PA visit

I flew out to PA last Sat for my Papaw's funeral. I left Jensen and Jeff here and went with my sister Carrie since it was expensive and Jensen probably wouldn't do well at a funeral. Jeff took off work Mon and Tues to stay with him so they had some good bonding time. I bawled like a baby at the airport leaving my little monster! Despite the sad occasion, it was relaxing to have my dad and his wife Sharon take care of me (and sister Carrie) for 4 whole days . The weather was beautiful, in the low 80's (instead of 105 here) and I really got a chance to catch up with my extended family that I only get to see every 2yrs. It was great speding so much time with my dad and Sharon too. The funeral was sad of course but a lot of the time we were lauging and remembering good times with Papaw.

Here are some pictures from my trip Me with my Grandma

My dad and Sharon are going to medical assisting school so they practiced taking our blood pressure

Every year in Waynesburg PA on July 29th, they celebrate "Rain Day" because 109 out of 132 years since 1874 it has rained on that day. They have a festival type thing downtown and since our flight wasn't until later, we got to check it out. They had craft and food booths along the main street and entertainment. It was sunny and hot though and not a bit of rain that day!

Carrie and I flew back late Tues.night and as usual I was very airsick and I guess my prescription patch didn't really work yuck, I hate throwing up! When I got home though Jeff had the house spotless and he had done all the laundry AND put it away. That was really amazing and I really appreciated it. He and Jensen did all kinds of fun stuff while I gone too.
