Some Pictures from Hershey 2014

I am a little behind in keeping this blog up to date, but I have an excuse. We have been busy getting ready to split our time between PA and FL. We have been moving stuff into the Fifth Wheel in Hershey and getting ready to drive the Motorhome to Florida for winter and beyond.

We have been in Florida about a month now and are pretty well settled in our parking space at Thousand Trails Orlando. We have our Christmas decorations up in a minimalist sort of way as we have cut back on our display.

Cathy and I celebrated our 44th Wedding Anniversary yesterday. We enjoyed dinner of Salmon Florentine with tossed salad and Fre Non-Alcoholic White Zinfandel. Dessert was Toasted Coconut Cream Pie.

We have been well although Cathy spent a few hours in the Emergency Room in Clermont last week. She had stumbled getting into bed from a bathroom trip, landing hard on her butt and bumping her head. On the next day she began to have some low back pains that persisted and wakened her at 3:00 AM. The Rescue Squad helped her into the ambulance because there is no way to get their big gurney into our little space. X-Rays and a CAT Scan were largely negative but did show some narrowing of the intervertebral spaces in the area of her old spinal fusion surgery. The surgical implants were secure and no fractures were seen. A couple of days later and she was pain free and remains so today!    

I will add some pictures here from Hershey although I confess to not taking a single photo on the drive through the Shenandoah Valley to Tennessee and on through Atlanta to here! The foliage in the mountains was disappointing this year.

The trees in the parking lot at Thousand Trails Hershey were very nice.

These waterfront trees are two of four which are always beautiful, but the others had not yet turned.

This was directly across the road from our spot.

There seemed to be many more Canadian Geese this year than in years past.

We watched this wild mushroom and several others nearby grow just outside our window.

Here are her Wings and Tail

This year Kendalyn volunteered to help with the Preserve's Annual Haunted Trail activity. She dressed in dark clothes and hid along the trail to jump out and scare people who paid good money just to be scared in that manner! She was given supper each evening and free admission to the park and parking for her efforts.

We take the Family Photos at Hershey annually. Here is 2014's Edition!
