It's been hot for a couple of days.We're supposed to get some rain and slightly cooler temperatures. It's supposed to be beautiful on Sunday for Christina's party.
Greg and Mel are coming up from NC for business in Buffalo the following week but will be here late this Friday. They will be here for the party and I'm hoping Greg and Judy will also make it (along with other Buffalo people)
I had my Mammogram today. There's always a little fear until the phone call comes (and it did) that everything is okay. My eye exam a couple of weeks ago was also great.
I'm again sitting by the lake writing this. Ron and Laura are off to the fair and a gig. Christina, Jessica, myself, Ron and Laura went to the Chautauqua Idol on the floating stage at Bemus last night. A young man aged 22 by the name of Shawn Wilder won. He had just won a contest at Findley Lake also. He is right on and doesn't make mistakes. It will be fun to watch his career.
Greg Mohr told me awhile ago that he had a fx. wrist. It should be pretty well healed by now.There are some pregnancy rumors from Florida. I'll have to get more details on that. I'll call Janice or check my facebook.
That's all for now..

Catching up again
I have to take this computer where there is Internet so I just don't take the time to write on this blog. I'm wondering about George's home in Collins NY. He lived near a creek and they say that Gowanda is a mess from the flash flooding.It's very sad. All of Hidden Valley campground was evacuated. Talked to a lady tonight and she has lost everything that was outside her camper.
I volunteered last weekend at Lucille Ball's birthday celebration at the playhouse. They have replicas of the sets that were used on the show. Then I was entitled to take the 2 hr. bus tour. That was interesting.
I took Christina with me Mon. night to skating. The attendance has dropped so much that they now skate to tapes. There were about 12 people there.They were all good to her and helped her. We went today to the 2 hr. session. They all have lunch there after and we learned the restaurant is closing down. I'm afraid the rink will soon follow.
This is short but they are closing down at the Vikings and if I don't want to get locked in here I'd better go.
Remember Christina's graduation party on August 23rd.

At the Lake
It's late afternoon and I'm sitting at a picnic table near the lake using my computer.There's not much new in my life. I have to admit I'm very cold today. It's about 70 but I am freezing. It's very pretty on the water. There are a few sailboats, etc.
I was served the papers today regarding Victor Mohr's estate. They had to be hand delivered. Wonder what they do about those who are out of town? His signature looks like it was done on his "death bed".The secretary's name is Flossie Minton, not Lincoln as I had thought.
I read Heidi's blog and it is true that you should note where you are when in unfamiliar territory. I used to do this when riding on the motorcycle with George. He knew where we were but I didn't so would make mental notes in case of an emergency.
I have been skating etc. but not much exciting happening in this life of mine.Sandy and I went to a session last night in Lily Dale. It was fun and we'll probably do it again sometime.The medium said I needed a very small dog.I guess that would be company since Bubbles the fish met his demise.
Derek was here Sunday with his three. They are beautiful children. Eli has such beautiful eyes.
I have been helping Lori get the girls to and from their jobs. They work as housekeepers for Vacation Rentals. They make pretty good money. I have thought about applying next year.(Kidding)
Carol Sawyer is leaving tomorrow for Colorado. Vicki is helping her drive there.I wish her well.
We are having a Viking trailer pig roast Saturday pm (band and all) There was one last year and it was a great success. It should be fun.
I'm supposed to meet Mary Jane, Kim and B.J. in Cassadaga for lunch on Tuesday.It's nice to get re-acquainted again.
I'm cold so will get back to my warm trailer. I keep having visions of my Florida home and the huge swimming pool.

more Stuff
I'm at the Laundromat again so will try and catch up with more stuff. I miss my conveniences at my Florida home.Internet, Laundry, Good TV etc.
Back to Southwestern Graduation.The speaker was the vice-president ,Patrick Williams, of the Orlando magic.He told the class to exercise the muscle that is their brain, even after graduation.He urged them to read, read, read.
Saturday night I went to Chautauqua and saw the Fabulous 3.Frankie Avalon, Fabian and Bobby Rydell. I actually talked to Bobby Rydell for a couple of minutes after the show.They were great.One of the Everly brothers sons played guitar and put on his own little show.
Sunday was Kaitlyn's Graduation party at the town park at Sinclairville. I hesitated about going as it was cool and rainy. I finally got there and was so glad I did.Roy, Mary Jane and Sue were there. Sue had two of her children with her.I haven't seen any of them in quite awhile.Mary Jane, Betty Jean and I are going to meet next Tuesday for lunch in Lily Dale.
Today I met with Flossie Lincoln from the lawyer's office representing Victor Mohr's estate.We finally got all the cousins straightened out. Apparently this is a sizable estate. A very good friend and Eileens niece are the heirs.Flossie told me that the house was so full of stuff that he bought a Fema trailer and was living in that and that was also full of stuff. He had 16 cats which were given to the Humane Society and he left a good amount of money to them.The house isn't worth much but the land is.Because there was no spouse or children it has been a difficult job for her.

