Day Fifty-four

Not Much Adventure Lately

We are ensconced at Kathy’s mom’s house, complete with Cable. We must have been pretty excited the day it was installed as there was an earthquake and we didn’t feel the ground shake. The epicenter was just outside Ottawa, ON and was felt as far south as Rhode Island and as far west as Michigan. One of the cable people asked us, “Did you feel the quake?” All we could say was, “what earthquake?”

The house is slowly emptying out as different family members select items and take them away. Eventually, we will have to relocate back to the RV as there will no longer be furniture enough in the house for us to be comfortable. We are uncertain as to where we will park when this becomes necessary. The local campground doesn’t have sewer hook-up though it is in a nice setting. We may park in Dave & Jan’s back yard as they have 30 amp electrical service but this location is a little further from Brayden than Kathy would like.

Danny and Kim delivered Brayden Daniel Geraci on June 25th. He was 22 inches long and weighed 9lbs and 10ozs. Grammy (Kathy) is especially happy as this is her first grandchild in Rochester. She enjoys dropping by to visit where much cooing and rocking is the order of the day. She is also eager to offer her babysitting services.

Other than activities around then house we have done little. A few visits with family and a walk in one of the local parks. The parks are lovely here with plenty of open spaces, yet with beautiful trees. I have wanted to get out with my camera but the opportunity has presented itself. We’re not sure about what we will be doing on the 4th as no one has committed to any plan yet. I will probably play golf with Danny even though it is predicted to be hot (record highs, they say). There is a concert (Rochester Philharmonic) downtown that evening and we might brave the crowds and give it a go.

Larry has been looking after the house back home, thankfully. He called late last week to tell me the AC was out. The culprit was a $1100 blower motor. It is covered by warranty so our share will be the labor costs only. It sure is nice to have a friend who will check up on things, even staying overnight occasionally. Of course, the hot tub we left running makes a pretty good perk after an afternoon on the golf course, hey Larry.

Today’s plan has yet to coalesce so we will free-form it, as we often do. Spontaneity is a great quality and we so enjoy it. Often, when we do make plans, something happens to foil those best laid but when we free-form it we are seldom disappointed.
