We left North Carolina and took two days to drive the 440 miles to WashPA. It has been a whirlwind time since we arrived getting together with family and friends and keeping doctor appointments. Our dentist visit was a split with Jim getting a thumbs up and Nanc getting a root canal, cap to follow later. We both got good news from the dermatologist. My visit to the eye doctor showed the cataract situation has not changed, so no surgery this year. We have other appointments coming up and are hoping the positive news continues. We have been to several of our favorite restaurants with friends.
On our way north we stayed at Summersville Lake and were treated to this beautiful sunrise. The COE parks are almost always located on picturesque bodies of water.
Really!!! We passed this road on the way to the RV park.
One thing we always look forward to is going out with the lunch bunch who are mostly teachers I worked with. Sandy, Jim and Gail having a fun time.
Anna Marie (who is still teaching), Ron and Becky.
Phil, Linda Tom and Georgie are now all in full retirement mode and loving it.
On our first weekend we went to Marietta for a celebration of our great niece Morgan and Matt's recent marriage. We wish them the best on their new life adventure.
Two beautiful ladies Morgan and her mom Betsy.
Betsy and her husband Lou. The party was on the banks of the Muskingum River. The kids had a fun time in the water.
There was plenty of food and games to keep everyone busy.
Betsy and her mom Judy (Nanc's sister) enjoying the the homemade ice cream Morgan's grandfather made. It was wonderful. We spent the night with Judy so we had a great time getting caught up.
Our nephew Rick and his daughter Olivia. She sure has grown since the last time we saw her. We always tell Rick he and his brother Scott are the reason why we decided not to have kids, they were so bad:)
Lou and Betsy with their girls Emma and Jackie. Happy Birthday to Lou!!
Emma and Jackie are each raising a pig for the fair and one for the family. It's a great project for them to learn responsibility.
I took this picture off Facebook this week of Emma showing her pig at the fair.
On our way back to WashPA we stopped to see friends Jim and Darlene Brown. We saw them last year when we spent a couple days in the area soon after they retired here. They are now into the full retirement mode.
A very busy first start to our two month stay in WashPA with much more to come.

We're headed to Weirton on Wednesday for two weeks. Hopefully, we can get together.
No comments. I don't know. Am I not supposed to comment.
Anyhow good blog. I am impressed by your "bin there" maps. Everywhere. Wow.
Had to laugh as all the retired teachers are smiling but the one still teaching has a frown.
