The grounds around the Monument are really looking great now that the flowers have grown. There are many bus loads of folks visiting this time of year. Many of the people like to stop and ask questions, we try to stay out of the way of them taking photos, and sometimes we offer to take their picture. They always ask where we are from and say they would love to go on a mission to take care of the grounds.
June 22, Heather & Cassie rode Amtrak from Montreal to visit us, after being in Philidelphia, New York and Canada. We picked fresh strawberries, went to yard sales, checked out a couple thrift stores and went to the Christmas Tree Store (in July?). Heather was here just overnight, but Cassie was able to stay 5 days. We had a good time and visited many of the area attractions and did lots of hiking. I was able to a take a few days off, so felt like a mini vacation. Even went shopping without Nephi. Cassie & I found a great sale!!
Also had a nice visit from Rick & Rhonda Schroeder, our past bishop in Evanston, now living in Pennsylvania.
Last weekend was 4th of July. I wanted to find the 6 covered bridges we heard where in Tunbridge. It is a small village about 20 minutes from were we live. After a bit of searching we found and photographed all 6 of them. We had a picnic dinner with the other 6 missionary couples that evening, it was a nice time.
This weekend we traveled about 20 miles to Chelsea to go to their annual flea market. It was fun, but had an even better time at the yard sales on the way there. An old rocker for a dollar (needs lot of TLC), an old highchair (what are we going to do with that?), and some old license plates. Other peoples junk.....our treasure!