Catching up
I don't have access to the Internet always so as a result my blog has suffered.I left my home in Florida on June 1st staying with Mike and Leslie that night. The next day I drove to Walterboro, S.C.and met Melanie there. She had ridden that far with Dale and Glenna as they were going to Savannah, Ga. on business.( Do you see how prayers get answered?) I was really fretting about getting home to NY.We,no she drove back to Rolesville and we got there very late pm.This is Zach's 19th Birthday.Happy Birthday Zach.
Mel, Loretta, and I did our usual thing, shopping for 3 days.Chris flew in Friday night and he and I left for NY Saturday am.
Monday morning was sad for me as I attended the funeral of a dear friend Betty Morgan.There were 4 couples in our early years that went around together. Now Betty, Bob, Donna and Bill are gone. Don't take anything for granted.
I came home the beginning of June to watch Christina and Jessie while Dave & Lori went to Michigan for Viking business. They were good and we bonded.
I had two problems at my camper and they are now fixed. No hot water or TV.
Greg and Mel came here a few days early on Tuesday the 16th and on Friday Heidi, Dan and Kat, Mike, Leslie and Zach arrived.Saturday was the Graduation Party at the Optomist Club for Lynn and Ashley, new graduates of JCC and Sunday was the Mohr Family reunion. Ann and husband were here from Missouri.I think it was a good reunion and enjoyed by all. Pauline Cole was a guest. She is Aunt Dot Mohr's niece and recently got possession of family pictures from our cousin Victor Mohr's home. I now have a large picture of Jacob and Sussanna Mohr our ancestors who came from Germany.
Thursday night we went to Christina's Baccelaurate program and Friday night was her Graduation from Southwestern High School.(Class of 2009) I love the text message she sent me---- R U at graduation yet As if I would ever miss that
I went to Carol's today to see if I could help with her sale. Business was terrible. While there I also visited Betty Jean and she showed me all they've done to their home. It's beautiful.
I've done a little skating and will do more of that this summer. I don't do much dancing as I don't have anyone to dance with.
The weather is beautiful, especially when I hear it's been so hot in Florida.
I'll try to do better with this blog. Wish I had more interesting stuff to write about.

Back to New York
Ana is back in Tenn. and I'm almost ready to depart for Jamestown, NY. Dale and Glenna from Marshall Institue in Raleigh are coming to Savannah,Ga. on Tuesday so Mel will ride down with them.I will drive from Flagler beach to Savannah and meet them there and Mel and I will then go back to Raleigh. I love it when a plan comes together.I will have a couple of days there and then Chris flies in Friday night and we leave for NY on Saturday.
We've had some really bad rainstorms with flooding of roads etc. Holly Hill got hit quite hard.
I'm afraid I am going to really miss this Florida home of mine.I also have a man friend named Mike DePonte from Port Orange and I'm going to miss him.. He came up Sat.and fixed the bathroom door at Jane's house for her.It had not shut right in years.Then he noticed I had a flat tire (nail)so we spent the rest of the afternoon getting that fixed. Sure glad it didn't happen on 95.
He had his own construction co. in England where he lived for 30 some years. His wife died about 6 yrs. ago with breast cancer.I hope he gets a chance to come to the Vikings and spend some time there. He's a great fisherman.
See you all at the Mohr reunion. It sounds like it will be a great one.

Finally I write
I've had some setbacks but now am finally back to the computer. My friend Ana flew into Sanford from Tenn.last Monday. We went to her timeshare in St. Augustine for the rest of the week. She loves to cook so took half of my kitchen with her. (baking dishes, foodstuffs,etc.etc.) She entertained her friends from Orange Park one day. I had a wedding there so took her to a friends so I could go with Tom and Helga on Sat.to the wedding and reception which were both wonderful.Tom was the best man. He is thin and looks tired. He grabbed me for a very short swing dance.I think he enjoyed that.Helga watches him so closly and doesn't want him to get too tired etc.I stayed overnight at Mike and Leslie's and Ana is still there with her friend. I will meet them in St. Augustine on Tuesday and will bring her back here for another week.The Bridge of Lions in St. Augustine is progressing nicely. They are replacing the old bridge making it look as authentic as the original one. There were 2 interesting boats moored in the harbor. Perhaps they were replicas of the Pinto and Santa Maria.
I did get the results back from the genetic testing and it was negative. That's good news for everyone.
We're having much needed rain.I have 4 Bird of Paradise plants out back and one is blooming early for me. It's beautiful.
There's not much else new. I'm slowly working on getting this house and myself ready for my departure to NY. I find life to be so interesting. Every morning I wonder what the day will hold. Usually it's completely different from what I had planned.
I have two Dr. appts. today and then I will go to Don and Janice's to check their house while they are in Arizona for an NRA convention.I hope they are having a good time.
It's still thundering at 8am. We need the rain so badly that I welcome it.
