Today is getting ready to move day. Our stay at the Thousand Trails Campground ends tomorrow, and it's time to get organized to leave. We're off to Mechanicsburg, PA to house and dog sit at our daughter's house. She and her family are off on a Disney Cruise for a week to celebrate Samantha's high school graduation. We are looking forward to the stay because it gets us back into an area where we raised our family (Carlisle, PA). We'll have time to visit friends who we have not seen for quite awhile.
Take a look at the picture. That's the gang that will be taking the cruise - minus Audrey. Yep, the boyfriend and girlfriend are part of the trip.
Our concern for Phara continues. If she does not show signs of improvement this morning, we'll take her to the veterinarian in Annville for a checkup.
Stay tuned for updates from Mechanicsburg. One of the events on the schedule will be a trip to the Penn State to meet our daughter from Pinehurst. Two of her daughters will be attending a gymnastic camp near Penn State. We plan to visit with them at least one day.
Tuesday: Tuesday dawned with much cooler temperatures. Tuesday is Root's Market day so off we went about 7:45 to Manheim and the market. We wanted to get there early to find shady place to park because we had Phara with us. Yes, we bought some fresh meats and produce. Sure wish we had such a market back in NC.
Back at the coach there was work for me to do on the Washington Yacht & Country Club website. The club had its big golf tournament this past weekend and the results and other information needed to be posted on the website. Check out the site at http://www.wyccnc.com/ . WhileI did my thing, Audrey did some house cleaning and worked on her daily crossword puzzle. Later I jumped on the bike and rode to McDonald's in Palmyra and met Audrey for coffee. The ride was tough because of the wind. It seemed to be in my face not matter which way I went. From there it was to Walmart to get some food for Phara - cottage cheese, yogurt and chicken breasts. We are not pleased with her progress in recovering from her intestinal problems.
Dinner -- steak from the grill and fresh vegetables from Root's Market.
Monday: We chilled out most of the day making sure Phara was doing OK. She seemed to be doing better but her intestinal problems have not gone completely away. We continue to try and get her to drink and eat as we worry about dehydration.
I did ride a short ride toward Elizabethtown starting at the campground and ending at the rails/trails trail head in Colebrook. It was mighty hot and humid. The rain that was in the forecast did arrive about 7:30 in the form of a thunderstorm. Later that night (around 1:00 a.m.) another thunder boomer came through and knocked out the power for about 90 minutes.
Sunday: Father's Day was a very nice day as all the girls (3) called to wish the old man a Happy Dad's Day. Most of the day was spent at the coach because of our concern for Phara. She was not herself after the intestinal problems of the night before. She did little but sleep all day. However about 7:00 p.m. she showed signs of feeling better as she ate a full bowl of fresh food and drank some water.
Audrey did boot me out for a bike ride about noon. The ride was over a route I'd ridden before. This time however I was able to see how fast I was riding since the day before I installed the cyclometer from the mountain bike to the road bike. About half way through the ride, another biker went flying by which meant it was time to try and catch him. This was work and I did close the gap between us until he turned away from where I was headed. Memories of road racing returned.
