It's my last Sunday for pancakes on the porch here at Black Forest & it's very enjoyable as always. Young Jonathan is 2 & was at the desk when I checked in several weeks ago. When I'm on the porch with my computer, he always comes around asking my name (he doesn't seem to believe it's Pappy) & rides his scooter. It has been a joy spending time with him.
Dugan's Pub was packed for the World Cup yesterday & a young kid sitting next to me was pulling for England. What a good match! When the USA finally scored, the place erupted & the young guy was very silent from then on.
Itinerary update: I'll be at Pipestem State Park, WVA, July 11-16. Looking to play a lot of golf & fish the New River. Also hoping a golf buddy or 2 might come join me.
Some bad new: Found out yesterday that my oldest half sister, Pat, has breast cancer & the prognosis isn't good. I talked with her & it reminded me so much of LaVerne after she got her news. I want to reconnect with her, as we were very close growing up. It was mutual admiration for a long time & we still feel very close. Please pray for her & her family.
Had a cool camp neighbor from Georgia named Howard. He had a gorgeous border collie named Rosie who melted my heart & reminded me so much of Pancho. Howard told me how Rosie had picked him over a period of time, until the owners finally said "she's yours, that's for sure!"
He also said something I'd never heard before: "My grandson is too lazy to die even. Death thinks he's already gone so keeps passing him by."
Life is good!

OMG! He is so precious. I have been enjoying all of your posts and following your travels. You are such an amazing person and very blessed. Enjoy and maybe one day our paths will cross again. Email me any time. Loves, Girlie Girl :-)
ReplyDeleteDear Fred, so sorry to hear about Pat, I think you were just telling me about her recently. I will be praying for her and her family and for you as well. I'm glad you are enjoying your travels and keeping us posted on them. Love, Lindalee
