A thunderstorm woke me up around 4am. Danny was running around the house looking for a place to hide. I picked him up and put him next to me with the covers pulled up over him except for his head. He seemed to calm down and we fell back to sleep. It was still raining when I woke up at 6am. I decided it was a good day for my sewing projects. I sorted the clothes to be sewn into groups according to color. I got most of the sewing done except for things I need to buy to complete some of the projects. The corduroy pants need a new zipper and I need new elastic for some pants.

I finished my ironing. I have several pair of shorts that needed ironing and I added a few more when I got done sewing them. Some items need to be sewn by hand. My machine does not handle thin fabric very well. It goes down the hole and gets caught.

I got a half inch of rain in the rain gage. The grass is greening up and the flowers are looking better.

I made arrangements for Danny to go to Erica's for both of my trips. I looked on the internet for airplane tickets but have not decided on what to do. If we fly out of Philly it is much more expensive than Atlantic City or Baltimore. The problem is, the flights from AC go to Chicago and then back to Detroit. There is a baggage charge. There is one direct flight that leaves at 6am. We would have to be at the airport at 4am and leave Vineland at 3am. I have to get up at 2am. From Baltimore, the flight goes to Atlanta before going to Detroit. This make an hour flight take 4 1/2 hours. I will have to do some more research.

I talked to my friend, Diane this morning. She moved from Vineland to North Carolina at the beginning of May. Her house sat on the market for a long time. They made plans to move out and leave the house vacant. Someone bought their house on April 30th. They really lucked out but have to sell it at a low price. It is a real bummer.

How about a flight into Grand Rapids or Lansing instead of Detroit? Check it out. The last time we flew out to NJ we flew from Detroit to Balitmore on Southwest. Just a few suggestions. It is a 2 hour drive or more to lake
Odessa from Detroit. A half hour from Lansing or
Grand Rapids. Good Luck.
