Good week . . .

Bridge crossing the Monongahela near the Power Plant. It's a beautiful old bridge. They are building a new one on the left of the photo.  I hope they keep the old one too. It has character.

Hatfield's Ferry Power Plant on the Monongahela in Masontown, PA. I was hoping it was a nuclear power plant but it is clean coal powered. Quite a sight. Lots of power!

Long drive Wednesday to Carmichaels, PA for the Brodak Control Line Fly-In. We went in the Elantra for the good mpg's but that meant no planes to fly. It was still a good learning and buying experience! We stayed in Uniontown, PA at a Holiday Inn which was pretty good. Very easy to find food and about a 20 minute ride to the contest site. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state; we drove through 4 tunnels going through the mountains. The vistas are quite awe inspiring. Beautiful country.

Puppies and Dante's Pop has gotten calls from all three of our big Kiddos and we'll be seeing the young Kiddo for dinner tonight; good Father's Day celebration with middle child and family. The cellar did get wet from the rains that fell while we were gone but it's under control. We haven't had a wet basement in years. Grampa mowed the lawn today and I worked in the garden thinning the cucumbers and weeding. We also put cages on the tomatoes. I had to spray some stinky stuff around the garden and the few flowering bushes that are trying to survive the deer! I know she's been nibbling the asparagus! That ticks me off. Hope the smell will do a good job so I won't see any more deer prints in the muddy garden! Man, I think she sunk in up to her knees! Maybe it scared her! Ha.

Will get to see younger sister this week. She had good news from the specialist and perhaps with a new medicine she may be able to go back to using a cane instead of her walker. It really doesn't matter as long as she keeps strong. I like that - strong is good!
