Saturday, May 5,2007

I was beat all day today. I rushed around too much on Friday. Although the food and the show were excellent, I was too tired to enjoy them. I woke up feeling hung over and I only had a couple sips of white wine with the dinner. Pennsylvania is not like New Jersey. New Jersey has no smoking law for restaurants and public places. Even though there were separate smoking areas in the restaurant, I could still smell the smoke and it got into my hair, on my clothes and on my skin.

Dottie went out to WaWa for coffee and a honey bun. She was going to take me to breakfast but I wasn’t up to it. We went for a walk around her new neighborhood and the local high school track, which is adjacent to her Mobile Home Park. She has a lovely double wide. It is very spacious. It has living room, dinning area, eat in kitchen, three bedrooms and two baths. It also has a screened in porch. The community is located on the PA, DE line. One mobile home sits right on the middle of the line. The PA side is more expensive because the taxes are higher there. Dottie was going to her campground in MD so I headed back to my brother, Don’s. Danny and I rested for a while before we all walked to WaWa’s. (There’s one on every corner in this area) He got a sandwich and I got a large coke. I was still feeling headachy. The coke did the trick. We watched a little of a James Bond movie and Don had to cut the grass. He gave me the movie to take home. I was feeling better so Danny and I took off.

We lazed around when we got home. He slept on my lap for most of the afternoon. He is in there sleeping now.

I found out what the commotion was the other morning. It seems the neighbor down the street was arrested for purchasing parts off the internet and assembling machine guns. Hence the State Police. Unbelievable!

Well, I’m going to call it a night.

Hi Karol,

You and Danny Boy better get lots of rest today. So much going on, and even racing around to get ready to go tired you out. A home like Dottie's mobile home might be something for you to think about. They are nice - they make every little nook and cranny some type of storage area. We downsized several years ago and we now live in a very nice mobile home park and we just love it. You have to be very selective when choosing a park. Some are good and some don't have enough rules and regs to nudge folks to take care of their homes. Our park has just enough guidelines so the homes and yards are very well maintained. Things will work out for you when the time is right for you to make a big decision like moving.

Enjoy this beautiful day and get rested up if you can. I know there is always lots to do, but, even if you don't get it all done today, there's always tomorrow. I always have you in my thoughts and prayers. In friendship, Ruth

Sitting in a smoke-filled room is disgusting. Even with no-smoking areas, the smoke creeps in. Between your exhaustion and the smoke, that may be why you felt so bad on Satuday. We have the smoking ban in New York City and I am grateful for it. I remember coming home from restaurants with that smoke smell in my hair and on my clothes, just like you mentioned. Yuk. Not to mention the effects on our bodies.
It's funny, but I never heard of WaWa's until I read about it in your blog. Ted used to write about it, too. We don't have them in New York.
Can't believe that guy on your street was assembling machine guns! Wonder how the police found out about it.
Rest up. Hugs to Danny!
