Relaxing in New Jersey

We rolled into our NJ Days Inn around 4:30. We decided to rest up for our all day/evening adventure tomorrow. We ate supper on the 12th floor, window view of a Penske fleet yard, oriental rug salesman and a small swamp. After our "fine dining experience", we took a walk along a four lane highway I would've only done with my Vietnam Veteran husband who looked for trip wires and snipers along the way all for a good stretch of the legs and the Dunkin' Donut shop we knew we had seen. Yes, the GPS was right, only four blocks away. The icing on the cake was we got to see a double rainbow as we left on our recon mission. By the way, David wants you all to know the tip of the day. When using a bathroom facility with a bidet, make sure the knob is completely turned to off before you flush! Good night.

Dinner & a Movie

We had lunch at the service plaza before Akron and as we were leaving, Lynne Christman jumped up and said hi! Small world. On we went to a nice Holiday Inn Express in Clearfield, PA. We ventured downtown and ate at MOENAS Italian restaurant. Great old Italy atmosphere. Then we took a step back in time to the Ritz theatre. The bright lights on the old marquee with old wooden armed cushioned seats. There was even a fireplace along the back wall. Only cost us $10.00 total to get in!

Our 39th wedding anniversary!

On a beautiful, cool, sunshiny morning, we are off on our latest adventure, New York City! Today is our 39th wedding anniversary. It rained profusely on our wedding day. My Grandmother told me, "Blessed is the bride it rains on". I'm not saying we haven't had our rainy days, but I truly feel Grandma was right. God has blessed us with our beautiful daughter, Jennifer and our handsome son, Zachary ("What did you name him that for?"). Then they found Ryan and Amanda to share their lives with and now Ella, Meg & Henry Throne and Gibson & Maisie Hill are the light of our lives. Many friends in our lives have become family to us as we have lived away from our roots. Then to top it off, the Christian heritage, generation deep that we were born in. Shame on us if we didn't turn out living for Jesus. He is our reason for living and we give Him all the praise for the blessings He has bestowed upon us. May He find us faithful.
