We're finally home again! Can I tell you how grateful we are?! As many of you may already know, Haiti has had a lot happen since we've been there. Now the people are battling cholera amongst all the other battles they must contend with on a daily basis.
We returned from Haiti on October 13th & we did the Batsto Country Living Show on the 17th, nice day, but not a good show for me. That's ok though, not every show is "my" show. We left the following day for Monroe, Virginia, (near Lynchburg) to collect my dog, Ashley, & debriefed for several days in the great care of Sue & John. Sue is an awesome cook! She made fresh bread for us on a daily basis, I had honey for my tea from her bees, & most everything there is all organic. We walked around Lynchburg one day, went to the apple orchids, hiked through the mountains every day, had a bonfire outside one evening & generally just relaxed. It was nice to just "be".
John has recently updated his phone to a Droid & it's amazing! We played with it throughout our stay, but what I loved the most about it was viewing the solar system above me & below! Very cool times we live in!
We came home late Thursday evening & left for the Pocono's on Friday, taking along with us our grandsons, Mason & Mark, & son, Steven & of course, Ashley.
Saturday we went to the little town of Jim Thorpe, not far from the house, & took the kids on their fall foliage train ride. The kids loved it! We have taken Mason several times, but this was Mark's 1st time. We then returned home, picked up Ashley, & took the boys hiking at Mudd Run. Quite the little hikers these boys have turned out to be! I was really impressed! There wasn't any whining!
Sunday, after cleaning up the house, we took the boys to the old train tunnel at Leigh Gorge State Park & then onto another hike. They couldn't get enough of hiking! It makes me so proud!! It was very different hiking at the park though. We haven't hiked there in years. Although it's a nice hike, there were lots of other people & the trail was very busy. There were also a lot of dogs so Ashley had to be kept on a leash. Something she's not used to when she's hiking. We usually hike like we camp....away from everyone & everything! Just free to be!
We arrived back home last night. I'm sick, fighting a nasty cold, flu or something, but this too shall pass. It's good to be here. The end of the week, I'll be in New York at the Photo Plus Photographers Convention at the Javits Center & then back to Virginia to take care of Sue & John's farm while they enjoy each others company in Greece for a couple of weeks.
Till next time, take care of yourselves & each other, everybody needs someone at some point!
