Sun. 7/18-Mon 7/26 -Niagara NY to Vt & NH
More than a week has gone by and there's been no blogging from this source.. 1. Had no Internet connection. 2. We were visiting my mother, sister, Marj and hubby, Jim. Then it was decided that we'd get Mother's house cleaned out-sort through saleable items and get ready for a yard sale for Sat. 7/24 . Karen and the grandsons assisted -the guys cleaned out the attic and the cellar while I cleaned out 6 closets, the entire kitchen and 2 bedrooms, and Karen assisted with pricing all the stuff we figured might go in a yard sale. In the middle of the week we drove to NH for a break and stayed a couple of nights in the Crow's Nest CG in Newport. Drove back to VT (55 miles) on Fri. where we stayed in our camper in Mother's driveway. The sale went on Sat. with no advertising except signs out beside the road and we were relatively busy. At the end of the day a customer gave us her card and told us that if we had things which we wanted to dispose of that she'd come with a truck and haul away whatever we couldn't sell. She would then include our items in a large yard sale next month which would benefit a children's organization. So we packed the remains in boxes and my sister will call this lady to come collect the boxes. I spent yesterday cleaning Mother's house so it could be shown for sale as soon as practicable. Hank spent the day dealing with leftovers in the garage and repairing two garage door openers at my sister's-two totally different problems. We spent evenings with family of one sort of another for the past week. Tonight it is just the two of us back at the Crow's Nest Campground in Newport, NH where we'll camp until we leave NH for parts south. (Though we started this journey more than 6 weeks ago with no real plan, we've agreed on a plan for the remainder of the travels...More on that to come...) We'll be visiting Karen and family and old friends this week-having dinner with some of them at favorite haunts, etc. Apologies that this has been rather hum-drum, but can't make everything exciting! Not even any photos to demonstrate our week's work. Will try to do better with the next post...
