The Big Guy was bitten

by the infamous Western Pennsylvania Boat Bug. A bite from this critter can lead to very serious implications. The only known treatment is to, well, buy a boat! After spending the past several weeks looking at many boats, new and used, we opted to go the pre-owned route. Today we became the proud owners of a 1990 Sunbird. She is in great condition and we are looking forward to some nice fall days out there on the lakes of Western PA. Between the boat and the golf course, we may never be home!

Now I'll have something to write about besides grandkids!!

Isn't she a beauty?

Wild Animal!!!!

On Saturday night, I was lying across the bed watching TV, and I saw out of the corner of my eye something scurrying or hopping across the floor. In a moment of panic, I realized it was TOO big to be a mouse so that meant it must be a RAT! A rat??? In my less than one year old house??? I was wrong. It was a baby bunny, no bigger than the palm of my hand. Very cute, little stubby ears and of course terrified. My knight in shining armor managed to corner it in the walk-in closet and get it into a laundry basket. We released it to the front yard. We are still wondering how it got in the house. I wish I had taken a picture......

Weekend Day Trip

Last Saturday we took a day trip up to Lake Tionesta. Had a lovely drive through Cooks Forest and an ice cream stop on the way. The lake was really nice, but not what we were looking for. R wanted to fish and it is a great lake for boaters but to fish from the shore would have involved a hike down a pretty steep trail. We did find a nice community park in Tionesta that was on the Allegheny River. We had a picnic lunch there. All in all, a really nice day. Life is good!
