi River. Here you see the famous St. Louis Arch, taken from our RV as we crossed from Illinois into Missouri.
Last is a photo of the Ozarks, just as we are coming into Branson. Love those hills!

Salisbury, MA. 2 weeks at the Beach!

One of our favorite times was visiting friends in Marblehead, MA. This home was built by her grandfather, back in the 1920's and it retains all of the former charm, plus an updated kitchen and family room. We toured Marblehead and at the town offices is the ORIGINAL painting of "The Spirit of '76" - what a great place to visit!

It's time to get the motorhome rolling and we're off to Salisbury Beach, MA tomorrow! Two weeks at the ocean is always a treat. Maureen & crew will be over to visit us next weekend - the teens still want to play in the sand! More fun ahead!

What would summer be without grandchildren! Here are all 9 of mine on Memorial Day - in our backyard. That's Molly in the back row between her brothers - and she's 5'7".
I am so proud of them!

At Home in Niskayuna, NY

Don is busy tending to the lawn, the vegetable garden and the flower garden. Grand daughter, Molly, has been a great help by painting the front fence and the back deck railings, and has just finished painting the front picture window. Molly has also helped us clean out the main attic and wash the windows and the storm windows. She is 15 and a great worker! We couldn't have got it all done without her.
I've been enjoying my wonderful kitchen by baking and making all kinds of yummy Italian food. I cook mostly Mexican in the winter in the RV. The RV kitchen is very conducive to Eating Out!
